Flipboard<p>“The Fediverse Isn’t the Future. It’s the Present We’ve Been Denied.” Here’s yet another brilliant feature by <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@Daojoan" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>Daojoan</span></a></span>. “The fediverse won’t succeed just because it’s better. It will succeed if and only if people choose it. If they reject the idea that being trapped in someone else’s ecosystem is just the cost of existing online. If they stop believing that “free” means surrendering ownership of your own connections, your own history, your own data. If they see that the internet wasn’t built to be a factory for engagement metrics and AI-generated content farms. It was built to connect us, not silo us to pad a wealth-extremist’s bank account,” she writes. </p><p><a href="https://www.joanwestenberg.com/the-fediverse-isnt-the-future-its-the-present-weve-been-denied" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">joanwestenberg.com/the-fediver</span><span class="invisible">se-isnt-the-future-its-the-present-weve-been-denied</span></a></p><p><a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fediverse</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/ActivityPub" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ActivityPub</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/DigitalSovereignty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DigitalSovereignty</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/JoanWestenberg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>JoanWestenberg</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/OpenSocialWeb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OpenSocialWeb</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/WalledGardens" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WalledGardens</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Newstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Newstodon</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/NewstodonFriday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NewstodonFriday</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/FollowFriday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FollowFriday</span></a></p>

Flipboard Tech Desk<p>Who owns your social media accounts? If you're on X, Elon Musk argues that it's the platform. In an objection filed on Monday, lawyers argued that its terms of service (TOS) prevent former Infowars owner Alex Jones' accounts from being sold off without X's approval. Jones' assets are being liquidated to pay the families of Sandy Hook victims after they won a defamation case against him. Satirical site The Onion purchased Infowars with social media accounts forming part of the deal. X's team wrote in Monday's objection: “The Trustee now seeks to contravene X Corp.’s TOS by improperly selling or otherwise transferring the X Accounts (which neither Jones nor his bankruptcy estate own) to a third party."
