The European Union has opened a formal investigation into Meta over concerns it isn’t doing enough to safeguard the mental and physical health of children, reports @theverge.
The probe will assess whether Meta has breached rules under the EU’s Digital Services Act (DSA), noting that Facebook and Instagram’s UI and algorithms may cause “behavioral addictions in children.” There are also concerns that Meta isn’t doing enough to prevent minors from accessing inappropriate content, and that its age-verification tools may not be “reasonable, proportionate, and effective.”
EU-Kommission leitet Verfahren gegen Facebook-Mutter Meta ein
Die EU-Kommission hat ein Verfahren gegen Meta eröffnet. Brüssel wirft Meta vor, hauseigene Dienste so zu konzipieren, dass sie bei Kindern und Jugendlichen Suchtverhalten auslösen könnten.
Meta said in a statement: “This feature aims to strike the balance between protecting people from seeing nude images and educating them about the risks of sharing them, while not preventing or interrupting people’s important conversations.”

$800 needed to stay off the street
$200 to cover Car Insurance that already came out my account
We used pretty much all $800 that Mom gets monthly that would have been used for food to stay off the street to avoid dying in the toxic #ClimateChange heat of our state that's deeply in a #drought
Last wk, #Meta revealed (in a motion tried to dismiss: FTC anti-mon. lawsuit) that IG made $32.4B in 2021 ad rev. -shocking -consider #Google's YouTube made $28.8B -same period. App made ~30% of Meta's entire rev. in the early part of 2022. 96% of Meta's $40.1B Q4 2023 rev. came from ads +made >$100B since 2021 -likely to continue -only thing these platforms care about is rev.⬆️. In America, 83% of adults use YouTube, 68%: IG: 47%." #AI#Antitrusthttps://www.wheresyoured.at/the-great-looting-of-the-internet/
#WhatsApp uses the open-source #Signal protocol… However, encryption isn’t the whole story… WhatsApp and, by extension, all #Meta organizations know you sent something, when you sent it, and who you sent it to…
WOOT! Meta dreper Workplace! Endelig slipper jeg unna det hellscapet av en internside.

Für ein Abo zahlen oder personalisierte Werbung sehen: Bei Facebook und Instagram haben Nutzer diese beiden Möglichkeiten. Die Verbraucherzentrale NRW hält das für rechtswidrig und darum klagt gegen Meta.

I wrote my first public blog post on 2004-05-11. I immediately followed it up with a brief review of my BlackBerry. I kept up the blogging for a few months, then it trickled off. I preferred posting on Usenet and other primitive forms of social media. But, by 2007, I was back to blogging on […]
“Meta recruited me to lead their Human Exploitation investigations. My job was to prevent real-world harm from crimes like sextortion and trafficking. I was supposed to start Monday.
“But moments after hosting a webinar to combat the surge of sextortion targeting minors, and hearing from the parents of children who were killed by this crime, I got the phone call rescinding my offer.”
Erm, so when I open #Facebook at the moment it tells me I'm not connected to the internet and my computer slows all the way down and starts overheating.
It is only on my personal Facebook account - client accounts work fine.
The site won't work at all for me.
I tried downloading the Facebook messenger app but it says my login details are wrong (they are not).
