Did you buy a coffee this morning?

Well done! You just paid more tax than ExxonMobil (the 7th richest company in the world) has in the last 3 years. 🎉

As per @selea & @rysiek's suggestion I've started a PeerTube channel for video recordings of interesting FOSDEM 2019 sessions.

You can follow it via @fosdem2019 or https://peertube.social/video-channels/fosdem2019/about

It's kicking off with the ActivityPub panel hosted by @cwebber & Gualter Barbas Baptista.

@sophia I don't even use an ad-blocker or any security software anymore because the GDPR notices take care of my privacy for me.

It's just so bloody convenient!

It would seem that #Facebook are learning that you can't circumvent democratically-elected governments and the law indefinitely.

They're doubly screwed because parliamentary privilege means that disclosure of these documents by elected or appointed representatives in the UK won't lead to prosecutions.

It's interesting that people are "shocked" at Facebook lying about video metrics, costing hundreds (possibly thousands) of journalists their jobs.

This is literally their business model. They lie to get people to do something that's profitable to them, apologise when they get found out, then proceed to do it again! #DeleteFacebook

Up to 50m Facebook accounts attacked, and the company once again apologises and says "your security and privacy are really important to us" 🤦♂️ http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-45686890
