"In 2025, Dutch digital rights group Bits of Freedom won a court case arguing Meta (the company behind Facebook and Instagram) was not compliant with the Digital Services Act."

"The court ordered Meta to add an easily accessible option for Facebook and Instagram users to get rid of algorithmic recommendations."

The rage that I am suppressing at this moment could set countries alight. I want tribunals. I want public executions. I want heads on spikes. I am not kidding. I am “bathe the land in blood” angry. As someone who has worked my whole life against the death penalty, I will admit perhaps I was wrong, and I am fully prepared to accept the ethical consequences of kill them all and let God sort them out.

This is the Meta that just escaped a full trial by buying its way out.

"A Futurism investigation has uncovered a huge number of Facebook accounts uploading streams of videos depicting violent child abuse — and Meta is barely pretending to care about taking them down."

Futurism: Facebook is filled with AI-generated videos of children being beaten, burned, and bludgeoned with heavy objects. Meta doesn't seem to care https://futurism.com/artificial-intelligence/facebook-meta-ai-generated-violent-child-abuse @Futurism #Meta #Facebook

So, after the trial was halted and a massive fine levied, Meta does this. It's incredibly important to note that an AI assistant is neither safe nor private, especially for young users, if ChatGPT is any indication. This is especially true because this bot can be fully autonomous and because Meta can't be trusted.

Personal assistants remember EVERYTHING. And the information will be stored on the company's servers.

According to Meta, the related app "runs on a dedicated, secure virtual machine that houses both the agent and the user’s data."

Australia targets algorithmic social feeds as it looks to hit Big Tech harder

Australia plans to give social media users the option to switch off algorithm-based feeds in proposed legislation, serving as the latest blow to tech giants.

Australia targets algorithmic social feeds as it looks to hit Big Tech harder

Confirmed accurate and fresh (filed this week). Here's the tweet:

---

📸🕶️ Meta is being sued in a new nationwide class action alleging it quietly mined Facebook and Instagram photos to build NameTag, an unreleased facial recognition system meant for its smart glasses, without telling users. The lawsuit also claims those same photos were used to train Meta's generative AI, again without consent.

To be clear, these are allegations in a newly filed case, not proven facts yet. But it's not coming out of nowhere either, earlier reporting had already found NameTag code buried inside Meta's software months before this lawsuit existed. The complaint even points to a Meta patent describing smart glasses that scan a stranger's face and match it against your old tagged photos.

You uploaded vacation pics and family photos. If this holds up, they may have become the training data for a device built to identify strangers on the street.

Mitä pidemmälle luen tuota Facebookista kertovaa kirjaa, sitä hämmästyneempi olen siitä, että:

- Yritys on edelleen olemassa
- Zuckerberge ei ole vankilassa
- Ihmiset käyttävät palvelua vapaaehtoisesti

Al parecer, yo no lo sabía hasta hace poco (ayer) #x y #Meta y todas sus aplicaciones con las versiones verificadas o sea las de pago, hacen que navegar por allí sea no sólo más personalizable, sino hasta más seguro, es un claro ejemplo de enmierdificación ya que estás eran cosas que antes venían de base y gratis, pero ahora te las quitan y te las venden como mejoras de Pago
Al parecer el modelo entró en crisis por algunas regulaciones de datos de los usuarios, cosa que las había enriquecido

I wish more people were talking about the fact that pervert glasses aren't just gross, they're also likely to be used in ways that violate the law in many states.
Companies like Meta have never cared about trivial things like the law, but I dunno, maybe the rest of us should?

AI glasses with continuous recording, AI note-taking, or voice transcription capabilities can easily violate state wiretapping laws. Twelve states require all parties to consent to audio recording of confidential communications, including California, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Montana, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, and Washington. Even in one-party consent states, recording in locations where individuals have reasonable expectations of privacy violates surveillance laws. Going one step further, consider the possibility of the user being close enough to record a conversation between two unrelated persons.

Meta is moving its internal communications from Google Chat to Slack because of AI agents. A memo from AI chief Alexandr Wang says Slack is the strongest platform for AI agents. European governments have spent two years moving the other way, onto sovereign suites.
