Neo-Rodneyite: Yap Szn ✍🏿📖 on Nostr: I don't talk too much about what happened after the Google Photos to my friend ...

I don't talk too much about what happened after the Google Photos to my friend because it's no different from digital violence. But it's something that *shouldn't* have to be discussed in order to give people paused. Two journalists asked me. I've worked for three years to keep her identity hidden (deleting her name and referencing online). Her having to switch colleges all because I put a fucking photo online that the company still refuses to take any concrete accountability about.

Some of my frustration is definitely personal. And since tech is personal, it's been very hard to watch people who defend this stuff because of "convenience". The way tech has disconnected people from empathy is so frustrating and so American, I sometimes regret even saying shit. It's not like Google would even do anything (the G+ head was the only one from the company who reached out).
