Social media is great if it is not controlled by government, for profit corporations, and AI. This is why I run my own social media servers in the fediverse: Mastodon, Pleroma, Peertube..
- LeonTheremin 4y agoGood, but using Intel/AMD/Qualcomm/Apple to run open-source code still exposes people to hardware backdoors and silicon trojans that negate any security and privacy. You don't need to take my testimony that all US designed CPUs are backdoored with BadBIOS at face value, be skeptical, but not from one side only - be skeptical of the billionaire side also.
- kornhole 4y agoI believe you are describing exploits that could be used in targeted surveillance rather than mass surveillance and manipulation which are the main concerns in social media. Targeted surveillance requires identifying targets and how to reach them. If a bunch of anonymous users are using somebody's social media server via TOR or VPN, I am not sure how those individuals could be identified and targeted, but please enlighten me.
