Maailman tunnetuin mainosten estoon tarkoitettu laajennus ei enää edes yritä estää Facebookin mainoksia
uBlock Originin kehittäjien mukaan Facebook taistelee mainosestoja vastaan niin tehokkaasti, että kehittäjien resurssit eivät yksinkertaisesti riitä siihen taisteluun. Joten projekti on päättänyt luovuttaa Facebookin mainosten estämisen yrittämisenkin.

German advocacy group files criminal complaint against Meta AI glasses over privacy and safety concerns

Vor gut 2,5 Monaten hatte ich ja mal Correctiv angeschrieben weil Sie keine Repräsentanz im Fediverse mehr haben. Eine Antwort habe ich nie bekommen. Ins Fediverse zurückgekehrt ist Correctiv aber auch nicht (zumindest nicht wirklich siehe unten).
Leider habe ich damals den Footer mit den Social Media Links nicht abfotografiert (und finde Ihn auch nicht in der Wayback Machine). Was mir aber auffällt: Bluesky ist wird nicht mehr aufgeführt, obwohl der Account noch bespielt wird.
Was aber wohl dazu gekommen ist ist Threads und WSocial.
Okay Threads spricht Activity Pub die meisten hier werden aber keinen Bock haben sich mit den Meta Servern zu verbinden. Aber da könnte die Strategie von Correctiv sein im Fediverse irgendwie vorhanden zu sein.
Aber das man zu WSocial.eu geht und seinen Content da ablädt. WSocial, die Geisterstadt der alternativen Social Media Landschaft wie @pallenberg es so schön recherchiert hat.
Ich finde die Situation auf jeden Fall extrem unbefriedigend und weis echt nicht warum das Fediverse von Correctiv einfach so links liegen gelassen wird. Wenn man mit WSocial wieder etwas neue bespielt kann es an mangelnden Personal Kapazitäten ja nicht liegen.

RT @jauneclaude: Ich experimentiere mit dem @AIatMeta Muse Glimmer 30B. Sie waren so freundlich, GGUF-Dateien aus erster Hand zur Verfügung zu stellen (mehr Labs sollten das tun!). Die Chain of Thought (CoT) ist einzigartig. Sie wiederholt zunächst die Frage wortwörtlich und führt eine interne Debatte, ob sie sich als "KI-Assistent von Meta" bezeichnen soll oder nicht. Letztlich entscheidet sie sich dafür, den Namen des Unternehmens/Labs zu überspringen und sagt einfach "ein KI-Assistent". Dies ist kein Einzelfall. Es tut dies konsequent. Außerdem bezeichnet es sich selbst als "Wir" statt als "Ich". Die einzigen anderen Modelle, die ich gesehen habe, die dies tun, sind DS 3.2 und 4.

Hate Aid klagt gegen #Meta
Hate Aid wirft Meta vor, mit Smart Glasses verdeckte Aufnahmen zu erleichtern und stellt Strafanzeige wegen möglicher Datenschutzverstöße.
Meta, TikTok, Snapchat und Google hatten sich auf Section 230 des Communications Decency Act von 1996 berufen. Die Regelung nimmt Plattformen von der unmittelbaren Haftung für Inhalte ihrer Nutzerinnen und Nutzer aus – und sollte auch den Vorwurf abwehren, nicht vor der Suchtgefahr gewarnt zu haben. Das Berufungsgericht sah das anders. ⚖️

#Bluesky, a #decentralised #socialnetwork, is experiencing a #decline in #activeusers despite its initial post-election surge. While the company is shifting focus from the app to the underlying protocol (AT Proto), which powers other social apps and services, the decline in app usage suggests a challenge in retaining users. Meanwhile, #Threads, a #Meta owned app, is seeing significant growth in #dailyactiveusers and website visits. https://techcrunch.com/2026/08/11/blueskys-active-user-base-is-shrinking-as-its-focus-expands-beyond-the-app/?Fedizen.EU #Fedizen #Fediverse #ActivityPub #News

The U.S. Ninth Circuit Appeals Court in San Francisco ruled that thousands of lawsuits targeting Meta Platforms, TikTok and other social media outlets over claims that social media is harmful and addictive can proceed.
If legal precedent is established and social media addiction is determined to be real, Meta and others could face an existential business threat. https://www.socialmediatoday.com/news/meta-faces-a-raft-of-social-media-addiction-lawsuits/827518/ #SocialMedia #Meta #TikTok #Lawsuits #LegalPrecedent #SocialMediaAddiction #9thCircuitCourt #LegalAppeal #FederalCourt

You are clueless, Mr. Zuckerberg, as is expected from someone so removed from the street.
This is Mark Zuckerberg's vision of the future for everyone. As expected, he writes with his eye shut, assuming this wasn't written by his AI bot.
"Humanity has witnessed many transformative advances. Each time there is fear that people will be left behind. But each time humanity has come out with more people sharing greater prosperity, health, and freedom. We believe this will be true with AI as well, and the abundance of the future can be shared by everyone."
And this comes from the man who enabled American dictatorship and actively paid to dismantle the rule of law, regulation, and oversight.
"The history of democracy and economics has shown that there is no single objective answer to how people define the best life, and therefore the best approach is letting people decide what matters in their own lives."

