Today is the World Press Freedom Day. Established by the United Nations to celebrate the right to freely impart and receive information. The freedom of expression is a basic universal human right that secures all other rights. Here is to every one who is protecting or fighting to protect digital rights!

I don't typically publish every job opening we have @purism but since I know other pro tech writers follow me, I thought some of you might want to know about a new technical writer position we just posted. Details here: https://puri.sm/job/technical-writer/

For Big Tech companies there are several ways to strip you off of your privacy and to gain control of your digital rights. These companies understand that privacy is really about control. Because they control the OS, their app stores, and their respective clouds, they control their customers’ privacy. They use this control to their advantage against competitors. Do not fall prey to privacy washing 📢 https://puri.sm/posts/privacy-washing-do-as-i-say-not-as-i-do/

Okay, it's time to tell new users a secret about Mastodon.
Mastodon is (whispers) part of a much bigger network 😮
Mastodon servers use an open standard called ActivityPub to talk to each other. That's how you interact with people on other Mastodon servers.
But, dozens of other federated networks also use ActivityPub, so (this is the good bit!) you can follow people on these other networks from your Mastodon account!
For example:
PixelFed (https://pixelfed.org) is a photo sharing network, here's a random example account @Iancylkowski
PeerTube (https://joinpeertube.org) is a video sharing network, with a p2p system that allows videos to go viral even on small servers, here's a random account @craftykat
BookWyrm (https://joinbookwyrm.com) is a social reading site, an open alternative to Amazon's Goodreads, here's a random account @mouse
Together, Mastodon and these other services form... The Fediverse

Social media platforms help us to stay connected with each other and the world. What went wrong is that in a bid to grow their engagement metrics and revenues, social media channels started to track, monitor and control their users’ behavior. They manipulate the users’ thirst to their advertiser’s ends. So what's the way forward? Read more ➡️ https://puri.sm/posts/the-future-of-socialmedia/
Does your software pass the simple freedom test?
✔️ Can you run the program as you wish?
✔️ Can you study its source code?
✔️ Can you share it alike?
If you can, you have complete control and you can avoid harm. Read Founder and CEO, Todd Weaver's advice here ➡️https://puri.sm/posts/control-freedom-and-harm/
Catch-up with @kyle at the LinuxFest Northwest on April 24. His talk will explore how he uses OpenSnitch on his mobile Linux device. Apps have a bad habit of snitching on their owners. While this is a much bigger problem on Android and iOS, it's still valuable to detect when apps phone home on Linux. Get the details: https://linuxfestnorthwest.org/conferences/2022/program/proposals/653
Are you still relying on a single infosec vendor? We live in an interconnected and interdependent world. Many people have realized over the past few years just how dependent they have been on outsourced infrastructure and supplies, and how unnerving it can be when those things are disrupted. In response, many people have changed their focus toward more self-sufficiency. Read how you can reduce dependence and increase your ability to manage your security.
