We’re moving to a new city and the only community I can find for it is on #Facebook.
So, as much as I don’t want to, I decide to make a Facebook account again just to access this community…
(This is why communities must not be locked behind the walled gardens of surveillance capitalists. But even if we create fedi/Small Web alternatives, we still need to let the existing ones know they exist somehow.)
…Anyway, long story short, I can’t – they’ve #blacklisted my name :)

🚨#BREAKING: EU Bans Personalized Ads on #Facebook & #Instagram 💪

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.
Mainstream social media and messaging apps (#Facebook, #WhatsApp, #Instagram etc) are a nightmare for our personal data and freedoms.
We have #FreeSoftware replacements for most of these services but maintaining these services has recurring cost and effort.
diasp.in is a community project supported by volunteers. We offer #diaspora, #matrix and #xmpp services.
If we don't find enough volunteers by October 31st, we will be forced to shut it down.

Just as suddenly realized I really don't care...
There's not really a right way to be social on #Mastodon. I can just talk about whatever and at least someone will show appreciation for it.
My relatives not looking over my shoulder at everything I say also helps too.
Meta thinks your #privacy is for sale.
Would you pay 160 euros per year to Facebook for respecting your right to privacy?

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.

oh, here's some JUICY rumored details about meta's plans for the fediverse
tl;dr "Meta will only federate with select larger instances from the beginning. There will be contracts which also provide for financial compensation for the instance owners."
can't entirely verify their validity but it's still worth posting just in case
