You remember #Apple scanning all images on your #mobile device?

If you have an #Android #phone, a new app that doesn't appear in your menu has been automatically and silently installed (or soon will be) by #Google.

You can uninstall this app safely via System -> Apps.

According to cloudflare I am a bot.

I fucking hate modern web.

Many people reported having their accounts banned and content removed after commenting on the assassination of UnitedHealth Group CEO Brian Thompson, showing just how much control over our online expression social media and financial platforms have. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/01/platforms-systematically-removed-user-because-he-made-most-wanted-ceo-playing
