Google is removing Fediverse apps from the Play Store because they can be used to access hate speech
A growing number of mobile apps meant to access the Fediverse are being removed from the Google Play Store. According to user reports, recently removed apps include Husky, Subway Tooter, and Fedilab. In a nutshell, a Fediverse is any combination of interconnected servers that can be used for web publishing and can manifest in something like Mastodon. Apps like Subway Tooter allow users to access Mastodon content which is hosted on individual servers in the Fediverse. The operators of the servers in the Fediverse (and often in the Internet at large) are responsible for moderating hate speech, not the operators of the apps used to access said servers.
Despite this established web browser model, The official reason given by Google for the removal of Fediverse apps is that these apps can be used to access servers which have microblogs or other content which are dedicated to hate speech. Newsflash: Mobile apps like Google Chrome can be used to access the exact same hate speech. That is the web browser model. Even out of the browser world that can take you to servers located in unknown corners of the world, such speech can be found on other front and center social media platforms such as Twitter and Facebook.

paulfree14@todon.nl - I want to remind that #EUnomia is a research project funded with around 3 millions, also aiming to investigate the #fediverse.
companies leading #projectEUnomia are also involved in:
- mass surveilience
- military and law enforcment
- developing strategies and tools countering mass movements
- countering local journalism with clickbait
@Gargron is/was on their pay check with at least €63,290.
several month ago I made some research about them and puplished it here:

there's also an easy to remember shortlink available: https://frama.link/eunomia

dansup@mastodon.social - I feel incredibly blessed that Pixelfed has grown so much over the past year.
Total users, posts and active users have doubled, and our project is among the top 5 most popular.
Though we haven’t had our viral moment like Mastodon or PeerTube, I’m confident that when we do, we’ll be ready.
I look forward to the next 3 years and beyond! 😁 #pixelfed #activityPub #Fediverse

Meta plans on joining the fediverse – the responses – The Fediverse Report -
How to Kill a Decentralised Network (such as the Fediverse)
You cannot buy a decentralised network!
But there’s another way : make it irrelevant. That’s exactly what Google did with XMPP
#Fediverse #ActivityPub #Meta
#Facebook #Google #XMPP
This week, news got out that Meta is making a plan to build a decentralized text-based social network. It would be a competitor to Twitter that uses ActivityPub, and would thus be part of the fediverse. The news broke on the website MoneyControl, who saw a copy of a product brief. A few hours later, the news got confirmed by Meta to the newsletter Platformer. Both articles have all the details and the best analysis, so if you want to get in-depth information check those out. The short summary is as followsHow to Kill a Decentralised Network (such as the Fediverse)
