Meta Pol Ads Incited Violence.
FB approved ads containing known slurs towards Muslims in IN: “let’s burn this vermin” & “Hindu blood is spilling, these invaders must be burned” +Hindu supremacist lang./disinfo. re pol ldrs.
I mean ”Show me the incentives and I’ll show you the results” has never been clearer.
I bet even now at least ten thousand 12-year old kids are studying their retention metrics underneath the blanket, hiding from their parents, trying to figure out how to squueze out an extra second from their next content.
My mental health thanks me for deleting my TikTok account. It's such a relief to get off that platform. Some good things, sure, but the bad ones were too much. Anyway, it's over. It's finally over. 🙌 ❤️
Fragwürdige Methoden von "Dating Coaches" in sozialen Netzwerken
Viele junge Männer wünschen sich eine Beziehung. In kurzen Videos auf TikTok und Instagram geben "Dating Coaches" vor, dabei zu helfen. Die Methoden sind fragwürdig bis gefährlich. Von Sebastian Vesper.
I guess making money somewhat honestly by having customers that actually pay for a service with at least some guarantees of privacy and safety is not as lucrative as having an open platform network where people are tricked into giving out all their data while they are spied upon for whatever reasons.
Na gut, dies ist nun in Schweden aber wann wird es hier mal aufgeklärt, dass es auch in jeglichem Land Trollfabriken von den Rechten geben kann (oder gibt)?
»Politisches Erdbeben in Schweden wegen Skandal um Trollfabrik:
Enthüllungen über eine von den Schwedendemokraten betriebene Trollfabrik haben ein politisches Erdbeben ausgelöst.«
A French draft law, passed Monday, would let citizens vote in local elections after 10 years' residency in New Caledonia, prompting opposition from independence activists worried it will dilute the representation of indigenous people. The violent demonstrations that have ensued in the South Pacific island of 270,000 have killed at least five people and injured hundreds.
In response to the protests, the government suspended the popular video-sharing app — owned by Beijing-based ByteDance and favored by young people — as part of state-of-emergency measures alongside the deployment of troops and an initial 12-day curfew.
French Prime Minister Gabriel Attal didn’t detail the reasons for shutting down the platform. The local telecom regulator began blocking the app earlier on Wednesday."
Today I learned the #Japanese equivalent of the #English phrase 'Food Porn' is '飯テロ' or 'Meshi Tero', where the 'tero' part is a borrow word for 'terrorism'.
The literal translation is 'Food Terrorism'. Consider that in relation to the Japanese penchant for filling their #SocialMedia streams with pictures of every single thing they eat.
Interesting approach. But it's commercial, not decentralized, and is backed by Sam Altman and more Big Tech honchos, so my first reaction is skepticism.
O, ex-#Twitter znowu ma problemy u niektorych osob - u jednych nie dziala bez zadnego dokladniejszego komunikatu, a u innych ponoc problemem jest wlaczona ochrona sledzenia w #Firefox 🙃
A #CNN review of footage, #SocialMedia posts, and interviews found that some of the most dramatic attacks caught on camera that night were committed by people outside #UCLA – not the #university students and faculty who were eventually arrested.
"Republican Gov. Greg Abbott... pardoning Daniel Perry, the former Army sergeant convicted in the fatal #shooting of a protester during a #BlackLivesMatter march...
From what I gather, today Facebook unilaterally flagged heaps of Humanitix links and events as spam and deleted them.
That's people's livelihoods on the line.
But it's the price we pay for collectively trusting one centralised company with our entire social lives online. Especially one that gives its decisions over to algorithms rather than humans.
Someone on FB unfriended me and they wanted me to know why. Ummm. So I said ok... think they wanted an apology for a comment I made on one of their posts instead of an ok 🤷🏻♀️ I do not want to be dragged into their drama. #socialMedia Is even more confusing for #ActuallyAutistic people 😳
Nieuzywany #facebook zglupial u mnie do tego stopnia, ze zaczyna mi sugerowac do sledzenia fan page z jakimis zdjeciami wygenerowanymi przez #AI (najczesciej zdjecia mniej lub bardziej ubranych kobiet 😆 )
Booooze, gdybysmy tylko mieli alternatywe na fejsa... :kappa:
