@evan@cosocial.ca @AngelicAura@pol.social @Flipboard@flipboard.social @mallory@techpolicy.social @tomcoates@me.dm Facebook & Automattic, both companies well known for doing exactly that, which have excitedly done exactly that when getting their hands on something before, are part of SWF. Even if that is not SWF’s intentions, Facebook or Automattic are likely to abuse their position to make it happen. I’ve heard concerns about IFTAS too, but I don’t know enough about them to tell, so I’ll trust people that know more about them than me.
@evan@cosocial.ca Isn’t IFTAS in strong support of using blocklists to silence or hide the existence of LGBT people without the knowledge of the people using those blocklists though? That does not sound awesome. Or do they not understand the harm that has been caused by the blocklisting project they’re supporting? Maybe they don’t realize the evil it’s being used for? I completely understand if they didn’t know, the person running it is one of those super charismatic people that are good at hiding abuse.
