With the US acting more and more like a rogue state, it's time to impose your own personal sanctions.

Bite the bullet. Stop using Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, Google, Meta and ChatGPT - where you can. Hit them where it hurts and burst that AI bubble.

Most of the barriers come down to inconvenience.

„Nein, wenn es Dir wichtig wäre,
Dich mit mir zu verabreden, würdest Du mich - insbesondere angesichts der Weltlage - nicht dazu bringen wollen, das im Kaffeekränzchen Deiner #Nazibar (#facebook #meta #whatsapp) zu organisieren.“
Meine Güte.

All the people decrying #Wayland and #SystemD are the same #Stallmanist [#GNU "#AGPLv3-only!" extremist] folks that refused to do it better themselves but instead choose to enshittify and toxify the #FLOSS community.

• THIS is so fecking true!

With #meta blocking stories about the protests and strike in #Minnessota, it is a reminder of why platforms like the fediverse are important. This is a video of the clergy protest at the MSP airport today, passed along by a colleague, at which 97 clergy were arrested.

Threads rolls out ads to all users worldwide

Meta on Wednesday announced it’s expanding ads on Threads to all users globally. The expansion, which starts next week, will be gradual, the company says, noting it may take months for the full rollout to complete.

之前 IG 是公開個人檔案，可選要維持私人無數據、或轉換成專業有數據的品牌模式⋯是說 #Meta 會保護個人隱私和數據，似乎漸漸成為公開的笑話了？🤷

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?

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.
