Prediction markets sell themselves as truth engines. Put money on outcomes, strip away noise, and let prices reveal reality. The Venezuela strike exposes the cost of that logic. When someone can profit from a covert military operation before the public knows it happened, markets stop forecasting the future and start rewarding proximity to power. This isn’t information discovery. It’s monetized access.
The political problem is simple and corrosive: greed gets institutionalized. When insiders are encouraged to leak or act early because there’s money on the table, restraint becomes irrational. Journalism delays publication to protect lives. Markets pay you to move first and ask questions never.
The ethical problem runs deeper. Prediction platforms don’t just reflect reality; they reshape incentives inside governments, corporations, and security institutions. They quietly ask every insider: do your job, or place your bet?
And the security problem may be the most dangerous of all. Classified plans, military actions, and diplomatic moves become market signals. Prices move faster than accountability. Risk is no longer mitigated; it’s priced.
Efficient markets are not moral systems. When everything becomes tradable, even secrecy turns into a commodity. And when insiders win, the public doesn’t gain clarity. It absorbs the risk.
TL;DR
🧠 Prediction markets reward access to secrets
⚡ Greed displaces ethics and restraint
🎓 Security decisions become financial signals
🔍 Truth priced by markets is not the same as a public good

The data isn't "deleted" if it's possible to "undelete" it 🙄

🚨 BREAKING: Microsoft just renamed Office to "Microsoft 365 Copilot app"
All users are now "AI users"
And this will lead to higher prices: https://tuta.com/blog/microsoft-365-price-increase
RE: https://mastodon.social/@Tutanota/115847232165161059
Microsoft 365 has not been renamed “Microsoft 365 Copilot.” ⚠️
The mobile app’s name changed last year to reflect AI features, but the core suite remains Microsoft 365. 🖥️
Copilot is an added AI feature, not a rebrand. Users should note the distinction for subscriptions and privacy. 🔒

However, there are several Fediverse projects that offer such options. Hubzilla, (streams), forte, Bonfire. So there are ways to use the Fediverse with such options. Perhaps it is due to Mastodon's dominance that people are unaware of Fediverse projects that offer more privacy protection than Mastodon.
