<p>Connecting The Meta Privacy Dots</p><p>As dangerous as it is, I find it somewhat humorous to watch the reactions to some of the actions Meta is taking to gather up and reprocess what we see and hear. Especially from the always hungry for some new cool tech crowd. On the one hand you can’t blame someone from wanting the next new thing to play with. On the other you also can’t blame tech companies for taking advantage of hobbyists’ hunger.</p><p></p><p>Every where you turn on the Internet, everyone is posting about <a href="https://www.wired.com/story/meta-now-lets-anyone-use-your-instagram-photos-in-ai-images-unless-you-opt-out/" rel="nofollow">Meta changing its Instagram policy</a> so that unless Instagram users opted out, any of their content on that platform was now free for the grabbing by anyone using Meta’s AI tools to create and distribute. You can imagine the possible nasty outcomes of what that would be like. Certainly if you’ve been paying even a smidgen of attention to the goings on with Grok.</p><p>It’s also been interesting to watch the small avalanche of users on other social media announcing that they are taking their Instagram accounts private, opting out by flipping the designated switches, or just bailing on Instagram altogether.</p><p>Almost parallel to this policy change happening word spread <a href="https://thenewthings.com/p/i-paid-someone-to-hack-my-meta-glasses" rel="nofollow">from Joanna Stern,</a> among others, about a trend (and apparent underground business opportunity) of users of Meta’s smart glasses who were disabling the mechanism that displayed the warning light when the camera was recording. Talk about a poke in the eye with a sharp stick.</p><p>Meta quickly <a href="https://thenewthings.com/p/meta-glasses-update-recording-light" rel="nofollow">moved to put the kibosh on that</a> with a software update that disabled the cameras if the warning light was tampered with. (I wonder if it works if you just taped over the camera?)</p><p>Privacy focused tech geeks were all over that, praising Meta for moving so swiftly to counter the hack.</p><p>But hold on a minute. These stories don’t end there. According to a report from <a href="https://archive.ph/XZ9QZ" rel="nofollow">The Financial Times,</a> Meta is testing ‘super sensing’ AI glasses that can record video and audio continuously.</p><p>Here’s a quote:</p><p><p>The $1.5tn social media platform has been advancing a new hardware line of smart glasses that would continuously record audio while taking photos every few seconds, according to multiple people familiar with the matter. A user could then use AI to help query what they saw or heard, or recall their day.</p></p><p>And the worm continues to turn:</p><p><p>With Meta’s current AI smart glasses, an LED in the corner of the frame lights up to signal to others when a wearer is taking photographs or filming.</p><p>However, executives are currently planning not to activate the LED when the super-sensing features are being used, according to multiple people familiar with the matter. That would make it harder for bystanders to know when they were being recorded, potentially intensifying the privacy concerns surrounding the technology. Those plans could still change, however, several people said.</p></p><p>It’s pretty easy to connect the dots between these two stories. Mark Zuckerberg wants anything and everything he can on you, and he doesn’t care how it’s used once he has his paws on it and his data centers crunching it. The privacy implications are certainly real, even if you don’t use a Meta product but fall within camera or microphone range of someone who does.</p><p>We’ve heard all of this before in different contexts. Microsoft caught all kinds of hell for <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Recall" rel="nofollow">Windows Recall,</a> a feature that continually monitored and recorded what was on your screen. I’m old enough to remember the hue and cry about Google Glasses back in the day.</p><p>It’s a bit eerie how those at the time very visceral reactions seem to have softened in this new era of folks rushing to turn over their data to the AI crunchers in order to better plan a party. Should be quite interesting to watch party videos if this prototype Meta is testing ever comes to reality and becomes accepted.</p><p>I predict we’re going to keep hearing about this kind of thing again and again as the tech companies keep thirsting after any morsel of data about you, what you do, and where you do it. For their purposes that thirst will never be quenched.</p><p>It used to be “their purposes” was simply defined as selling or brokering your data for advertising purposes, because despite all of the grand promises of how this can help users, it’s always been about making a buck hustling your data for advertisting. Add AI into the mix, and it’s also about continuing to feed and train that beast to help them with that same ultimate goal.</p><p>Apple is rumored to be working on a version of AirPods Pro that contains cameras, apparently for AI purposes. All the talk you hear about Apple and others creating pendants, pins, other wearables, and counter top robots all follow the track to the same end point regardless of how the user benefits are packaged and hyped. Even if some follow Apple’s announced approach of keeping your data on whatever device is recording your every moment, those that don’t, like Meta, will spoil any potential benefit. Heck, in the long run, that’s type of spoilage is probably going to be a good thing in this era of overreaching.</p><p>It’s a damn shame really. Because there are certainly legitimate accessibilty uses for this kind of technology. But I have to say, it sure feels like that’s going to be just another hyped up smokescreen to try and mask the real purposes behind all of this.</p><p> </p><p>Thanks for reading.

