Bonjour à tous,
Débutante ici je recherche un moyen de m’extraire de Facebook (j’avoue, ça fait un moment mais je suis longue à la détente ^^). Malheureusement il me manque les médias que j’ai l’habitude de lire (ou s’ils sont présents leur actualité y est réduite) ainsi que mes amis.
Est-ce que vous avez des conseils pour motiver l’entourage à migrer ici et pour suivre quotidiennement les posts de vos médias préférés sans passer par Facebook? (idem pour Youtube car il me semble que Peertube ne propose que peu de contenu de ce que j’ai pu explorer)
Merci d’avance pour vos idées :)

#DeutscheWelle #SozialeMedien #FacebookSoziale Medien - Bundesgerichtshof stoppt Datensammlung von Facebook
Facebook muss das Sammeln und Bündeln von Nutzerdaten vorerst stoppen. Der Bundesgerichtshof bestätigte in einem Eilentscheid eine Verbotsverfügung des Bundeskartellamts. Die Begründung der Wettbewerbshüter, dass Facebook seine marktbeherrschende Stellung missbrauche, sei nicht zu beanstanden, erklärte der BGH. Wer ein Facebook-Konto unterhält, muss der Nutzung seiner Daten zustimmen. Gesammelt werden nicht nur personenbezogene Informationen, die bei der Nutzung der Facebook-Dienste selbst anfallen. Das Netzwerk führt darüber hinaus Daten zusammen, die der Nutzer etwa bei WhatsApp, Instagram - die ebenfalls zu Facebook gehören - hinterlässt. Diese Praxis hatte das Kartellamt im Februar 2019 gestoppt und gefordert, die Nutzer müssten eine Wahlmöglichkeit haben.www.deutschlandfunk.de

Take-up will have to be colossal for the virus to be totally supressed [sic]. Academics advising the NHS estimate 80% of smartphone users - 60% of the population - would have to actively use it. By comparison, about 67% of UK smartphone users have downloaded messaging app WhatsApp.So, they appear to be doubting that enough people will use the new contact-tracing app, but more than enough people already use Facebook's individual-tracing WhatsApp.
Millions in the UK will soon be asked to download an app that helps to limit coronavirus spreading.www.bbc.co.uk

Wanna break free from #Google?
Here are some recommendations:
- Instead of #gmail, I use #disroot (disroot.org). with #k9 (k9mail.github.io) and #thunderbird (thunderbird.net) as clients.
- Instead of #google search, I use #searx (Searx instances), #duckduckgo (duckdukgo.com), and #startpage (startpage.com).
Searx instance FuckOffGoogle.de has the most suggessive name.
I recommend setting it as a default search engine on publicly used computers (at your school, work place, internet caffees, etc.)- Instead of #youtube, I use #peertube (joinpeertube.org) and #invidious (Invidious Instances).
I also use #firefox #addon PeerTubeify to get redirected to peertube if a #video is available from there.- Instead of #googleplus, I use #diaspora (diasporafoundation.org).
- Instead of #chrome, I use #icecat (Icecat), #firefox (Firefox), and #tor #browser (torproject.org).
- Instead of #chromeos, I use #Parabola #GNU #linux-libre (parabola.nu) and #linuxmint (linuxmint.com).
- Instead of google #calendar, I use #nextcloud / #owncloud calendar (nextcloud.com).
- Instead of #googledrive, I use #nextcloud and #syncthing (syncthing.net)
- Instead of google forms, I use Framaforms.
It is only available in French, which unfortunately I don't speak, but that does not stop me from regularly using it. B-)- Instead of doodle, I use Framadate.
- Instead of #android, I use #replicant OS (replicant.us) on a Technoethical S3 phone.
#FSFE has a good website freeyourandroid.org about liberating your device.- Instead of #googleplay, I use #F-Droid (f-droid.org).
If you want to reach all apps from Google Play, I recommend #yalp store (YalpStore), but be warned that most of the apps there are not #free-software.- Instead of #googlemaps, I use #openstreetmap (openstreetmap.org).
- Instead of google street view, I use #mapillary (mapillary.com).
- For text #chat, I use #xmmp with my #disroot account, with pix-art messanger #fork of #conversations (Conversations) on mobile and gajim on desktop.
- For video chat, I use #jitsi (jitsi.org).
- #Framasoft and #diroot offers plenty of other great services. See https://degooglisons-internet.org/en/list/ and https://disroot.org/en/#_white-bar
- Finally, I recommend you to spread/share your desire, successes and difficulties (both online and offline) of getting free from Google and #GAFAM ( #Google, #Apple, #Facebook, #Amazon, #Microsoft) in general.

