Meta is in the news for all the wrong reasons today. It's probably too much to ask Meta platform users to abandon ship.
The LA Times story is paywalled. Here's an alternative version.
"The smart glasses users, some in California, allege the gadget captured footage of themselves and family members undressing, going to the bathroom, having sex and entering passwords. In some cases, the people said they weren’t aware the camera-equipped glasses were recording."
Lawsuit claims Meta glasses captured and shared intimate images without users' consent https://www.msn.com/en-us/technology/software/meta-glasses-captured-and-shared-intimate-images-without-users-consent-lawsuit-claims/ar-AA2cuws1 #Meta #surveillance #privacy
"The sudden mass suspension of Instagram accounts has led to fears of brigading against demonstrators."
Wired: Meta’s Copyright System Is Being Weaponized Against Albanian Protesters https://www.wired.com/story/metas-copyright-system-is-being-weaponized-against-albanian-protesters/ @WIRED #Meta #democracy #technofascism #censorship
Quite apart from the ethical problems of using #AI and the personal risk of letting it loose in your private affairs like this, don't you get a sense of unease about who's doing this? #Meta already wants to insert itself unnecessarily into all human communication and shoulder-surf without consent on all activity on the Web. Isn't that more than enough already? Should people be letting Meta take an active role in their finances and daily lives as well?
My own disclaimer is that I've configured #Blokada on my phone to block all Meta properties at DNS level, and I moved to a Fedi instance that blocks Threads. That shows you how little I trust Meta. We're not going to reach agreement here, but I hope we can still have a civilised and fruitful conversation.

Top artificial intelligence researchers have warned that the technology AI companies are building is becoming a risk to humanity, but the problem, they said, is the companies are bad at controlling the systems. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2026/09/17/tech/why-tech-companies-ai/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #tech #us #china #tech #ai #openai #alphabet #amazon #meta #microsoft #anthropic #chatgpt #claude #moonshot #deepseek #chatbots #bigtech #tech #nvidia
RE: https://indieweb.social/@alineblankertz/117284893022399744
Habe 2019 Facebook verlassen, dann auch alle anderen algorithmischen Konzernmedien („Social Media“) wie Meta und X. Und kann es nur empfehlen!
1. Die digitale Thymotisierung & Verdummung durch Sucht-Algorithmen betrifft auch Erwachsene. Meine Lesezeit & Lebensqualität hat sich seit dem Abschied deutlich erhöht!
2. Diese Konzerne bieten keine fairen „Plattformen“, sondern algorithmisch verzerrte Reichweitenlügen. Über #Mastodon, #Blog & #Podcasts erreiche ich viel mehr & vor allem wirklich interessierte Menschen.
3. Die Demokratinnen & Demokraten der Europäischen Union (EU) sollten sich nicht von potentiell feindseligen Akteuren aus den USA, China oder Russland abhängig machen. Nein.
Hier aktuell zu #FaceBook , #Meta & sogar #WhatsApp :
„Kein Facebook, kein Instagram und auch kein WhatsApp: Der Bürgermeister von Tieschen, Martin Weber (SPÖ), ist auf allen drei Meta-Plattformen dauerhaft gesperrt. In einem Facebook-Posting hatte Weber zuvor Donald Trump mit der AfD verglichen.“
Gerichtsurteil: Meta muss Betrugsanzeigen auf Facebook und Instagram vorab löschen
Das Landgericht Frankfurt verpflichtet Meta dazu, betrügerische Anzeigen und Fakeprofile eigenständig herauszufiltern. Die Ausrede als reiner technischer Dienstleister greift nicht mehr.

Court Ruling: Meta Must Proactively Delete Scam Ads on Facebook and Instagram
The Frankfurt Regional Court has ordered Meta to independently filter out fraudulent ads and fake profiles. Hiding behind the excuse of being a mere technical service provider is no longer valid.

I'm curious. Do you still use #facebook ? I feel very isolated without it as a few people I'd like to keep in touch with use it nearly exclusively. It's frustrating because I want to leave.#socialmedia #meta #privacy
