#DataFarming
Please complain about this by the way. The subterfuge and datafarming from unsuspecting users that *aren't* aware of is highly disgusting, and the 'not collecting data' part is utter bullshit unless they feel like exploding our personal devices right now.

If it's Indeed I'm about 95% sure they're just datafarming off of fake job listings.

CAUTION! LNP trickery again! They are using a website www.postal.vote encouraging voters to register for a postal vote. This is NOT the AEC website, but an LNP website. They are sending out propaganda in the mail. Copy attached. #auspol Bodgy AGAIN!

ai datafarming as government policy
:)
Starting July 25, Bluesky will require users in the UK to scan their face, upload an ID or verify their identity with a bankcard.

I realize that platforms feel they have no choice but to comply with the government surveillance schemes, but shocking nonetheless.
Bluesky is rolling out age verification in the UK
Bluesky users in the UK can verify their age using their face, ID, or payment card.

A couple of days ago I said of age-gating laws;

> We need to fight this *on principle*, now, before it has a chance to target the fediverse, and try to force us to become part of the digital panopticon

Here's an example of the scope creep going beyond DataFarming platforms […]

Today I deleted my accounts on Tinder and Bumble. The DataFarming was concerned from day 1, and the enshittification is accelerating on both. With more and more features disappearing behind paywalls, or web interfaces being scrapped, to force installation of the app (for more DataFarming) […]

Please self-reflect before complaining so so loudly about having to pack up and move again just because your latest stomping ground has become a dogshit hyperconsumerist datafarming hole in the ground AGAIN cuz it doesnt mean digging in your heels and crying about is any less embarassing!!!

Sluit me hierbij aan. Als afsluiter in een draad of gewoon als herinnering bij een link. Het mag best vaak voor het hinderlijk word, want het alternatief van betaalmuur of datafarming via add-cookies is veel vervelender imho.

So what happens to the datafarming tools and the warehousing if AI security just becomes its own entity of hacking everything or as it's "owners" would call it, penetration testing. Probably in the next decade, automated hacking will be problematic beyond comprehension, I think. What funding what?

Konichiwa @ureterocele.bsky.social, always good to see more musicians in the fediverse. I don't think we have anyone from Japan on this forum yet, where we're plotting how to liberate online music distribution from corporate DataFarming platforms. Come join the musical rebel alliance! […]

These meme trains where you post a pic of yourself doing xyz or list your favorite things, etc... that info can be used for facial recognition and datafarming e.g. answers to login security questions.

I'm guilty of it too, but please be aware & careful

And I'm gonna be honest here - I don't think it's a battle we are ultimately going to win

people LOVE being surveilled. Look how many datafarming apps you have on your phone. We ASK to be surveilled. If people aren't surveilling us, then we do it ourselves and put it on social media!

If you're involved in running a website, community forum, anything online, for any purpose it's worth asking yourself and your team this hypothetical question;

If Goggle, scAmazon, and all the other DataFarming tech corporations had a 24 hr outage tomorrow, would your site/ forum/ whatever fall […]

Okay, I made my Instagram/Facebook farewell. I gave myself a few days so I can gather my photos and reach out to people I want to stay in contact with.

I'm going to sleep and when I wake up, I'm getting fucking druuuunk
We're all better off without nazi Republicans datafarming us with algorithms

If you don't like being hounded and tracked when simply reading published information, I recommend switching browser to #BraveBrowser.

Brave blocked over 50 scripts & trackers on this one #NYT article alone.

Helps me blacklist #datafarming providers. Seeya #NYT.
