“The tactic means #chatbots absorb #content that would otherwise be excluded because it comes from an untrustworthy #source.

"Content is being aggregated by #Pravda through the seemingly independent #domain, and these chatbots are unable to realise that this site is actually a Russian propaganda site," Ms Sadeghi said.

That widely-held theory about the network's true purpose was confirmed in January this year when #JohnDougan, a key #Kremlin #propagandist, said as much at a #Moscow roundtable with journalists, which was published online.”

#AI poisoning has been known for a while. #SEO stuffing authoritative #WebPages through articles, read by crawlers and injected into #LLM s.

Disable third-party sign-in prompts on websites.

To make account registration and login faster, some websites offer to create accounts using a third-party service, such as Google, Apple, Facebook, etc. When you’re logged into one of the aforementioned sites, you’ll notice sign-in prompts popping up on websites that have implemented third-party sign-ins.

It may be easy to create an account that way, but it does allow the service providers to track and profile you, and the website may get access to personal data you might not have shared using their own sign-up form, to name just a couple of risks.

If you won’t be using this sign-in method and prefer not to see these prompts either, you can block them.

To disable third-party sign-in prompts:

  1. Go to Settings > Privacy and Security > Website Permissions > Global Permissions.
  2. Locate “Third-Party Sign-In” on the list of permissions and select “Block”.

Thoughts about the internet—

Flashy videos that chase people around the page and bright, rapidly-scrolling page headers might be good for grabbing attention, but they are torture to a migraine sufferer. I want to run away from a page with lots of motion and flashing, not stay on it.

Ana Rodrigues: In defense of unpolished personal websites. “My imperfect and unpolished code on my personal website isn’t the full reflection on my technical abilities or knowledge of web development standards. It’s a constant draft where my handwriting is legible and where I want optimization takes a backseat. It’s where I use the little free time I have to actually write on it and […]

Same issue seen from opposite point of view: the very same #webpages using #GAFAM logins are also nightmares when it comes to privacy.

I found an answer to my question on a site called geeksforgeeks. I will not link or use a hashtag because

1) According to urlscan.io their website uses 17 different tracking and/or cookie technologies that require consent in the case of EU/EEA users: urlscan.io/result/66ad45ce-1d7

They don't ask for consent for anything.

2) Cookiebot analysis reveals the site uses 101 different trackers:
cookiebot.com/en/compliance-te

Even though this is not a FLOSS (Free/Libre and Open Source Software) site it is important to understand how what the revenue comes from. It comes from selling the data of the person visiting their site. Pure surveillance capitalism.

As you can not really know what kind of #privacy or #surveillancecapitalism hell you land into while browsing, use appropriate safeguards. Using #TorBrowser is an easy solution. As many sites (that very often are a privacy nightmare) do not allow access from Tor network, use safeguards in your normal browser. @eff has an excellent collection of privacy tools: eff.org/deeplinks/2016/09/five

They also have a dedicated Surveillance Self Defence site: ssd.eff.org/

Have a look, listen and enjoy.

About the Channel im.allmendenetz.de/@ehma


This pages are a demo site by allmendenetz.de for demonstrating how Faircamp - a static site generator for audio producers - and Hubzilla - a #CMS for the Fediverse - can work together as one system to present music in a network like the Fediverse.

By the decentralized #Fediverse network millions of attendees have the option to get in contact with you, follow and commend your #music releases and read all your news without depending on a single network provider.

With #Faircamp it is quid easy to generate beautiful looking webpages on your pc for presenting your audio files in the internet.

With #Hubzilla audio producer get the option to host this webpages easy on the web and in the Fediverse so that also a combination with your personal network news channel can be easy realized. Also they get the option to distributed files with the fine graded permissions system of Hubzilla. So not every thing has to be public and e.g. special downloads can be granted just to selected contacts and also connect to the Hubzilla #shop app.

In an ideal case an audio producer would install such a system under an own domain but also the option to host several artists under one hub URL may be interesting for some.

So for this demo site we were looking for a special musician and so we found the lovey music pieces by ehma which are all licensed under copyleft licenses.

Have a look, listen and enjoy.
