Still, only a few provide the AI used to automate the targeting and killing of Palestinians, the vast majority being civilians of course

The amount of people in this thread who justify the EU sending weapons to Israel and supporting Israel is concerning

That’s relatively benign when compared the military tech Israel markets and exports abroad after testing on the Palestinian civilian population.

Bad and worth condemning, yes. Nonetheless significantly better than the tech they could have gotten from Israel, who’s tech is far more violent and invasive on the civilian population

That could work, it looks like it was a lot of features like reacts and video calls. How easy it is to setup and ‘plug-and-play’ will determine whether I’ll be able to convince people to use it

Is there a better alternative? I don’t see anything conclusive in the link on that front

I think addiction is a key aspect. Like with gambling there is of course that aspect of responsibility, but regulation to minimize harm is also important.

All the major social media apps being designed to exploit that dopamine response is kind of like junk foods being the most common due to being subsidized; of course people just shouldn’t eat junk food, but we should make healthy options the most prevalent and common instead.

Of course that would require a government that would actually force corporations to implement harm reductive measures, instead of one bought by and working for corporations…

FOSS alternatives like Lemmy, Pixelfed, and Loops should be much healthier due to no algorithm working to maximize engagement. I also think social isolation is a big part of the addiction aspect, at least in America
