What is the AT Protocol?
Wikipedia: “The #ATProtocol (Authenticated Transfer Protocol, pronounced "@ protocol" and commonly shortened to ATProto) is a protocol and #OpenStandard for #distributed #socialNetworking services. It is under development by #BlueskySocial #PBC, a public benefit corporation originally created as an independent research group within #Twitter to investigate the possibility of #decentralizing the service.”
It's behavior like this that convinced me to leave #Meta forever. #Google, #Microsoft, and #Apple have also been using our data to train their #AI in the form of taking our writing from word processors. This is why I've been #decentralizing from these corrupt tech giants. No more free data from me.
@element it's even more important to actively work against such #Cyberfacist laws by supporting and demanding #SelfCustody of keys as well as #decentralizing harder through putting stuff on @torproject / #Tor network!
Giving #Cyberfacists not just the finger but shaft them so hard they'll be incapable of enforcing anything at all!
@Mer__edith so will @signalapp stop collecting #PII like #PhoneNumbers and actively work towards making #compliance with such #cyberfacist demands impossible by truly #decentralizing and moving onto @torproject for it's infrastructure...
If not, why?

“When they talked by phone, Mr. #Zuckerberg asked Mr. #Masnick what Facebook was doing wrong. Given his distaste for powerful tech companies that exercise too much control over people’s internet experience, Mr. Masnick suggested that Mr. Zuckerberg consider #decentralizing.”
