Privacy concerns with Facebook
Facebook and other services by Meta Platforms (doing business as Meta) have faced a number of privacy concerns. These stem partly from the company's revenue model that involves selling information collected about its users for many things including advertisement targeting. Meta has also been a part of many data breaches that have occurred within the company. These issues and others are further described including user data concerns, vulnerabilities in the company's platform, investigations by pressure groups and government agencies, and even issues with students. In addition, employers and other organizations/individuals have been known to use Meta for their own purposes. As a result, individuals' identities and private information have sometimes been compromised without their permission. In response to these growing privacy concerns, some pressure groups and government agencies have increasingly asserted the users' right to privacy and to be able to control their personal data.

I understand perfectly well. My questions concern the people behind the flood of content about W since we launched our beta in June. Who are they? Who funds them? What other financial interests might they have? And why is the site anonymous? Those are reasonable questions about transparency.
Back at #AtmosphereConf @transrights.northsky.social demoed a very raw alpha of our private data solution Stratos. I'm happy to say that we are ready for a public Alpha! To level the playing field, it supports space *and* non-space PDS users so you can talk privately together clubhouse.atverkackt.de
Aye > Data Ownership as a conversation changes when data resides primarily with people (..). > Instead of arguing for what kinds of data we ought to be able to download from the corporate silos, the platforms should be asking us what kinds of data they may copy from *our* servers.

The web can be made personal again. blog.muni.town/personal-data-storage-idea/
I’ve said this elsewhere but I would KILL for (and pay for) a service to host my PDS and have an AP server running off that same data, the way Fedisky set out to enable one social web source of truth. micro.blog feels uniquely positioned to provide this, any chance you’d consider doing that?
