"Their study surveyed over 1,700 participants in the US, revealing that anti-misinformation features increased users’ awareness of misinformation in social media; but did not make them more likely to share information on social media, or more willing to receive information from the platforms. Both trust and distrust coexisted in the participants, emerging as distinct features and not simply as opposite ends of a spectrum."
The vibes on Threads have been shifted. The For you feed brings up negative and controversial posts. Unsurpisingly no such negativity exists on my chronological feeds on Mastodon.
I've never really used TikTok but it feels like what I'd expect from there. I'm kinda worried they've made it a place even people who can handle X today wouldn't want to come to.
old twitter would still be awesome if anybody offered it. we do but sadly without the big names, which are kinda essential to making it feel essential.
I don't seem to be seeing "negative" or "controversial" posts when I look at my Threads "For You" feed.
Do you think the change you are seeing on your Threads "For You" feed is something that affects most Threads users? Or something that may have just affected you?
#SocialMedia#Twitter#Censorship#FreedomOfSpeech: "Elon Musk is taking an increasingly combative approach against what he claims are government efforts to censor posts on his social media platform X, as the billionaire engages in public battles with political figures over the issue.
X has attacked “takedown” requests in Brazil, India and Australia in recent weeks, after authorities demanded the removal of content on the site they deem as illegal or harmful.
Its owner, a self-proclaimed free speech absolutist, has gone further, labelling Brazil’s supreme court judge Alexandre de Moraes a “dictator” and Australia’s eSafety commissioner Julie Inman Grant, a former Twitter employee, a “censorship commissar”.
In one of these disputes, an Australian legal hearing began on Friday to determine whether X must scrub footage of a violent attack in Sydney from the platform."
"It’s a simple proposition: no single country should be able to restrict speech across the entire internet. Any other approach invites a swift relay race to the bottom for online expression, giving governments and courts in countries with the weakest speech protections carte blanche to edit the internet.
Unfortunately, governments, including democracies that care about the rule of law, too often lose sight of this simple proposition. That’s why EFF, represented by Johnson Winter Slattery, has moved to intervene in support of X, formerly known as Twitter’s legal challenge to a global takedown order from Australia’s eSafety Commissioner. The Commissioner ordered X and Meta to take down a post with a video of a stabbing in a church. X complied by geo-blocking the post so Australian users couldn’t access it, but it declined to block it elsewhere. The Commissioner asked an Australian court to order a global takedown." https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2024/05/no-country-should-be-making-speech-rules-world
Zukunftsforscher Tristan Horx und Soziologieprofessorin Katja Rost sehen im zunehmenden Trend der #Dumbphones ein klares Signal gegen die digitale Dauerbeschallung. Und eine Chance, 👉 soziale Medien kritisch zu hinterfragen.
I've been feeling exactly like this comic, but I got a cheap retro alarm clock and started keeping my phone in the living room at night. It's really nice
@reillypascal oh keeping the phone out of the bedroom is a game changer. Especially for night owl types like me that have a hard time falling asleep.
I skipped the retro alarm clock in favor of setting alarms on my watch because of a tip I picked up from a sleep doctor on how to fall back asleep and defeat insomnia in the middle of the night - never look at the time. Something about that triggers exactly the wrong neurons and avoiding it can lull you back to lala land.
@stshank No E2EE in 1.0 because they want to get it out quickly, because some significant subset of users realllly want it… and then they're gonna think about doing this properly in the protocol later
Gods I love the modern #Internet.
Suddenly last week I started getting tons of emails from #Substack for some reason.
Thanks to the #Enshittification of the Internet apparently when a newsletter I once read moved to substack, Substack auto-creates an account for you and start pumping out newsletters. Without consent.
I had to log in, create a profile (thank Artemis only a name was required) and then move into account settings and delete the account.
@The_Icarian I am pretty damn sure it is illegal in Europe to do this btw.
Not that it matters as soon as i figured out what was going on, but the whole idea is so typical the modern Internet: A newsletter from a forum about movies I once read moves to Substack, and automatically they dig thru all the mail addresses and start sending out crap.
I hadn't even visited that page since Frozen came out, I think. I had completely forgotten about the forum at all.

@mkyral@amarok@svetandroida Ono by stačilo udělat cílení podle obsahu stránky, kde se má reklama zobrazit. Když si čtu článek o grilování, tak je jasné, že mě asi budou zajímat produkty na grilování a ne kojenecké potřeby. Jenže snaha je maximalizovat zisk a soukromí uživatelů má nulovou hodnotu, tak se sbírají obrovská množství dat, aby se to posunulo ještě dál.
@stefan More-embarrassing is the number of times I've gone looking for an answer on the Web, found a likely source, and while reading it gradually comes to realise that the author is... Past Me.
You spend enough time on the Internet, eventually you meet yourself as a stranger.
Every time I see a big mass of letters from someone on social media with "Three Words Are You..." fill in the blank, I always purposely find the least helpful words I can find and post them.
