A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

How do we know that Fediverse will be any different? After all if it is a law and you get a legal subponae, you comply with it.
It probably wouldn't be.
The thing is, Meta has the money and power to fight against injustices like this, but instead, they're complicit, and I'd prefer their corrupting influence stay far, far away from the fediverse.
Dude it’s not really called complicit anymore they’re effectively a subsidiary of the government.
Agree. People like to act like Lemmy is a utopia where privacy is always protected and what not. The fact is when it comes down to it, the admins have to comply with the law. If a warrant shows up at their door, they got no choice but to give up information.
From an opsec standpoint, certainly. Or they'll kick in your door like the Kolektiva admin. Definitely best to use end to end encryption if you have any need to protect yourself from state actors. But also fuck meta