<p>Want an update on the Weekend at Bernie’s clown show that is W Social? No? Me neither, but here we are…</p><p>So before we start, let’s recount the whole dystopian raison d’être of these Davosian clowns: to be a EU®opean “alternative to X” that – cue the 1984 theme tune – verifies your identity to ensure that only “real people” are on it (real is what your government says it is).</p><p>Now, let’s fast forward to last week, when TikTok set up an account on W Social.</p><p>That’s nice, isn’t it? One surveillance capitalist lending their support to another? Kumbaya and all that. The only problem? (spoiler alert), it wasn’t TikTok. (Shocking, I know.)</p><p>The account, Identity Verified™ by EU X – sorry, W Social, was a spam account and immediately labelled as such by BlueSky moderators. (Don’t you love a “decentralised” system where a post on an EU server, accessed from another EU server, is moderated by our benevolent Big Brother in Trumpland, by the way? I know it just warms the cockles of my heart. So much sovereignty! But I digress…)</p><p>So <span class="h-card"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@_elena" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>_elena</span></a></span> calls them out (someone has to while <span class="h-card"><a href="https://ec.social-network.europa.eu/@EUCommission" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>EUCommission</span></a></span> is busy preparing for their honeymoon after expressing their undying devotion to W Social recently on every social platform¹):</p><p><a href="https://mu.social/profile/elenarossini.com/post/3mqob7shxks2t" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="mu.social/profile/elenarossini.com/post/3mqob7shxks2t"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">mu.social/profile/elenarossini</span><span class="invisible">.com/post/3mqob7shxks2t</span></a></p><p>Anna Zeiter – W CEO, Stanford’s own, and ex-eBay executive (such sovereignty) – replies with this absolute zinger:</p><p>> “We are just verifying if some [sic] is a human and at least 18 years old. Users are then free to choose their own user name. This (human) user apparently chose the name TikTok.“ (<a href="https://mu.social/profile/anna.wsocial.eu/post/3mqoepm7m2k2z" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="mu.social/profile/anna.wsocial.eu/post/3mqoepm7m2k2z"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">mu.social/profile/anna.wsocial</span><span class="invisible">.eu/post/3mqoepm7m2k2z</span></a>)</p><p>Read that as many times as you like until it really sinks in.</p><p>These incompetent clowns (dangerous competent clowns but incompetent clowns nevertheless) make people go through a ridiculous 13-step identity verification stage² and then… umm… you get to choose whatever identity you want.</p><p>🤡🤡🤡</p><p>Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad they’re incompetent. It would be worse if they were competent, given they’re a closed-source venture-capital-funded startup determined to prove your identity.</p><p>> “Yes we have a business model, it’s not a philanthropy, we are not a B corp, we actually want to make money.” – Anna Zeiter³</p><p>But, what I want to know is this: Why has <span class="h-card"><a href="https://ec.social-network.europa.eu/@EUCommission" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>EUCommission</span></a></span> embraced a proprietary, closed-source, corporate ghost town with 14,300 accounts, 90% of which have not posted even once (in other words, with only 1,259 accounts that have ever posted)⁴ when there is a thriving non-corporate fediverse with millions of active people on it.</p><p>Could it have anything to do with identity verification, surveillance, and control?</p><p>And if so, why can’t they even get that right?</p><p>Looking forward to seeing how long <span class="h-card"><a href="https://ec.social-network.europa.eu/@EUCommission" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>EUCommission</span></a></span> can drag the corpse of W Social around before people realise it’s dead.</p><p>Oh, and how does this make the whole “European alternatives” thing look? Not good. Not because there aren’t excellent European alternatives but because the folks at the commission are either too clueless or too corrupt to recognise and support them.</p><p>So, yeah, how’s your Monday going?</p><p>¹ e.g., <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/@aral/116770333053823108" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="mastodon.ar.al/@aral/116770333053823108"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">mastodon.ar.al/@aral/116770333</span><span class="invisible">053823108</span></a>, etc.</p><p>² <a href="https://aseachange.com/@elena/statuses/01KVD55YBYVM3B46ACQTECDMT2" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="aseachange.com/@elena/statuses/01KVD55YBYVM3B46ACQTECDMT2"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">aseachange.com/@elena/statuses</span><span class="invisible">/01KVD55YBYVM3B46ACQTECDMT2</span></a></p><p>³ <a href="https://blog.elenarossini.com/the-untold-story-about-w-social-unconventional-beginnings-strategic-pitches-conflicting-signals/" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="blog.elenarossini.com/the-untold-story-about-w-social-unconventional-beginnings-strategic-pitches-conflicting-signals/"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">blog.elenarossini.com/the-unto</span><span class="invisible">ld-story-about-w-social-unconventional-beginnings-strategic-pitches-conflicting-signals/</span></a> (from the YouTube video that they since deleted.
