Feminist orgs claim #Meta censoring posts about #Cornell 7 case - https://mashable.com/tech/meta-censoring-posts-about-cornell-7-orgs-claim "Florence Pugh received a "sensitive-content" warning on her Cornell post; she doesn't appear to be the only one."
Despite constant reports such as this one, the #KidsAct poses a threat to the foundations of the #Fediverse, not #Meta.

First pervert glasses spotted in Copenhagen (65% confidence).
Denmark, EU, move your asses and forbid the sale and use of these.
Now.
#India is witnessing an unprecedented youth and public protest asking the government to sack it's Chief Election Commissioner (#CEC), who had colluded with the ruling regime to disenfrachise millions of voters in the pas elections by removing them from the electoral list in the name of the Special Intensive Revision (#SIR) of the voter's list, paving way for ruling #BJP to win elections. India is going through an undeclared emergency and it's very clear that the government is looking at brutally suppressing all forms of resistance, originating from the suffering of common people caused by inflation, lack of jobs, crony capitalism, rampant corruption and a crumbling social order. High time to join hands with the protesters to retain the idea of India.
Now students, the new political movement #CJP and #Left parties has been on protests for the past few days a major protest gathering is planned at the National capital #Delhi today (10-Oct), and look at the way the government is reacting to it.
- #Internet shutdown for 24 hours in a 4Km radius where the protests are happening (Jantar Mantar).
- #Meta and other social media platforms have been asked to remove any content flagged by government agencies immediately (and they had been complying!)
- All trains reaching Delhi on saturday has been cancelled.
- 45 odd #DelhiMetro stations are closed.
- Entire city is barricaded and traffic is diverted at more than 30 points.
- 70 company of central reserve police is newly deployed to the capital.
- student activists across different parts of country has been arrested and detained.

Pessoas refens da Meta também tem notado isso. Tem aumentado um pouco o entendimento de que precisam sair das mídias sociais.
Francamente, acho que nem pra redes sociais esse pessoal devia vir: influenciador não interage. Eles ganhariam mais construindo reputação em sites e malas diretas.
Meta doesn’t just want to know what you post. With Muse, it also wants to access what you do.
Meta is advertising that its AI agent Muse can:
🚩 Answer your emails
🚩 Make purchases
🚩 Manage your online accounts
But would you really hand Zuck's company the keys to your digital life? 🔑
Just look at the data, Meta will link to your identity - CRAZY!
Oh what a shame. My threads account I never use has been taken to "verification".
I have a jar here. It's empty. It used to contain all the fucks I give about any #Meta platforms but since even my boomer relatives are now pissed off with Facebook and it's constant stream of AI shit you'd think Zuck would be desperate for every single penny he can get.
So anyway, #fediverse how are you all this fine morning?

#Meta just published how it secures #Muse, its personal AI agent, and the architecture is worth studying for anyone building agentic systems.
The core idea: assume the agent will be attacked, and design the system so a compromised agent causes minimal damage.
• Each user gets an isolated cloud VM (the Muse Secure VM) running the agent, a browser, code execution, subagents, and scheduled jobs.
• Real credentials never enter the VM. The agent works with surrogate tokens, and a separate component called Sentinel swaps in the real credential only at the network boundary.
• Sentinel is the only thing that can talk to connectors or the internet. The agent proposes, Sentinel allows, denies, or asks the user. The agent cannot override it.
• Tainted egress: once a process touches private data, it loses automatic network permission. Any later outbound action needs human approval. This is Meta's answer to the "lethal trifecta" of private data, untrusted input, and a way to send data out.
• The model is trained with prompt injection in mind, but Meta's position is that model-level defenses are never enough, so the real controls live at the OS level.
Notably, Meta also opened a public bug bounty for Muse: up to $300,000 per report, including up to $130,000 for a successful prompt injection affecting a single user.
The broader lesson: permission needs an owner outside the agent that wants to act.

"Tiffany Sloan has over 375,000 followers on Instagram and also isn't a real person but a gen-AI nightmare."
"A stand-up comedian alleged that someone had used AI tools to rip off his joke using a fake AI-slop woman."
"On October 3, comedian George Brett Olson shared a video comparing one of Sloan’s jokes to an excerpt from his own performance, and it’s clear that someone was, at the very least, inspired by not only Olson’s joke, but his outfit, too."

It's a good thing you have nothing to hide because Meta will use all of it against you even if you're not using its spy bot. If you don't care about your own privacy, maybe consider that of the people who are connected to you and those you love.
"Each hour, Muse updates its dossiers on you and the people you’ve mentioned in chats, messages, and emails that Muse has read. These pages amount to a map of each user’s social relationships.

Meta wants everyone to use its AI agent Muse. But should you trust it with your personal data? For one tech editor, the answer is no. At least not yet. “Two people can keep a secret if one is dead, or so goes the saying,” Alaina Yee writes. “But what happens when you share the details of your life with an AI agent?” Read more from @PCWorld:
"Meta is claiming a research tax credit on those data centers, and if the IRS rejects that claim, its tax rate and tax bill go up."

"Social media algorithms amplify right-wing content against young users’ preference"
I finally re-found this study I read a few months ago, that deserves a lot more attention. It is, in fact, the main reason we should be moving away from big-tech social media: it shows more right-wing content than left-wing content, no matter the political leaning of the user.
Propaganda works. See more of something and you start believing it. And they know it.
