Wenn ich verhindern kann, dass irgendwer – egal wer – meine Rufnummer oder E-Mail-Adresse in seinem Adressbuch speichert und dieses auslesen lässt, weil er #Meta bzw #Facebook nutzt, ist alles bestens. 💾 Kann ich nicht? Tja … 🤮


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 :)

O hai, Mark! :Wiseau:


🚨#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. ✅

BTW: #Tutanota comes with zero ads, but maximum privacy! 😎🥰


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.

Poked my head in on #Facebook this morning. Suddenly realized I have no idea how to social media anymore, what I should talk about.
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.

To continue my thoughts on why I left the #Apple ecosystem. It's the same reason why I left #Twitter #Facebook for #Mastodon. Why I embraced #IndieWeb and now blog the POSSE/PESOS way.
I realised that Apple products, shiny and high quality as they are, was trapping me in their ecosystem. I hated having to upgrade just because they deemed my device "too old". I hate having to buy a new thingamajic when my old dongle worked just fine - just because Apple removed a port. 1/3


1. PRISM

A program under which the NSA collects internet communications from various US companies such as #Google #facebook #twitter under the FISA Amendments Act of 2008 to turn over any data that match court-approved search terms.

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

People need to understand.

»Facebook collects intimate customer data from over 100 European pharmacies«

Wenn man die DSGVO-Bußgelder korrekt und konsequent umgesetzt hätte, dann wäre Facebook heute vermutlich längst pleite. So schlittern wir aber von einem Datenskandal zum nächsten. 🤷‍♂️

IF this model is so good, how come #Facebook hasn't been using it to describe images for #blind people?

#Meta's Segment Anything Model—SAM, for short—can respond to text prompts or user clicks to isolate specific objects within an image, according to a company blog post.

The internet really does bring people together. Last year I got a message on a platform I hate (#facebook #messenger) and usually ignore, but something told me to check this one out, so I did. It ended up being worthwhile, as I collaborated with Andrew Nicholas (AKA Born 74) on a really cool #JazzFusion #EP for #Truethoughts coming out on Apr 13.

L'outil #Mobilizon de l'association lyonnaise #Framasoft est une bonne alternative éthique aux événements #Facebook. Je suggère à celles et ceux qui voudraient organiser des mouvements de grève, des blocages et toutes sortes de manifestations contre la politique de notre gouvernement de s'en emparer sans attendre !

Imagine Zuckerberg looking at the train wreck that is Twitter and thinking, “I’d better do what Elon’s doing.”

#Twitter #Facebook


#Facebook following #Twitter in charging users for account verification.


I feel like this is more of a "#Facebook problem" than a "me problem"

Stop making posts I would care about look the same as #ads. That's a design decision you can change, fuckers.


Oh Lovely! This means our #private data could be uploaded to Facebook and Google whether or not we want that data shared.

Shopify President Harley Finkelstein says the company's Audiences marketing tool, which uploads customer data to Meta and Google's ad platforms, is a key focus.

Back to #Firefox I go! Multi-Account Containers are a killer #privacy feature that only Firefox (and maybe derivatives) has access to.

There's some helper add-ons to further silo #Facebook, #Twitter, and #Google. (That said, I use my own containers for Google to split my accounts)

#Meta kapiert den #Datenschutz nicht

Der Konzern um #Facebook #Insta & Co. sammelt Kontaktdaten (#Handynummer #Mail Adresse) von Nicht(!)-Nutzern - ohne erkennbare #Rechtsgrundlage 👎

#Löschen lassen geht, aber Meta sagt: „In bestimmten Fällen müssen wir deine #Kontaktinformationen länger aufbewahren, einschließlich nach deiner Aufforderung an uns, sie zu löschen.“

No way! 🫣

Meta has created a tool that lets you check if they’ve scraped your phone number or email address from someone else’s contacts list.

It also lets you remove and block your phone number or email from their database. It’s hidden away in one of their help articles:

@aral It’s fascinating that every time #Facebook is discovered to be doing something nasty, #TikTok seems to have found a way to come out even worse.
