“'We make body image issues worse for one in three teen girls,' Facebook researchers wrote in an internal 2019 presentation. Still, a year after that research was shared within the company, Facebook began studying ways to entice more preteens to use its platforms."

"In 2021, Frances Haugen, a Facebook product manager-turned-whistleblower, revealed that the company had produced studies showing it was aware of the harmful social effects of its platforms, particularly on children. Among the revelations from the Facebook Files was internal research showing that its algorithms had promoted eating disorders and self-harm to impressionable young users."

"This is the pattern that connects the addiction case to everything else Zuckerberg has done. It is not negligence. Negligence implies you did not know. What the trial documents describe is something more deliberate: a company that knew, weighed the cost of knowing against the revenue of ignoring, and chose revenue. Every. Single. Time!"

"James Steyer, founder and CEO of Common Sense Media, put it plainly after the verdict: the companies 'buried their own research showing children were being harmed, and used kids and society as guinea pigs in massive, uncontrolled, and wildly profitable experiments.' That is not an activist’s hyperbole. That is a summary of what the documents showed."

The team, MRS Research, is part of Meta Recommendation Systems, which runs the home feeds in Meta's apps, and the unit has already drawn talent from TikTok and Amazon. MRS builds the algorithms that determine what kinds of content people see and works closely with the company's Ads division.

The Irish Data Protection Commission, which is responsible for most major technology companies ( #Meta, #Google, #Apple, #OpenAI, #Microsoft,...) actually imposes fines in just 0.26% of the cases it handles. And even when a fine is imposed, the money is almost never collected. 🤡

Linux mit systemd oder ohne?

Vielleicht ist es nur ein Sturm im Wasserglas, vielleicht aber auch ein erster Schritt in eine politisch ganz üble Richtung. Es geht darum, dass systemd, eine in vielen Linux-Distributionen enthaltene Kernkomponente, gerade einen Speicherplatz für ein Geburtsdatum erhalten hat. Systemd wird von der amerikanischen Firma RedHat (seit 2018 Tochter von IBM) gepflegt. Hat sich die von RedHat finanzierte FOSS dem politischen Druck gebeugt? Der Verdacht liegt nahe, dass diese Änderung in systemd auf die Lobby-Arbeit von META für eine verpflichtende Alterskontrolle zurückgeht. Bislang führt systemd oder auch Linux selbst keine

Alt...

Cartoon showing a vineyard. Instead of vines, there are rows of people standing looking at their smartphones. A robot is harvesting their brains, picking them out of their skulls and dropping them into a cargo bed. Another robot is stamping all the brains into a fine mush in a giant wooden barrel. The barrel has a logo of a golden shield with a crown above it, with the logos of Meta, X, Amazon, YouTube and Google on it, and the text ‘Château Big Tech'. A worker is filling bottles from a tap at the bottom of the barrel. Another man, resembling Mark Zuckerberg, is standing a a table with bottles and glasses on it. The white cloth draped across the table has the text 'Data for sale'. A costumer is sampling a glass.

A 20-year-old from Chico, California, accomplished what Senate hearings, congressional subcommittees, and parent groups have tried and failed to do for years. She persuaded a jury that Instagram and YouTube were designed to keep kids hooked, and that this was done on purpose. The jury awarded $6 million in damages, with Meta responsible for 70%. What really changed the case was internal emails showing the company knew what it was doing and kept going. That is the most troubling part, not just the verdict.

There is something important that has not been said clearly enough: this case was not about content. It was about design. The algorithm, the endless scroll, and the timing of notifications were at the center. For 30 years, Section 230 has protected these companies by treating them as neutral pipes. Now, this jury decided the pipe itself is the problem.

Hundreds of similar lawsuits are waiting in line. The first federal trial is set for June in San Francisco. For the first time, Zuckerberg took the stand, which probably means we will see more moments like this. Meanwhile, the plaintiff’s attorney used a jar of M&Ms to show the jury what $415 billion looks like. Was it corny? Maybe. But the jury got the point.

Tech companies have survived every regulatory threat by waiting them out. But juries are not as easy to influence.

It's not meant to do it all. But it's a good first step for some people, it's available now, and it's free.

So, this is far worse than I imagined. Because #Meta demanded to link #Facebook accounts to #Instagram last year, if your Instagram is gone, you won't be able to login to your Facebook either because it wants to be verified via Instagram—the two-factor authentication is useless.

Instagram's very high false positive, and not offering a channel to appeal the wrongful suspension, cut me off from not just the #Filipino community in #Threads but also from my network, friends, and relatives in Facebook.

The hard truth: the #Philippines and the Filipino people are at the mercy of Meta, in particular, Instagram.

yahoo news | Trump Appoints Mark Zuckerberg to His New Science and Technology Advisory Board....

On March 25, 2026 President Donald Trump announced the first 13 members of the revived President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST), a body that offers the White House ideas on science and technology policy but does not draft legislation. Among the appointees was Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, joining a roster that also includes Nvidia founder Jensen Huang, Oracle’s executive chairman Larry Ellison, Google co‑founder Sergey Brin, Andreessen Horowitz partner Marc Andreessen, AMD chief Lisa Su, and Dell founder Michael Dell. The council, co‑chaired by White House AI and crypto lead David Sacks and Office of Science and Technology Policy head Michael Kratsios, is slated to focus on fast‑moving fields such as artificial intelligence, tech‑related national security, and ensuring American workers benefit from new tools, with the potential to expand to 24 members.

The new PCAST iteration emphasizes industry expertise, drawing heavily from executives who design the hardware and platforms powering modern technology. Zuckerberg issued a brief statement saying he is “honored to join the president’s council” and sees an opportunity for the United States to lead globally in AI. While supporters argue that practical knowledge from these leaders can translate ideas into products and jobs, critics point out the panel’s bias toward corporate heads rather than university scientists or government researchers, raising concerns about a lack of independent scientific perspective.

Social media erupted within hours of the announcement, with many questioning whether a tech CEO whose companies have faced accusations of bias and content moderation should sit on a science advisory board. Users highlighted the absence of other prominent AI figures such as Elon Musk and OpenAI’s Sam Altman, interpreting the selections as a tilt toward certain industry factions. The debate centered on the balance between leveraging private‑sector expertise and preventing excessive corporate influence over national technology policy.

Meta gets ready to launch two new Ray-Ban AI glasses https://thever.ge/K8bp #Wearable #Gadgets #Lowpass #Column #Meta #Tech #AI

Last night I was invited to go on the @BBCNews channel with presenter Christian Fraser to react to the breaking news that #Meta & #Google had been found liable in a social media addiction trial in Los Angeles, brought by a young woman who claims she became addicted to social media as a child.

I had less than 15 minutes to get ready and I had to listen to the press conference and react to it immediately - so please excuse the messy hair 😅

Here are the main points of what I said:

📌This is a civil case. We need robust legislation, otherwise there is no precise US federal or state law that the tech giants have broken and they can keep appealing. You need to have a law in order to determine someone broke that law.

📌Right now, although we know there *is* definitely harm, the studies are inconclusive & only self-reporting. We need more studies and proven psychological analysis of harm to our young people.

📌We need our governments to stop being lenient with the tech giants and make it clear what specifically we expect from them, what tools and features we want to see, and we need to base that off specific, stated, measured harms.