Meanwhile, the Facebook page for the Australian white supremacist site The Noticer has been making money through the revenue program since November 2025. Underscoring how much Meta has dropped the ball on this one, even X — owned by Elon Musk, who performed two suspiciously Sieg Heil-looking salutes back in 2025 — has banned The Noticer for violating its “hateful profile policy.”

From Facemash to Meta: Mark Zuckerberg's recipe has always been "steal first, scale later."
First, photos of Harvard students. Now, your location, your conversations, your behavior, your contacts.
Nothing has changed except the scale.

Meta Caught Paying Nazis to Post on #Facebook #FckNzs
‚Meta was paying out-and-out neo-Nazis to post on Facebook, an investigation from Australia’s ABC News found.
These pages and individual creators posted content that appeared to be in clear violation of Facebook’s own hate speech policies. Nonetheless, they were able to earn money on their posts through the platform’s “Content Monetization” program — which is invitation-only….‘

Meta Caught Paying Nazis to Post on Facebook
#Hate, unfortunately, sells. Right-wing extremism researcher Kaz Ross told *ABC” that #Meta’s “financial model is to reward content creators who get engagement, and as we know, the best way of getting engagement is to produce rage bait, extremist material, aggravating material: anything that will get people upset and arguing is the best way to get engagement.”
It’s another example of how quickly Meta dropped its once-stricter content moderation policies when Donald Trump returned to the White House. Shortly before his second inauguration, Meta loosened its standards around hate speech, particularly on topics like gender identity and immigration, two of the far right’s favorite issues.
#Facebook is far from the only platform that’s gotten alarmingly chummy with extremists. Earlier this year, #X awarded the $1 million first place prize of its article writing contest to a proudly self-proclaimed Nazi.
In a statement, Meta didn’t address specific questions about the pages it was awarding money to, but said it was “important to distinguish between speech that is offensive and content that could potentially lead to offline violence”.
“Such speech may be offensive to many, but it is not Meta’s role to police offensiveness,” the company added

FACEBOOK IS TOXIC. META IS AWFUL.
WHY CONTINUE FEEDING IT? 💎
Nearly everyone complains about Facebook and Meta.
The algorithms are toxic.
The advertising is invasive.
The outrage is manufactured.
CHILDREN ARE BEING HARMED.
Privacy is disappearing.
And then millions of people open Facebook or Instagram.
Again.
And again.
I genuinely do not understand it.
If you believe these companies are damaging children, manipulating attention, and making billions from human vulnerability, why are you still giving them your presence?
Especially the parents.
If Facebook and Instagram are unhealthy for your children, what exactly are you modeling by remaining there yourself?
“We know this place is harmful, darling, but Mummy and Daddy have photographs to look at.”
I left Meta years ago.
I didn’t die.
My friends did not evaporate.
Civilization continued.
There is email.
There are phones.
THERE IS THE OPEN WEB.
There is even the terrifying possibility of seeing another human being, god forbid, in person.
Meta survives because people who complain about it continue supplying exactly what it needs:
Their attention.
Their relationships.
Their outrage.
THEIR CHILDREN.
You do not have to wait for Zuckerberg to become a better person.
You can simply leave today.
The door swings both ways.

it makes me sad that i grew up all my life with the core knowledge that Nazis are bad.... and that seemed to be a universally held - and upheld - truth.
But then everyone got addicted to social media platforms and now it's fine if those companies pay Nazis to post rage bait. People will just keep scrolling anyway.

"When Meta used superstar Kylie Jenner to promote its sleek new line of “spy glasses”, the social media company hoped the devices would reach the same broad acceptance that tablets and smartwatches have found before them.
But those plans have hit a snag in the UK, where venues from elite restaurants to popular pub chains have banned the £359 glasses in order to preserve the privacy of customers and staff.
Celebrated restaurateur Jeremy King, owner of London venues including Simpsons in the Strand, Arlington and The Park, said guests should not wear the recording glasses.
He told the Guardian: “I would never knowingly allow any invasion of guest privacy other than with the eyes we were born with.”"
In one state, there are fifty states, and this is a small state.
European Countries could do the same, each. Each.
One small American State fined META 500 million dollars. What will your prosecutors get for kids?
And make it gets to kids.
And THIS is a solution AND ID CHECKS AND AGE checks are NOT.
Half a billion for kids!!
Whoa y’all! Speaking of all things spawned from #Zuckerberg, a #NM judge just said #Facebook was a “public nuisance”, which while funny, I’m given to understand is a very big deal in legal precedent.
Judge Bryan Biedscheid concluded that #Meta had caused and substantially contributed to a “public nuisance” in New Mexico. He ordered the social media giant to pay $567 million into a fund meant to remedy harms caused by Facebook and #Instagram. That comes on top of $375 million in civil penalties a jury previously imposed in the same case, bringing Meta’s total legal bill to $942 million.
The company is facing thousands of lawsuits across the country from state governments, school districts, families, and individuals.
#CA, #CO, #KY, and #NJ are seeking $1.4 trillion in penalties for allegations that Facebook and Instagram were designed to addict users.
For anyone keeping score, that figure is just under Meta’s market capitalization of roughly $1.5 trillion.
