A beautiful #email informing that they will update their privacy #policy for the 100th time?
Thank you #Meta for your amazing #Ai and for completely ignoring peoples #privacy over and over again 😂
Please please go ahead use all our #data as you want:
"...on the legal basis called legitimate interests for using your information to develop and improve AI at Meta."
It's a bit ranty towards the end, but there's some fascinating insights here into shifting sands of the ZuckerBorg's metrics, FarceBook enshittification, and so on:
Started looking at KartoView, Mapillary and Mapilio as ways to contribute to @openstreetmap KartoView log in with OSM doesn’t seem to work. Mapilio crashes when you try to record. Mapillary work quite well, then I found out it’s been bought by #Meta and now I’m not so keen. Any recommendations? #OpenSource#OpenStreetMap#DigitalMap#OSM
#Meta#AI offers “helpful” suggestions to The Onion’s posts. They are hilarious at times, because it is clear that the AI does not know that #TheOnion is satire.
"every single terrible thing you see on facebook — be it some sort of horrible right wing nonsense or a confusing and annoying product decision — is made in pursuit of growth. every bit of damage that meta has caused to the world has been either an act of ignorance or deliberate harm"
When I heard #threads was gonna federate, I got hopeful. all the journalists and politicians might leave #xitter for a place that can also provide them a huge audience but with less assholes. and we will slowly get them to go independent as they recognize that controlling their work doesn't require losing their followers etc. enough people do that and it gets "locked open". we win.
so of course now #meta has to tell them politics won't get the algo boost there...
It might be obvious and old news, but on my rare logins to #Instagram I saw a new message of their privacy policy to be updated this month: Every content from every post will be used to train their AI.
If you are a visual artist of any kind and use the platform, #Meta will use your creation against you, literally. You either learn how to publish and own your data, or you’ll be stolen.
Threads is giving young Taiwanese activists a space to connect and mobilize, reports @restofworld, drawing in 1.88 million active monthly users — the fourth highest user base globally behind the U.S., Japan and Brazil, despite having a much smaller population.
It continues: “Protestors have been using a range of apps, including Facebook, Line, and Discord, to coordinate the leaderless protests, but many have found Threads to be the most effective in connecting with people outside their own social circles.” But with Meta promising to cut down on political content across its apps, how long will Threads be willing to host their activism?