How Facebook tracks you on Android (even if you don't have a Facebook account)
Hackernoon
(...) 1 Facebook is able to track you because Android developers of 3rd party apps (example: Indeed Job Search) implement Facebook’s Software Development Kit (SDK).
2 SDK is a collection of tools that eases the creation of software. By using Facebook SDK, developers can do advanced analytics without the need to code it from scratch. SDK is like a Swiss Army Knife. With it, you can start your job immediately instead of having to build your own scissors, knife, corkscrew etc.
3 This article is written based on the research conducted by Frederike Kaltheuner and Christopher Weatherhead. You can watch the full video here. The official study can be found here. (...)
According to Privacy International, research done by the University of Oxford has suggested that approximately 42.55% of the free apps in the Google Play Store could share data with Facebook. (...)
Out of the 42.55%, this study picked 34 apps, based on the fact that they have either a huge number of installations, or they involve sensitive information such as religion and health, or they are simply utility apps (You know, torchlight, QR code scanner, fart sound etc). (...)
Out of the 34 apps, over 61% of them automatically transfer data to Facebook the moment a user opens the app. (...)
What’s our defense? (...)
1. Reset your advertising identifier (Very simple)
Every device has an advertising identifier (aka ad id). You can’t stop Facebook or Google from tracking you but you can make their tracking difficult by frequently resetting your ad id. If you reset it, in theory, Facebook and Google algorithms will view you as a different person in your next online activity.
Android Phone: Go to settings > Google > Ads > Reset advertising identifier
iPhone: Go to settings > Privacy > Advertising > Reset advertising identifier
2. Limit ad personalization (Very simple)
In theory, this should limit the amount of data collected by the companies. However, this study showed that we can end up sharing more data to companies if we limit ad personalization. But I will not go into the details of that.
Android: Go to Settings > Google > Ads > Opt Out of Personalized Advertising
iPhone: Go to settings > Privacy > Advertising > turn on ‘Limit Ad Tracking’
3. Review permissions (Very annoying)
Did you notice that apps these days have been asking for permissions before you carry out a simple task like importing a photo or opening a map? Yeah, it’s irritating but it’s crucial. This allows you to have greater control of your privacy. Not perfect, but at least it helps to a certain extent.
4. Use Brave browser to surf & use DuckDuckGo to search (Simple)
Brave (as opposed to Google Chrome) is a web browser which focuses a lot more on data privacy.
DuckDuckGo (as opposed to Google Search) is a search engine which distinguishes itself from other search engines by not profiling its users.
5. Educate yourself / your parents / your children on how the Internet works (Not so simple)
Education is the most powerful weapon. There are tons of articles and YouTube videos explaining how computers and network works; go read them up. However, if the content is too complex, especially for the older generations and the newcomers (aka your children), you can check out Potato Pirates -Enter The Spudnet. It’s a board game that’s developed to teach cybersecurity and internet piracy without computers. (...)

You can migrate your photos from Facebook directly to Google next year (and possibly other services)
If you feel like you don't want to spend much time on Facebook anymore but don't want to lose up to 15 years' worth of shared photos, good news: the company is rolling out a tool that will let you export your image library directly to Google Photos. Facebook announced the new tool in a corporate blog post today. The initiative springs from the Data Transfer Project, a collaboration among Apple, Facebook, Google, Microsoft, and Twitter to make some data transferable among those platforms.
If you're not keen on putting your images into Google Photos either, there will in theory be other platforms made available in the future. For now, Facebook did not specify what the platforms are, nor did the company provide a timetable.

Fed up with #Facebook and #Twitter? If so, Wikipedia co-founder Jimmy Wales hopes you'll join WT:Social, a new social media platform that promises not to run advertisements or sell user data.So why isn't he championing #Diaspora* / the #Federation? Hmmm...
WT:Social features a Facebook-like feed on which users can share news or other content. But unlike Facebook, whose algorithms prioritize content that's sponsored or receiving a lot of engagement, WT:Social simply shows new content first.
About 160,000 people have signed up for WT:Social since it launched in October. The platform is free to join, but new users are put on a wait-list, which can be instantly bypassed if you donate money. WT:Social hopes to survive only on donations.

In yet another letter seeking to pry accountability from Facebook, the chair of a British parliamentary committee has pressed the company over its decision to adopt a policy on political ad that supports flagrant lying.Why does Facebook even have to think about whether to ban politician's lies? Is it, perhaps because they don't think they can recognise them consistently?
In the letter Damian Collins, chair of the DCMS committee, asks the company to explain why it recently took the decision to change its policy regarding political ads — “given the heavy constraint this will place on Facebook’s ability to combat online disinformation in the run-up to elections around the world”.
