●● The World Wide Web is a Cesspit of Misinformation. Let’s Do Something About It.

Posted in Deception, Site News at 9:45 pm by Dr. Roy Schestowitz

Social control media is a culmination of that and by far the worst, a principal culprit

Summary: It would be nice to make the Web a safer space for information and accuracy (actual facts) rather than a “Safe Space” for oversensitive companies and powerful people who cannot tolerate criticism; The Web needs to become more like today's Gemini, free of corporate influence and all other forms of covert nuisance

=> more like today's Gemini, free of corporate influence and all other forms of covert nuisance

ABOUT four months ago I left my job at Sirius ‘Open Source’ (one of the first FSF sponsors) after nearly 12 years at the company. I will be publishing a lot more about how this company robbed its own staff, probably posting an update just once or twice per week. The company is under investigation at the moment; it’s also losing some very big clients.

“My plan is to devote a lot more time/energy to these Internet issues; they’re about as important as Software Freedom and are arguably a prerequisite.”

I left my job when I was 40 and since then I’ve focused on many other things. I didn’t lack projects to work on and I finally had a lot more time in my hands. As noted here last night, one aspiration of ours is to curate what’s left of the World Wide Web algorithmically, seeing that a lot of today’s Web is spam or sponsored propaganda. Gemini does not have this issue (yet).

Another issue is censorship; Ryan just wrote about that, based on his own experience. My plan is to devote a lot more time/energy to these Internet issues; they’re about as important as Software Freedom and are arguably a prerequisite. The photo at the top is me by the way, I stumbled upon it last night when searching old photos because my sister gets married later today. She’s a Debian user and programmer, leading a small team despite being in her mid 20s. She is also my closest sibling. █
