A Brazilian court has blocked #Meta from implementing its new terms of service that allow for the mass scraping of websites.
The court has set a daily fine of $1m reais ($182K) for non-compliance

My goodness #meta #muse is a Teletubby from a #privacy hellscape. Would someone inform me? Does Meta keep profiles on non-customers? #cw

For Brazilians looking for an out from Meta social networks, you can have Brazil centered mastodon instances. I could find 1 instance on https://joinmastodon.org/servers that was on open registration:
https://organica.social/
Otherwise, with filtered registration:
- https://mastodon.com.br
- https://ursal.zone
It doesn't even stop at mastodon, there is pixelfed for photo centric content, loops video for the more tiktok vibe, bandwagon for music artists, etc.
Apart from that, welcome to the fediverse!
As mentioned before, my employer has banned the Meta "Pervert" Glasses at work. Now they've also banned the new Apple Watch.
Well done!
🚨 "META took down the No Kings IG account for 4 hours today!"
It´s so obvious. Fuck META.

What we’re up against in the U.S. during this election.
Yesterday:
1. Meta closed the No Kings accounts on the day of the protest. Restored them later, saying “our bad.” But did not restore admin privileges.
2. We learned that millions of people had no idea about the protests because Meta suppressed posts about it.
3. Bluesky closed the Democracy Now account for “unusual activity.” (No idea if it has been restored.)
And for months we’ve been watching the fascists do everything in their power to restrict voting rights.
The billionaires know they’re the minority. Not economically (which is obvious) but ethically. Otherwise they wouldn’t be working so hard to stop democracy.
I wanna believe most Americans are good people. We’re fighting for what’s right. But our enemy has massive resources and control. That what we need to quell.
Keep fighting. Stay vigilant. And for fuck’s sake, vote!
