Digital rights means YOU own your data, YOU control your devices, YOU can repair what you buy, and YOU decide who sees your private life. It's about having the same rights in the digital world that we expect in the physical one

When free speech is defined as the right to spread hate speech and disinformation, while making money from the societal disarray that results, it is not free speech at all.

8. This has been a short and honestly rather peevish thread, so if you want read more that has been written in a more equanimous tone, here's a short piece that I coauthored a few years ago, precisely about how we deal with this kind of duplicity.

Musk has adjusted Grok’s algorithm so it’s now a neo-Nazi.
Pretty cool that almost every progressive commentator, elected official and organization still uses Musk’s X algorithm to communicate with the public! Good job guys.
