Facebook e Threads bloccano gli annunci sul cambiamento climatico, poi bloccano un giornale che riferisce sugli annunci, poi un blogger che riferisce sulla cancellazione del giornale (littlegreenfootballs.com) Italian

Meta ha detto che la cancellazione sono stati necessari a causa di un “rischio di sicurezza informatica”.

Well, this is a transcendent level of evil: Facebook bought a VPN company and deployed it, in part, to spy on its competitor's users.

It's a reminder that VPNs have their own risks, beyond technical ones if operated incompetently -- namely, that you have to trust the VPN company itself.

UPDATED to reflect which users were being spied on.

So yeah, this is #Mastodon.

There is no algorithm here.

Nobody is serving you clickbaity horseshit all day long to keep you angry, to keep you doomscrolling so you can be sold ads or be told what to think.

Nobody is scraping your personal data to sell to anyone willing to pay for it.

Nobody has a financial interest in making you hate other people on here.

It might take a while, but you can curate your feed from people you want to follow instead of being force fed the stream…

I seriously don't understand why people recommend “be kind to each other” when the other is someone who condones shitting in our public drinking water.

(Yes, this is about who we let into the federation. #defederateThreads)

Since #Facebook/‍#Meta is apparently going to start testing #Fediverse/‍#Mastodon integration for their #P92/‍#Barcelona‍/‍#Threads “platform” soon, let's do another round of reminders of what this entails and why their instance and IPs should be blocked now with extreme prejudice.
