As Facebook Abandons Fact-Checking, It’s Also Offering Bonuses for Viral Content
—

Meta decided to stop working with U.S. fact-checkers at the same time as it’s revamping a program to pay bonuses to creators with high engagement numbers, potentially pouring accelerant on the kind of false posts the company once policed.

Facebook Boosts Viral Content as It Drops Fact-Checking

^ProPublica

If you wanted to use #Stripe for payments, well then… don't.

They're very happy to invite the fascist Mark Zuckerberg to their conference.

Ok, ich fasse zusammen: die ganzen Internetversteher*innen sind wegen Musk von X weg zu #Threads, und ziehen jetzt wegen #Zuckerberg weiter zu #Bluesky. Darunter viele Firmen, Unis, Politiker*innen und Journalist*innen.

Ich habe da Fragen, vor allem: was ist an dem Konzept „durchgeknallte Tech-Milliardäre“ so schwer zu verstehen, dass man denselben Fehler drei mal macht?

Und tut es wirklich so weh, einfach mal auf der richtigen Seite der Geschichte (#fediverse) zu stehen? 🤷🏻‍♂️

#Zuckerberg on #JoeRogan’s show (no link because #FuckZuck, find the clip yourself):

“Probably in 2025, Meta, as well as other companies, will have an AI that can effectively be a mid-level engineer that you have at your company that can write code. In the beginning that will be very expensive to run, then at some point a lot of the code we have in our apps will be built by AI engineers instead of people engineers. In my opinion that will augment the people working on it. My view is that in the future people will be so much more creative and freed up to do crazy things.”

I state again: to most capitalists pouring money into #AI, THE CORE VALUE PROPOSITION FOR AI IS DISPLACEMENT OF HUMAN LABOR. What capitalists want are slaves that replace workers.

Robots have replaced a lot of *repetitive* human work, and capitalists have hoarded all the profits from their increased productivity. Now they want AI to replace *intelligent* human work, and capitalists want to hoard those profits too.

Posted a joke to Threads about 'being able to post any old shit on here now that there's no fact checkers', and within 20 minutes, all of my Meta accounts - Facebook, Instagram, Threads - had been suspended.

Hurray for free speech!

Please share this around so I can finallly go to sleep 😫. I know people wanted to see it.

Servers not listed just had no readily-available data for me to grab.

Meine Damen und Herren. Auf dem ersten Bild sehen Sie die Daten, die die App #Threads von Ihnen speichern und einem Profil zuordnen möchte. Das zweite Bild zeigt die App #Mastodon und welche Daten dort erhoben werden. 👇

More than € 1 billion in fines in one year: The EU is finally fighting against #Meta's abuse of user privacy!

We have a suggestion for #Zuckerberg: Do not collect data in the first place.

Huge win for privacy: Facebook tracking is illegal in Europe!

EU privacy regulators say Facebook and Instagram must not force users to agree to tracking by putting this requirement into their terms. This business model is illegal according to the GDPR.
