For those who think #BlueSky is a safe alternative to #X and #Meta, and not at all like them, today I learned that, according to #Mozilla, BlueSky is feeding information about its users to ShadowDragon's #SocialNet, a tool used by U.S. Government agencies like #ICE to "fuel mass surveillance".
Seems to me that if you do not agree with the current U.S. Governments efforts to harass immigrants and round up non-whites, even if they are legally in the U.S., then maybe you don't want to support Bluesky after all, and you need to ask yourself what type of people they are for supporting this?
There are more than 200 websites feeding information to the U.S. government.
This is why, with the concerns I have about Mozilla, I still support them, BTW.
