"A Winnipeg man who says he was scammed out of hundreds of dollars...

"when he hit a problem moving his Facebook account over to the new phone, his wife did an online search and found what appeared to be a phone number for Facebook customer support"

He tried to verify it:

"The answer he got in Messenger from the 'Meta AI' artificial intelligence search tool was that it was 'indeed a legitimate Facebook support number."

Looks like Zuck's billionaire tech-bro Threads is going to start hiding all pro-democracy political content now. #BoycottMETA #BoycottGoogle #BoycottMusk

It's impossible to prove, but I don't think Trump could have won in 2016 without Facebook. Every Republican I've known from high school and college has been very active on Facebook in adulthood. It's where a lot of them get their "news." I've seen former friends and classmates post disinformation there. It's also where QAnon spread (even in seemingly unlikely places, like new moms groups), where Dan Bongino spews .

That's why I . That includes etc.

Meta is a criminal operation controlled by one of the world's foremost anti-humanity scumbags. Fuck that guy.

«An advocacy group is calling on Canadians to and later this week.
The group began asking people Monday to stop posting content on Meta's platforms on Aug. 23 and 24 to show that Canadians won't be pushed around by , which decided to pull news from publishers from its platforms in response to federal legislation.»

Rasta,

@iuculano CTV News would do better reporting if they listed their website, instead of giving people false hope that they need Meta for a link to updates in news? I use a News Reader, and haven't been to Meta in years, and not in Twitter since Nov 2022. My news has not been interrupted. They should just boycott Meta for all the horrible things it represents

Il problema di #Meta non è l'azienda in sé, ma l'asservimento culturale con sindrome di stoccolma delle persone tenute nell'ignoranza di pratiche aziendali provatamente strumentali al nazionalismo, al discorso d'odio e in alcuni paesi perfino al genocidio fomentato da discriminazioni su base etnico/religiosa.

Poi ci sono quelli che se ne fregano comunque pur non ignorando, ma questo non legittima marchette pro-Meta come questa che vedo oggi su @ilpost
