He said Meta's violations of law and misrepresentations to the public about how their Facebook data was used and shared were "willful" and spanned "more than 11 years," stretching from 2010 to 2021.

New Mexico has been one of Meta's most notable adversaries in court. The state this year also fined Meta almost $1bn for misleading the public about the safety of its social media platforms for children.

The judge overseeing that lawsuit ultimately compared Meta to an industrial polluter of the air, with its form of pollution being "the psychological harm and sexual exploitation of children."

Ja, über das Platzen der KI-Blase hatte ich ja bereits auch öffentlich gesprochen:

„Medienethiker Blume: Monopole von Google, Meta und X werden enden

Soziale Medien gefährden die Demokratie - so die Kritik des Experten Michael Blume. Er setzt auf Open Source und Vielfalt, um so eine menschenfreundliche Gesellschaft zu retten.“

Gleichwohl sehen wir an OpenClaw & Co., dass auch kleinere KI-Modelle Schwarmbewusstsein emergieren können.

Auch in der Militärtechnik lassen ja KI-gestützte Drohnenschwärme längst den Rheinmetall-Konzern als Hersteller von Altmetall erscheinen…

Meta paused new business terms that would have made Facebook page owners allow AI training on websites they link. Courts in Brazil and Norway had blocked them, and Meta says its current terms stay. So what: run a site? Set your AI crawler rules in robots.txt.

Meta illegaly downloaded 80+ terabytes of books from LibGen, Anna's Archive, and Z-library to train their Al models. In 2010, Aaron Swartz downloaded only 70 GBs of articles from JSTOR (0.0875% of Meta). Faced $1 million in fine and 35 years in jail. Took his own life in 2013.

Measles, mumps and misinformation: how Crunchy Moms became ‘the most dangerous’ group on Facebook

Exclusive: Meta says it removes content that could cause imminent physical harm – but nearly half a million members have joined a group that regularly promotes misinformation

Ainda ando pelo Instagram limitando o tempo a 45 minutos por dia.

Em geral só dá tempo de ver o que me mandam por DM, mas essa semana vasculhei a TL umas 3x.

A Meta tá alagando a minha TL de posts de amigues às vésperas do segundo turno! Só agora mostrando argumentos pra votar contra o fascismo.

Pra mim é deboche! “Ah! Tá reclamando que não mostrei? Pois não mostrei mesmo!”

Que plataforma podre!

Alguém mais passando por isso?

HOW TO KILL META!
=================

The legal math on media is broken. The punitive measures are not effective deterrents against Meta's abusive behavior.

Meta does harmful things, apologizes, pays a pittance, and still comes out ahead financially.

Zuckerberg sold out his users data to Cambridge Analytica, and influenced the US election. Then he appeared before Congress like a contrite little schoolboy - "Oops! I didn't mean to accidentally cut multibillion dollar deals and sell out Facebook users. Honest mistake. I promise not to do it again ( unless the price is right! )"
Because of the math, he still came out ahead.

I left Meta's platforms a long time ago.

People who are not savvy, are locked into the Facebook walled garden, because of the Network Effect. ( "I can't leave Facebook. All my friends are on Facebook!" )

Having liberated ourselves, it is our duty to liberate others, who are still trapped, to give them their right to privacy.

Here's a plan of action:

1) Place ads on Facebook, explaining the benefits of the #Fediverse
( https://Fediverse.info/ )

1.1) Freedom from Meta's censorship and algorithms.

1.2) A community owned, open social media platform.

1.3) Based on Free Software, auditable by all.

2) When a user clicks, guide them through exporting their data from Facebook, and deleting their Facebook account.

3) Give them an optional questionnaire, asking about their interests, and match them with the right #Mastodon instance.

4) If they skip the optional questionnaire, pick a semi random Mastodon instance for them.

5) Give them an option to enter into a Facebook migration registry.

6) Help them set up a Mastodon account and import their data.

7) If they opted into the migrant registry, reconnect them with their former Facebook connections, who also joined the registry. Like a reunion in Heaven with your loved ones. ☺️

Migration Details:
===============

1. Set up a website to facilitate the exodus out of Facebook/Twitter.
For example:
Facebook2Fedi.org / Twitter2Fedi.org

2. The websites can be publicized through word of mouth, or any number of other means, not just through ads on Facebook / Twitter / X

3. It's a week's worth of work for an experienced programmer. So the requirements break down as:

3.1 A programmer's pay for 1 week ( or volunteer hackers ).

3.2 Two internet domains.

3.3 managed web hosting costs for 1 year.

3.4 customer support hotline number.

A lot of these costs can probably be covered by existing Free Software projects, which may offer free hosting. We might find enough Fediverse volunteers to operate the hotlines.

Technical Details:
===============

1) The User clicks on a link to go to FB2Fedi.org ( working title )

2) The website guides them on how to get FB to release their data to them.

3) The user jumps through the FB hoops, and downloads an archive of their FB data. This might take a day or two.

4) The website ( FB2Fedi.org ) guides them through setting up a Fediverse account.

5) The website optionally helps them upload their contacts file to the registry hosted by the site ( infosec details to be hashed out ).

6) The website helps them upload their posts and photos etc to their Fediverse account. This might require some parsing scripts, for ETL ( Extract, Transform & Load ).

7) The user's data pretty much stays in their control. Their social network is mostly the data a user entrusts the migration registry with.
Using some cryptography primitives, it might be possible to limit this exposure, and mitigate the risk.

A Brazilian court has blocked #Meta from implementing its new terms of service that allow for the mass scraping of websites.

The court has set a daily fine of $1m reais ($182K) for non-compliance

Pretty sure I'm not the only one who sees a problem with this:

"The warrants are part of a growing use of equity incentives by chip and AI cloud companies to secure massive, long-term purchases from a small group of AI customers, and highlight the circular nature of the AI boom, where companies can simultaneously be customers, ​suppliers and investors in one another."

"The strategy also risks diluting AMD shareholders."

Not an expert, but this action appears to be dragging a long chain of troubles behind it, both in the U.S. and Europe.

As others have pointed out, there could be an influx of newcomers to the #Fediverse from #Brazil who are tired of #Meta 's latest shenanigans while meddling with politics.

If you see them, be friendly and welcoming, and under no circumstances start with "You are using the Fediverse wrong!"

I mean it. We have a serious "Reply Guy" problem around here, and we've already lost our big chance with Black Twitter. Let's not screw _this_ opportunity up, okay?

And that's only the theft they know about.
