A federated internet is forming. It's built on open protocols like ActivityPub & connects services like Mastodon, Threads, Pixelfed, Tumblr, Wordpress and more into a connected network known as the fediverse. And everyone from tech enthusiasts to Mark Zuckerberg and Jack Dorsey seem to want in.

Don’t worry, the military-industrial complex wants to control it, too. Atlantic Council: Collective Security in a Federated World (PDF)

And don’t worry, the military industrial complex and corporate social media platforms are really one undifferentiated thing: Facebook Partners With Hawkish Atlantic Council, a NATO Lobby Group, to “Protect Democracy”

And once they control the media, no one will ever again have to worry about learning the truth when military and/or police commit war crimes like genocide, or murder protesters at demonstrations, or when the cops murder people for not having the correct skin color, and so on.
