@jd@todon.eu #Meta 's #Facebook is a data-harvesting racket which is amping up censorship as the people rise up #Minneapolis and across the world. They have suspended me twice in the past ten days and now require "verification" via their app on an account I have had for three years. #surveilllance #surveillancecapitalism #fuckmeta #fuckelon #fuckice

Facebook and Google's pervasive surveillance
Facebook and Google's omnipresent surveillance of billions of people poses a systemic threat to human rights, Amnesty
International warned in a new report as it called for a radical transformation of the tech giants’ core business model.
Surveillance Giants lays out how the surveillance-based business model of Facebook and Google is inherently incompatible with
the right to privacy and poses a systemic threat to a range of other rights including freedom of opinion and expression, freedom
of thought, and the right to equality and non-discrimination.
“Google and Facebook dominate our modern lives — amassing unparalleled power over the digital world by harvesting and
monetizing the personal data of billions of people. Their insidious control of our digital lives undermines the very essence of
privacy and is one of the defining human rights challenges of our era,” said Kumi Naidoo, Secretary General of Amnesty
International.

Emails show Zuckerberg questioned research on Meta's harmful effects after repercussions on teenagers' mental health
https://www.theverge.com/report/874176/meta-zuckerberg-new-mexico-email-teen-girls-research

“One day after The Wall Street Journal published a blockbuster story about Meta’s own dismal findings about teen girls’ mental health on Instagram, CEO Mark Zuckerberg wondered whether Meta should change how it studies its platforms’ potential harms.

@giacomo All good except the mistaken suggestion that #KOSA could make anything better. KOSA would prevent any effective access to privacy, including the minimum necessary to bypass ideological censorship or to stay safe from abusively controlling parents, while also facilitating government censorship and wholesale identity theft against adults.

It would render Signal and Mastodon—two of the most important technologies for free expression—unlawful.

Prohibiting addiction-oriented algorithms would be beneficial. However, enforcing online age verification (as opposed to on-device parental controls) is always harmful: in a multitude of ways.

You can't wait for whistlebowers to be sure the algorithm employed are designed to addict.

So "prohibiting #addiction-oriented algorithms" is in no way enough: we need to make their application unfeasable.

Let's ban any centralized #SocialNetworks.

Let's outlaw any software that transfer one bit of data more than what is demonstrably required to fulfill users' request.

Let's completely ban #cookies, software fingerprinting, tracking, targeted ads and everything that fluel #SurveillanceCapitalism.

Let's ban "free services" based users' data collection and users' manipulation, starting from #GMail free tiers.

Let's break #BigTech like #Google or #Meta so that they cannot both provide services to users and sell ads or data.

This will work.

#AgeVerification is just giving these companies further data point even on people they cannot directly spy. It will further damage worldwide societies and #democracy withou any benefit to kids and other vulnerable people.

#meta is definitely on par with #palantir when it comes to disgusting, predatory, appalling behavior to its own users. Looks like the bottom of the barrel is not reserved for the smoking industry anymore, but to #bigtech

Meta가 자체 AI 'slop feed'를 위한 전용 앱을 공개한다는 소식입니다. AI 기반 피드를 별도 애플리케이션으로 분리해 제공함으로써 사용자 접근성, 개인화 및 콘텐츠 노출 방식이 바뀔 가능성이 있으며, 메타의 플랫폼 내 AI 서비스 확대 및 제품 전략 변화 신호로 해석됩니다.

¿Sabían que el escándalo de Cambridge Analytica reveló cómo los datos de millones de usuarios de Facebook fueron utilizados para construir perfiles psicológicos sin su consentimiento y manipular procesos electorales?

En 2018 se expuso que la consultora británica Cambridge Analytica recolectó información de aproximadamente 87 millones de perfiles de forma ilícita. A través de un test de personalidad, la empresa obtuvo acceso no solo a los datos de quienes respondieron, sino también a los de toda su red de contactos, permitiéndoles segmentar a la población y dirigir micro-propaganda diseñada para explotar sus miedos y prejuicios específicos.

Este caso demostró políticamente cómo las redes sociales privativas operan como herramientas de control de masas. Sus algoritmos están diseñados para amplificar mensajes que resuenan con la arquitectura psicológica del individuo, facilitando la manipulación de la opinión pública a gran escala. Bajo este modelo de negocio, el usuario deja de ser el cliente para convertirse en el recurso extraído, reforzando la necesidad de transitar hacia plataformas libres donde la privacidad no sea una mercancía.

Esta es una razón más por la cual es más saludable y beneficioso el usar redes sociales libres, abiertas y federadas como puede ser el fediverso y Mastodon.
