Happy to provide detailed documentation to NFB for escalation to Meta. This needs human review from people who understand assistive technology, and it needs to be escalated to Meta's accessibility and legal teams.
How are blind users supposed to access Threads if screen readers trigger automatic suspensions?

Rotten to the core. Ban Meta.
"The company has petitioned the judge to exclude certain research studies and articles around social media and youth mental health; any mention of a recent high-profile case involving teen suicide and social media content; and any references to Meta’s financial resources, the personal activities of employees, and Mark Zuckerberg’s time as a student at Harvard University."

From the depths of the Internet:
"In January 2023, Bright Data was sued by Meta Platforms for harvesting and selling data scraped from Facebook and Instagram. Meta previously hired Bright Data to scrape data from other websites."

The U.S. Federal Trade Commission said it will appeal the November ruling in favor of Meta in its antitrust case against the social media giant.
@AssociatedPress reports on the case that could have forced the tech giant to spin off Instagram and WhatsApp: https://flip.it/15-BOp
It's official, the #Metaverse failed!
Meanwhile I don't even know 1 person who ever visited it 😅
Not one(!) after:
#Meta "...had funneled some $73 billion into Reality Labs. To put that into context, you’d have to spend $1 million per day for 200 years to match that kind of spending."

What the fuck was facebook spending $70,000,000,000 on for metaverse? SEVENTY BILLION! For some absolutely shit N64 era graphics.
That's more than every PS2 game combined (including marketing).
Just what where they spending all that money on?
UK #gambling regulator accuses #Meta of lying about its struggle to spot illegal ads - https://www.theregister.com/2026/01/20/uk_gambling_comission_criticizes_meta/ "Labels Zuck’s ad library ‘a window into criminality’ and the Social Network as ‘happy to turn a blind eye’" so do something
Suomen Akateemisten Naisten Liitto #SANL kertoi tänään sähköpostitse, että Meta on estänyt liiton tiedotustilit.
"Meta ei ole kertonut syytä estolle eikä ole antanut mahdollisuutta korjata mahdollista erhettä. Traficomin mukaan Meta rikkoo toiminnallaan EU:n digipalveluasetusta. Valitettavasti on kuitenkin vähän, mitä Traficomin mukaan voimme yhdysvaltalaiselle digijätille. Tiedämme jo, että Meta ei salli nykyään sellaisia maksullisia mainoksia, joissa mainitaan esimerkiksi sana "tasa-arvo". Tällainen mainos Liitolta hylättiin eston alla."
In light of Bluesky’s myriad concerning decisions, I’m finding myself spending increasing amounts of time on Mastodon. I wonder if others feel the same.
Similarly, I’m enjoying the discovery of new voices, and feel my interest in those pledging continued loyalty to Meta and/or Musk is beginning to feel strained. Which I also feel might not be so uncommon.

Ao ler essa matéria é que acabo de ficar sabendo que também parecem estar para liberar nomes de usuário como #XMPP (cujos servidores foram aproveitados pelo serviço privativo) sempre suportou, como se fosse novidade. Nesse caso, acho que será mais um passo da merdificação, dessa vez contra as telefônicas que estimularam esse monopólio ao não contabilizarem dados transmitidos para ele. Quando a geral que praticamente só tem adquirido é mal mantido números para esse fim se vir livre dessa obrigação, vamos ver se haverá reação dessas empresas. Tarde demais: Big Tech wins.

“#Meta met 38 times with MEPs from the ECR, the Patriots and the Europe of Sovereign Nations Group.
#Google has also not shied away from meeting far-right MEPs. A few days after the launch of the digital omnibus, the Head of Public Affairs of Google France joined a dinner party in Strasbourg hosted by six French MEPs from the far right Rassemblement National.”

This is a brutally honest and intense reflection by a close friend of mine, outlining why she quit Meta and retired from Tech altogether.
