This is a warning about Meta and Threads.

Please boost this here and outside of Mastodon so that pregnant people in the United States are informed that using Meta/Threads is dangerous.

I'm unlikely to get pregnant but I have ZERO presence on Meta/Facebook/Instagram/Threads as a matter of principle.

Those pixels.

Do you find this tool by @themarkup useful for identifying them?

PS what kind of crisis center with a conscience uses pixels

@crowgirl this is what

"Let's scan internet chats for criminal activity"

will look like in practice.

@crowgirl Arent they legally obligated to hand over the info if demanded by a court? Or was this without a court even making the request?

@crowgirl It's never a good idea to put anything very personal on any social media, anywhere -- to some degree it's all public. And police can often issue warrants for private groups -- like they did in this case after someone tipped them off.

    @supernovae @crowgirl Facebook/meta doesn't use just posts, it's also uses a bunch of metadata including location etc. Threads will collect this info but the standard for mastodon is not to.

    DJbundster,

    @supernovae @crowgirl is there any way to fight these subpoenas and warrants? I would imagine an app less locked up in top down profit motive would at least have more of an interest in combatting the surveillance state where possible. i just don't know much about the nuts and bolts of this kind of thing.
