Because they provide day-to-day contact that I can't duplicate with extended family outside the US, I've decided to stay on #Facebook and #Instagram despite major issues with the motives and actions of #Meta. But I have seen that the huge amount of photo nostalgia they deal up to an older person like me is not innocent or harmless. Rather, it is part of a coordinated message, intended to influence public opinions and elections, that the past was drastically better than today. #propaganda
#Meta verzichtet _auch_ bei Nutzern in der #Schweiz _vorläufig_ auf das #KI-Training mit Nutzerdaten:
https://steigerlegal.ch/2024/06/21/meta-ki-training-nutzer-schweiz-edoeb/
Ich empfehle dennoch, #Widerspruch bei Meta zu erheben. Der Verzicht von Meta ist nur vorläufig und der #EDÖB hat erklärt, gegenüber ausländischen Tech-Konzernen machtlos zu sein.
Das Widerspruchsformular für Nutzer von Instagram und Meta ist in meinem Beitrag verlinkt. Der Widerspruch ist schnell erledigt, auch dank meinem Vorschlag für die erforderliche Begründung.
@wogan As long as #Threads is not showing replies from the #Fediverse to their own users, I am more and more inclined to think that #Meta is indeed trying to lure Fediverse users that are frustrated because nobody can see their posts into their semi-closed ecosystem that way.
Or at least divert any growth from Fediverse beyond the hard-core Fedizens into Threads so that it is not becoming a serious competitor to their business model...
Because how could I ever become an #influencer on Mastodon that way?
#META rant
English version below
Sjees, reclames voor #instagram op TV. Kunnen we geen tegenreclame krijgen (#socutera?) die ons eraan herinnert dat gebruik van META (faceboek, threads, whatsapp, instagram) de democratie ondermijnt?
Shees, ads for #instagram on Dutch TV. Can't we get counter-ads to remind us that using META (facebook, threahs, whatsapp, instagram) is undermining democracy?
Time to say good bye, crawler. (blocked at 19.30PM)
Kein Fake, funktioniert wirklich, habe es grad selber probiert.
Meta sichert sich in Zukunft das Recht, alle geposteten Beiträge / Nachrichten / Likes etc. für die eigene KI zu nutzen. Dafür braucht das Unternehmen viele Daten, um das Lernen der KI zu unterstützen. Wenn du nicht möchtest, dass deine Daten für KI-Zwecke genutzt werden, kannst du hier widersprechen:

So #Meta is expanding their #AI features on #Facebook and I was presented with the following. It states I have a "right to object." The next sentence begins with "if your objection is honored...."
WTF? I have a right to object but they get to decide if they want to honor it? What kind of "right" is that? Did they mistype, "You have the slight possibility to object"
To really drive home the "fuck you" nature of this, I clicked on the "right to object" link.
"This form isn’t available."
I can confidently diagnose #betterhelp as sociopaths.
Promised therapy customers privacy...then gave their mental health info to advertisers.
Victims get less than ten bucks each.
Company made billion+ in revenue last year alone.
In a just society with good privacy laws, they'd face existential civil & criminal consequences.

#UK competition #watchdog has 'real concerns' over big tech #AI dominance
‚The CMA found an "interconnected web" of AI partnerships involving the same firms: #Google, #Apple, #Microsoft, #Meta, #Amazon, and chip-maker #Nvidia.
"[…] Now, with a deeper understanding and having watched developments very closely, we have real concerns“‘
The only acceptable deadnaming is referring to Meta as "Facebook."
