  • Maybe the data brokers might delete based on the requests, but it seems this is a lot deeper than anything the GDPR could fix as the data would be reuploaded and updated, because the data comes from the “analytics” and “diagnostics” SDKs, being uploaded to data brokers and unified under the advertisement ID from google and apple devices/browsers.

    I think this could only be broken by not using the advertisement ID (that was promised to help anonimize the advertisement data) and block all the requests by DNS blocking on the whole device, like with Ublock Origin + Hosts file + pihole/nextdns/adguard, etc.

    Edit: also blocking cwsystem.com, cwtapp.com, cobwebsapp.com and subdomains, because they can host malware made from the company that owns this system.






  • On one of my phones I do this plus delete/disable everything from google, except play services and play services framework (with everything disabled in there, only cloud messaging enabled). For apps on the play store I just download from aurora store.

    The only thing I needed the play store for was to register 2FA for the government app on that phone. On the rest, it didn’t make a difference.

    On another phone I use microg and it works fine too. I think attestation (safetynet) and disabled root and dev tools will make everything work fine, I put my hosts file using adb in recovery mode and no application has noticed. No banking app, nothing noticed.

    I didn’t know that Android would block installs from “unauthorized sources” using play protect, I thought it would be hardcoded into play services or even on the android images.

    Edit: for such a “secure” implementation, etc, it seems very weak, ngl






  • Idk, i think it should have reparations, like, if for hundreds of years, robbing, killing, enforcing servitude of tens of millions of people for the enrichment of a few countries should make these countries pay. It gave these countries the backbone to todays “welfare states”, the industrial revolution was kickstarted on the cotton and sugar fields that these enslaved people worked, etc, etc, etc.

    I don’t care about the legality, the wording, the whatever, it seems pretty clear to me that this should happen, and them giving this response shows that basically they don’t care and never cared.








  • This seems a very simplistic way of seeing racism. Like, to me, complex human interactions and systems cannot be simplified in this manner:

    Some are expressed as formulas (priviledge+power or prejutice+power) with the key concept being power.

    There’s a lot more nuance than this. If you’re thinking about structural racism, the legal, the opportunity given, segregational, educational and societal (even if not official) factors of racism, that’s what I think it is, the amalgamation of various factors into the added institution of racism, as they are at the structural foundation of our modern society, not just a guy being racist, not just priviledge, but the educational access for black people or laws implicitly made to keep latinos out of legality (some examples).

    It’s not that simple. Check this and this as they’re a good start.

    And, to the question, in the definition I just gave, the question:

    To what extent is the standard structural definition of racism structurally racist?

    Doesn’t even make sense, as describing the ways racism prevail in society is not racist, because the definition of racism is a lot different than this.
