Figurez vous que ce sont des joueurs de #PokémonGo qui modifient OpenStreetMaps (sur lequel le jeu est basé) pour créer des fausses plages pour faire apparaître des Pokémon rares. Parce qu'ils sont trop fatigués pour aller trouver une vraie plage. https://www.404media.co/pokemon-go-players-invent-fake-beaches-on-real-maps-to-catch-rare-wigletts/
La communauté a mis un filtre pour voir les changements faits par de "nouveaux utilisateurs" qui envoyaient clairement des dizaines de fausses cartes. Ils en sont réduit à expliquer aux utilisateurs que OpenStreetMap est une VRAIE carte et ne pas mettre de fausses plages.
Comme quoi l'invasion de faux contenus ce n'est pas que sur #Twitter ou #Facebook. 😅 #osm
Have you noticed your Facebook feed being taken over by AI spam recently? @jasonkoebler has spent four months looking into it — what’s real, what’s not and what is a mixture of the two, creating what he calls “a disastrous website where there is little social connection at all.” Read more about his investigation over at @404mediaco.
AI spam is being recommended using this system -is showing up in ppl’s feeds. I've seen this on my own feed +seen it on 2 brand new, burner Facebook accts I created to research this story -specifically sought out AI-gen. content & “liked” it & left comments on it. Within a few hrs -vast maj. of all content being recommended to me was the same bizarre AI spam -has been repeatedly going viral both on Facebook & off of it.
Jedes Mal, wenn ich mich (aus beruflichen Gründen) in den Kommentarbereichen von Plattformen wie TikTok, Instagram und Co. umsehe, habe ich das Gefühl, in eine dunkle Welt zu blicken. Was dort an Hass, Dummheit und anderen negativen Äußerungen verbreitet wird, ist für mich kaum zu ertragen. Das geht weit über Meinungsäußerungen hinaus. Es ist einfach abscheulich. 🙈
Here's the conundrum....
I am not fond of #Facebook as a platform, but I love my #friends.
This 100 is only part of all who have messaged me on my #Birthday so far.
– »Die EU-Kommission leitet ein Verfahren gegen Meta ein«
– »Brüssel: Meta lässt sich für russische Desinformation bezahlen«
– »EU-Kommission eröffnet Verfahren gegen Meta«
…und wird dies einschreitende Einwirkung haben, so wie die USA TikTok unterbinden möchte oder wie einen der vielen IT & Datenschutz Klagen, die dann so gut wie in's Lehre laufen?

The EU is getting ready to launch an investigation into Meta over its handling of election-related content, reports @engadget
Full details of the investigation are expected later this week, but concerns have reportedly been raised about “deceptive advertising and political content” on Meta’s platforms. EU officials are also unhappy about Meta’s plan to shut down CrowdTangle in August, a move the researchers and fact checkers who use the tool have called a “direct threat to election integrity efforts around the world.”
L’UE indagherà su #Meta per disinformazione elettorale prima delle elezioni di giugno
Secondo il rapporto, Bruxelles agirà entro questa settimana contro i proprietari di #Facebook e #Instagram per le politiche sulla pubblicità ingannevole e sui contenuti politici.
