"They came for the Communists, and I didn’t object – For I wasn’t a Communist;
They came for the Socialists, and I didn’t object – For I wasn’t a Socialist;
They came for the labor leaders, and I didn’t object – For I wasn’t a labor leader;
They came for the Jews, and I didn’t object – For I wasn’t a Jew;
Then they came for me – And there was no one left to object."
-Martin Niemöller, on the rise of the Nazis to power

This can happen to Signal too. Don't forget, #Signal rents servers from #Amazon #AWS and #Google which is out of their control.

I don't care about #parler but people should be given the choice to decentralise and block / join instances - like you can on a self hosted #mastodón

President Trump is NOT on GAB. His account is reserved. Statement from owner of GAB.
"The President’s Gab account is already reserved with hundreds of thousands of followers"

@Debradelai
Can the word be announced and spread by Quods everywhere as a reserved spot being reserved on SQV for the president? Gab transferred his whole twitter feed from 2016.

I know a lot of folks in the comments read this are like "YAAAAS," which, like—I get it. But imagine for a moment a world that exists for more than the next 13 days, and this becomes a milestone that will endure.

One of the easiest ways to understand how #facebook works is to look from the perceptive of their customers - no not you ❌ but their [billion dollar advertising customers]
Obviously, fire up Tor - visit their ad and business page. Look it up via your search engine. Follow the link in the screenshots.
So many contradicting statements 'we use your personal data' 'we don't use your personal data' you realize it's a gimmick.
Money speaks. Facebook is an ̶s̶o̶c̶i̶a̶l̶ ̶n̶e̶t̶w̶o̶r̶k̶i̶n̶g advertising company.

@kravietz God's laws aren't a series of random rules He wrote down to torment us, but are a guide to the Good Life. The path is hard, but if we live as God commands, more often than not, we will have good, fulfilling lives. Sin is anything that cuts us off from a good life, and from God. The forces of Satan lust after the children of God, and seek to cleave us from God. The forces of Satan lie, and preach tolerance of sin, with the intent of recruiting souls to sin.
Jesus taught that virtue is like a plant that requires propitious environmental conditions, and a virtuous man works to ensure those conditions are maintained. Good does not arise out of elements which are contrary to Natural Law.
You are being mislead. I will pray for you.

TikTok automatically collects vast troves of private data - browsing & search histories, location data, messages, metadata, cookies +more.
TikTok’s ToS say it can send all of this back to Beijing-based ByteDance, which would be required by Chinese law to hand it over to the CCP.
