A pretty good read.

🤭”technical issue”
“#Meta’s platforms, including #Facebook and Instagram, went down for thousands of users on Tuesday, because of what the company called a “technical issue.” The outage was resolved within around two hours.”
https://www.cnn.com/2024/03/05/tech/facebook-instagram-outages?cid=ios_app
A leading psychologist who advises #Meta on suicide prevention and self-harm has quit her role, accusing the tech giant of “turning a blind eye” to harmful content on #Instagram, repeatedly ignoring expert advice and prioritising profit over lives.

ALL THEY KNOW HOW TO DO IS #MURDER WITH #ZERO_INNOVATION.
BTW with one search on any ONE of our profiles you will find that EXACT SAME STORY.. they are #rehashing NOW;) = #PILING_ON DEFINED? = all COPYCATs IMHO
OUR TRACK RECORD SPEAKS FOR ITSELF.
.. YOU GOTTA LEARN TO #WALK B4 YOU CAN #RUN.. FATHER OF 4.

Facebook “gave Netflix and Spotify the ability to read Facebook users’ private messages.”
But, yes, please, do federate with them mastodon.social. Because senpai noticed you.

Dear @Gargron,
A fediverse server called Threads is violating mastodon.social’s second server rule:
“2. No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia…
Transphobic behavior such as intentional misgendering and deadnaming is strictly prohibited.”
Can you please defederate from this server to protect the trans people on mastodon.social?
Thank you.
PS. It’s run by these guys: https://techcrunch.com/2024/03/26/facebook-secret-project-snooped-snapchat-user-traffic/

how long until threads threatens to or actually does start blocking mastodon.social for allowing nudity?
would dot social bend the knee in that scenario and change their policy? probably
Given the latest news and their overall work, I've updated a list of all #DNS used by #Meta and its trackers : #Facebook, #Instagram, #WhatsApp and all other crap.
Usable with #personalDNSfilter on #Android, if you no longer have an account with them (which you should) and want to block them completely from browsing, I've put all the information you need to set up the list in my Git repository below 👇

We've got new Dot Social podcast episodes coming with fediverse leaders, starting with @mike's conversation with Meta's @rklambo and @pcottle, two key people building #Threads. That one releases on Monday, followed by episodes with @snarfed.org and @molly0xfff. Be sure to subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. Here's more info:

Meta lost $3.85 billion on the metaverse in the first quarter of 2024 alone. You know, that thing we all laughed about a couple years ago and next to no one actually uses.
It’s burned $45 billion on the metaverse since the end of 2020.

Threads is the largest player so far to adopt #ActivityPub, and as @mike says, “The implications are huge.”
Why is Threads doing this? How is the team working with the community? How are they thinking about moderation, monetization and privacy in these early days and going forward?
In the newest episode of @dot_social, Mike digs in with @rklambo, Director of Product Management, and @pcottle, Software Engineer. Check it out in the fediverse on PeerTube or wherever you like to listen to podcasts. More details here:

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.

Yay! My #Flipboard account is federating: @darnell
Like #Threads & #Ghost, Flipboard is beta testing #ActivityPub on its main site.
I believe Flipboard will prove to be a counterweight to Threads and a prime location for news & pundits (as #Meta does not really desire the latter two on their platforms).
Did Meta, “Call of Duty” and gun manufacturer Daniel Defense “groom” the shooter who killed 19 students and two teachers at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas? Wrongful-death lawsuits brought by the victims’ families say yes. Read more from Tech Crunch: https://flip.it/QVEKdG

Meta tried to discredit researchers in one of Brazil's top universities who identified fraudulent ads in its platforms:
"Defaming scientists has become a global strategy of Big Techs in order to try to silence critics in universities."
"In the United States, the social network has gone as far as banning researchers from accessing data after they did something that displeased the company."
Meta is deploying chatbots powered by AI to impersonate humans in its discussion groups. The chatbots make stuff up—that is their nature. One invents a nonexistent child. Another pretends to have nonexistent merchandise. It shouldn’t be necessary to explain how vile and poisonous this is, but Casey Fiesler @cfiesler spells it out:

🚨 BREAKING 🚨
ORG has complained to the Information Commissioner's Office (UK) about Meta's changes to their privacy policy.
Meta's plans to take users’ information to 'develop and improve AI' appear to violate GDPR in a number of ways.
We say privacy over profits!

A few years ago, Mark Zuckerberg was one of the most reviled figures in Silicon Valley.
Today, Elon Musk has taken his spot and Zuckerberg’s makeover has led far too many people to downplay the continued harms of his reign. Don’t buy the “Zuckessance.”
“Hey, White Dudes! So, I think we’re all pretty sick of hearing how much we suck. Every time you go online, it’s the same story: we’re the problem.

Meta has admitted it used all its users’ public posts on its platforms going back to 2007 to train its AI models during an Australian senate inquiry.
The only exception was for users in the European Union who opted out.

🚨🚨🚨 Attention please! 🚨🚨🚨
Yesterday I published a few toots about my experiences with the #Beeper app by Automattic, which uses the #Matrix protocol & allows users to easily create bridges to the inboxes of #Whatsapp #Instagram #LinkedIn and a plethora of other apps.
Well well late last night I was on my burner phone to check Threads and I got a notification from Instagram warning me that my account showed bot-like behavior and was at risk of being permanently banned. #Meta got mad! (cont')
Apparently, if you have facebook or Instagram installed on your phone, #Meta was able to track your browsing habits and link them to your real identity even if you never logged in on the web, used incognito mode or a VPN. I hope Meta gets hit with every fine in the book.

Let your creative friends know, Threads (and #Twitter / X of course) are not the solution.
