The #CSAM clusterfuck just became even more shitty:
Dutch researcher Danny Mekić has looked at #advertising data from #Twitter & says that the @EU_Commission's #DGHome has used #SurveillanceAds based on prohibited data categories to target people with #disinformation about the #ChatControl proposal.
#YlvaJohansson's department specifically targeted people in member states that had been critical of her proposal but excluded people who are likely to value #privacy.

От себя тоже поприветствую всех пришедших и дам несколько советов.
✅ Заполните профиль и поставьте аватарку. Неплохой идеей будет указать там ваши увлечения или вид деятельности.
✅ Напишите что-нибудь: приветствие, пост о себе (тут используют тег #introduction
✅ Листайте ваши локальные и глобальные ленты, и подписывайтесь на тех, кто интересен - тут нет алгоритма, который будет подсовывать вам контент. Набрать свою ленту нужно будет самостоятельно. Также возможно вам будет полезно зайти в настройки и установить языки контента, которые вы хотите видеть в ленте.
✅ Общайтесь с людьми.
✅ Не бросайте как только Twitter опять даст заднюю - дайте свободным соцсетям шанс, они могут вас удивить.
Эти простые советы могут помочь вам не заскучать и заинтересовать других людей подписаться на вас.

Lest anyone doubt that Twitter was idiotic enough to release code that would cause a race condition and result in its own users executing a DDOS attack on it, here's the network console readout from Firefox showing all the network requests blasting away.
Of course I immediately closed out my connection because I'm a good person. Oh, but it's the weekend and Evil Sheldon is in control so I kept the party going for a while since Twitter insisted on it.

Why we're here and not at the hellsite.
#Twitter is expected to end its participation in the EU's code of practice of disinformation in the coming days.
The code of practice is a voluntary rulebook that contains measures meant to counter online disinformation.

> In a pretty meaningful way, “speech and reach” is the model of #Twitter today. You just don’t get to choose your recommendation/discovery algorithm.
(…)
> The only way to effectively fight harassment in a social network is effective, contextual moderation. The Fediverse showed that having communities, which embody that context and whose admins and moderators focus on protecting their members, is pretty damn effective here. This is exactly what BS is not doing.

tl;dr:
- #BlueSky seems designed to get secondarily centralized in the "reach" layer (as they call it)
- moderation is an afterthought

Yes, twitter really did mockingly label the Canadian national broadcaster CBC as "69% Government-funded Media".
Similar broadcasters like the BBC and Australia's ABC surely have to follow CBC and stop using twitter, now that its toxic clown of an owner has shown what contempt he has for them.
If he is prepared to use his platform to paint childish graffiti on their accounts, I can't see why any serious entity would want to have anything to do with twitter.
