@matt Tangential but I know someone who recently created an account to use marketplace. Almost immediately it suggested she friend members of her estranged family who live in another country.
Kleiner Reminder!
In Kürze beginnen #facebook und #instagram ja damit, eure Bilder, Posts und Nachrichten für das Training ihrer eigenen #KI zu verarbeiten.
Sind Daten einmal in KI Training eingeflossen, können diese aus heutiger Sicht nicht wieder entfernt werden.
Will man das nicht, kann zu dieser Verarbeitung Einspruch eingelegt werden.
"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"
Ok, so I got the Facebook email today about the sneaky change in their TOS to steal more user data. This time for "AI".
That's it. I deleted my account. I wasn't using it anyway, but I kept it to keep Messenger working. I created a new Messenger account instead for the handful of cases where I still need it.
I had not yet accepted the changed TOS from last year, and had to "consent" to those outrageous terms too just to get to the delete button. Clearly illegal.
I stopped using facebook more than a year ago, and this year I have been deleting my posts in a daily exercise of excising my memories from that ghastly platform.
Today, out of curiosity, I had a quick count: my feed was 90% "for you", "follow", "join", and 10% posts from people in my circle of friends.
I don't know if my friends don't post anymore, or if the algorithm prefers not to display their posts.
Occasionally I revisit Facebook and I can find my friends' posts but it takes more effort than it used to.
The site will show me more of whatever/ whoever I last viewed rather than a bit of everyone I followed. If I search for friends I see more of them.
The constant suggestions to join more groups and add more people is quite off-putting.
@jacklaridian Pidgin used to have plugins that could talk to Messenger? Not sure if that's still the case. I think its still going? Software from an earlier era, though.
@jacklaridian@Uraael You wouldn’t though if you‘d still connect to their service. The client doesn’t matter that much in the end.
I have the same problem with some of my contacts. A few stubbornly remain there (prolly bc their whole family or something is there), but I like them enough to not be like „sayonara, suckers, see you never.“.
I‘d love to finally delete that messenger app, though. I have some success with the slow approach: I have Messenger only on my phone, so Discord and Signal messages reach me much faster and I answer them immediately. While Messenger texts lie a few days to stew before I answer. And then probably in person, when I see the person. If they complain, I tell them about Signal and who else in our Circle is already on there.
More and more get annoyed enough by it, to install it just to reach me ^^ and get connected with the rest of us this way.
My mom is 77 though and I am happy she knows how to use this app. I will very likely not get her to get used to another anymore.
I spoke out against sharenting for years at #cscw when research was presented on parents' sharing, and how good it was for moms to use #facebook because it connected them to each other while isolated. I was constantly the debbie downer arguing wtf privacy implications and autonomy of the child... But the research was #facebook funded so just kept beating the same yay-socials drumbeat.
Auf der Suche nach einem Publikum gehen einige Medien den Schritt ins Fediverse. Ein Versuch, unabhängiger von den großen Gatekeepern zu werden.
Falls hier jemand auch ein Konto bei #Facebook oder #Instagram hat: Ab 26. Juni will Betreiberkonzern #Meta die Inhalte von Beiträgen fürs Training eigener KI einsetzen. Man kann widersprechen. Doch Meta entscheidet, ob es den Widerspruch annimmt.
Auf unserer Internetseite haben wir Infos dazu und Vorschläge für Argumente, die man ins "Einspruchformular" schreiben kann:
@Shild Das bekamen bei Facebook ganz viele Leute, die ich kenne, auch wenn sie eingeloggt waren.
(Abgesehen davon, dass ich Meta auch bei Annahme keinen Millimeter weit traue.)
I got a notification on #Facebook that #Meta plans to use my posts etc. for training #AI and said they were using the Legitimate Interest justification for doing it.
Really sick of these big tech companies.
Absolute parasites.
"You have the right to object to Meta using your personal info to train AI..."
[BUT]
"...We may still process information about you to develop and improve AI at Meta, even if you object or don’t use our Products and services"
