But if it gets this sort of thing wrong, I’m not convinced it is going to take over the world. If it does, we’re in trouble.

I'm hearing that Mozilla worked with Facebook to build this malware that they silently injected into our machines.
Reminds me of that episode of Batman where Batman teamed up with the Penguin to develop a more citizen-friendly system of crime and extortion so that the Penguin could stop having so many people murdered.
Oh, no, wait. That never happened because Batman knows who the fucking bad guys are.

Facebook prodal Netflixu soukromé zprávy uživatelů, stojí v soudních dokumentech
Dokumenty, které byly předány loni v dubnu v rámci rozsáhlé antimonopolní žaloby proti společnosti Meta, byly odtajněny 23. března. Stojí v nich překvapivé informace o vztahu mezi Netflixem a bývalým Facebookem.Karolína Fejtová (Refresher)
Meta is deploying chatbots powered by AI to impersonate humans in its discussion groups. The chatbots make stuff up—that is their nature. One invents a nonexistent child. Another pretends to have nonexistent merchandise. It shouldn’t be necessary to explain how vile and poisonous this is, but Casey Fiesler @cfiesler spells it out:

AI chatbots are intruding into online communities where people are trying to connect with other humans
People participate in online communities to share experiences and sympathy. AI chatbots that join the conversation can only pretend to offer either.The Conversation

Threads is the largest player so far to adopt #ActivityPub, and as @mike says, “The implications are huge.”
Why is Threads doing this? How is the team working with the community? How are they thinking about moderation, monetization and privacy in these early days and going forward?
In the newest episode of @dot_social, Mike digs in with @rklambo, Director of Product Management, and @pcottle, Software Engineer. Check it out in the fediverse on PeerTube or wherever you like to listen to podcasts. More details here:

Threads Has Entered the Building (and the Dot Social Podcast) - Flipboard
Threads is the largest player so far to adopt ActivityPub, which is needed for the open social web to scale. Why is Threads doing this?Mia Quagliarello (Flipboard)
If you’re on mastodon.social, I would highly recommend that you switch to a different server that protects its people instead of exposing them to a well-known bad actor like Facebook/Meta via Threads.
For alternatives, see: fedipact.veganism.social
And remember that Mastodon is not the fediverse. The fediverse is much more than just Mastodon and definitely more so than mastodon.social and Mastodon gGmbH.

"Facebook snooped on users’ Snapchat traffic in secret project, documents reveal"
Das ist vorsätzliches Umgehen von Sicherheitsmaßnahmen und eine illegale Überwachung/Spionage. Wer Meta/Facebook noch in irgendeiner Weise vertraut, der sollte sich gut überlegen, was Vertrauen für ihn bedeutet.
Reminder to anyone who said "Meta wouldn't do anything to Fediverse, we should let them join!"
Meta is now automatically muting all posts that mention PixelFed, so it's users can't read about any alternatives to its services.

Just remember, *Every time advocacy groups warn about tech/capitalism, believe them.* We don't make shit up, we use history of actions and facts to state our reasons to be against it.
If your instance isn't part of @FediPact please urge your admins to join or move to another instance who is.
And if you want proof, ask the general public what Jabber/XMPP was, and then ask what Google how they killed it.
EDIT: *Please* send support to the creator of the FediPact, @vantablack as she is homeless. This is possible because of them.

Zoom Layoffs Target DEI Amid a Broader Pullback on Diversity Initiatives 🙁
"Zoom is following in the footsteps of Google, Meta, and other corporate giants that have used layoffs to cut back on diversity, equity, and inclusion programs."
"... the website loads in a special browser built into the app, rather than your phone’s default browser. In 2022, privacy researcher Felix Krause found that Meta injects special “keylogging” JavaScript onto the website you’re visiting that allows the company to monitor everything you type and tap on, including passwords. Other apps including TikTok do the same thing."
What the hell?? This is so creepy.

Meta Wants You to Pay for Privacy so Poor People Are Deprived of Their Right to Privacy. Is This Even Legal?

The recent excitement surrounding Thread's arrival on the Fediverse is concerning. To understand why this is not a good idea, consider their economic interest in harvesting data, their poor moderation, and their manipulations. Nothing good can come from their federation. Don't roll out the red carpet for them.

🚨#BREAKING: EU Bans Personalized Ads on #Facebook & #Instagram 💪
Or: How the small country of Norway has brought down Meta
1. Impose a fine of €90.000 per day on Meta for personalized ads. ✅
2. Make the fine temporary and call on EU orgs to check whether Meat violates the EU GDPR privacy protection rules. ✅
3. EU threatens with fines of up to 4% of #Meta's global turnover. ✅

Privacy win: EU Bans Personalised Ads on Facebook and Instagram
Started with a fine of only $90,000 Norway is about to destroy Facebook's & Instagram's business model relying on personalized ads.Tutanota
The EU bans Meta's use of personal data for behavioural advertising.
The European Data Protection Board said Wednesday it had adopted a binding decision that will ban Facebook and Instagram owner Meta from using the personal data of users for targeted advertisements.
Earlier this year Norway imposed a ban on sending Facebook and Instagram users targeted advertisements based on their personal data.
Okay, what the heck?!
How can such a process be approved?

Norwegen greift durch – aufgrund anhaltender Verstöße gegen EU-Recht durch #Meta hat das Land ein dreimonatiges Verbot für personalisierte Werbung auf Facebook und Instagram erlassen. Das Verbot ist ein bedeutender Schritt, um besser zu verstehen und zu kontrollieren, wie Big Tech unsere persönlichen Daten nutzt. Hier könnt ihr mehr dazu erfahren: netzpolitik.org/2023/datenschu…

Oh my God. PLEASE do not get on Meta's new competitor for Twitter.
It harvests mucho data including our health data.
You cannot opt out.
#Meta has already taken info from a Facebook Messenger chat about seeking #abortion in a hostile state, and turned it over for prosecution.
If you're #trans or might ever need to end a pregnancy PLEASE do not use #Threads.
Boost this. Protect your damn friends.

#Meta is having a very bad year. The latest decision (issued by the #CJEU yesterday in Meta Platforms Inc, et al., v. Bundeskartellamt, C-C252/21) adds to their woes, but more importantly, I anticipate it will force us all to re-evaluate #processing, #lawful bases, special category data, and #inferences derived from that data.
In my article, I explore the case in detail, as well as some hypotheses on the impact of this decision broadly to #BigTech, with examples.
But I'm curious to hear your thoughts and observations. Am I being a Cassandra? Overly pessimistic? Completely overthinking this? What implications am I missing?
I'll note here (even though I didn't mention it in the article) that this may also portend the effective death of the One Stop Shop mechanism, which is already on shaky ground after the whole spat between the #DPC and other regulators. Who needs Ireland if competition authorities can also raise issues under the GDPR?
