hard to think of a better example of "you may not believe in class war, but billionaires know they're in one" than this

Leave it to France to take the lead in telling America to eat their salty gallic assholes
Why France just dumped Microsoft Teams and Zoom for homegrown videoconferencing
Aiming to replace all US videoconferencing services by 2027, the deployment is the EU's latest policy move in support of digital sovereignty. And there's more to come.

I deleted TikTok back when the Oracle purchase was announced but if you've still got it, you GOTTA dump it. Especially for trans folks. It straight up says in the new TOS that they--Oracle, the company that has active ties to the Trump admin--are monitoring and documenting trans and NB users.
According to its new privacy policy, TikTok now collects more data on its users, including their precise location, after majority ownership officially switched to a group based in the US. www.wired.com/story/tiktok...

As you read the news today, watch who phrases the news as an "illegal invasion and regime change" versus "bringing democracy". It'll tell you everything you need to know about the news source you're reading, and frankly should decide whether you ever read them seriously again.
