Don’t use #Meta products anymore, but I have in the past. Today, I got an email from the company, and this was the first sentence: “The setting to disconnect your off-Meta activity is going away.” Because…of course it is. This continued #enshittification of the #internet in general and social media specifically is predatory corporate BS - and #TechBros are making it harder and harder to opt out - without taking drastic steps. #SurveillanceCapitalism is predicated on collecting our data to use against us in the marketplace, and lately…to use against us in the political arena as well. It didn’t have to be this way. Thank goodness for the #fediverse, for #FOSS and for those hardy souls who continue to resist #CorporateGreed and #CorporateTerrorism.

Entschädigung von 5000 Euro : Dem Gericht zufolge ist durch die Business-Tools jeder Nutzer für #Meta “zu jeder Zeit individuell erkennbar, sobald er sich auf den Dritt-#Webseiten bewegt oder eine #App benutzt hat, auch wenn er sich nicht über den Account von #Instagram und #Facebook angemeldet hat”. Die Daten sendet Meta Ireland “ausnahmslos weltweit in Drittstaaten, insbesondere in die USA”, wo Meta die Daten “in für den Nutzer unbekanntem Maß” auswertet https://www.linux-magazin.de/ausgaben/2025/09/recht/

🤯 Instagram is testing new iOS push notifications that include a profile photo. Each time the notification is shown on your screen, it triggers a GET request to fetch that image, letting Meta track every on-screen impression.

The app still misuses push notifications to send detailed device analytics about the device (uptime, battery, volume, locale, timezone, memory, CPU, etc.)
