Notices tagged with facebook

I think I’ve stopped using #Facebook hard enough (I still use it to visit Groups) that I’ve now fallen firmly into “generic user” category for ads.

And the majority of ads I receive are…guns and gun-related paraphernalia, Christian nationalist-adjacent jewelry, and pro-Trump-branded products.

Whenever I click on “why am I seeing this ad?” the only criteria they ever display is “18+ and living in the US”. So I guess that’s what most US Facebook customers see these days, by default.

For a #WordPress site with no or little budget: What plugins are available to make posts available through #Mastodon, #BlueSky or even #Facebook (non-profit website, lots of older people, like me, in the target), without having to pay monthly subscription fees?

Hier im #Fediverse bist du nicht das #Produkt im #Datensilo, dass umsonst für eine Plattform für #Werbung arbeitet um auch noch ein wenig #Inhalt darum herum zu bieten aber nur in ihrem #WalledGarden.

Das du zahlst hier auch nicht mit deinen persönlichen #Daten um mit interessanten #Menschen zu interagieren.

Auf #Instagram, #Twitter, #TikTok oder #Facebook etc. geht es nie um dich, und dein Schaffen, sie wollen nur dein Bestes: Deine Zeit & deine Daten & dein Geld!

Hello Canada,

As a Meta (Facebook) employee. - Over the next 2 days, you're going to see 1 of 3 things.

1) A sudden spike of pro-conservative post. The aim is to make the conservatives seem popular. Much will not be from actual Canadians.

2) Conservative Ads.

2) Your mainstream media is going to focus on the conservatives, as if they are the primary party in your country. Even if the news about them is bad, the aim is to bring them front and center.

OK donc maintenant #Facebook veut qu'on explique pourquoi un retire un consentement qu'on a jamais donné en premier lieu ?

que fait la @cnil ? (non, n'invoquez pas @aeris c'est juste pour la forme hein)

I stand corrected. Yes, Uber is a sh!t company, but apparently so are many of their drivers - and you should still not use them.

"Mark #Zuckerberg Says #SocialMedia Is Over

During testimony at #Meta’s antitrust trial, the #Facebook founder’s argument was, in so many words, that platforms like his are not what they used to be"

Huh

That's so weird Mark

And who is one of those primarily responsible for the #enshittification of centralized corporate social media?

Do you have any idea who that might be?

🤔

"According to Wynn-Williams, Facebook actually built an extensive censorship and surveillance system for the Chinese state – spies, cops and military – to use against Chinese Facebook users, and FB users globally. They promise to set up caches of global FB content in China that the Chinese state can use to monitor all Facebook activity, everywhere, with the implication that they'll be able to spy on private communications, and censor content for non-Chinese users.

Despite all of this, Facebook is never given access to China. However, the Chinese state is able to use the tools Facebook built for it to attack independence movements, the free press and dissident uprisings in Hong Kong and Taiwan."

For a good review. He read the new #Facebook takedown “Careless People” and apparently all the executives are even worse people than I had assumed.

Zuckerberg stifled Instagram because he loves Facebook, Instagram founder says

Just discovered #Meta is using my purged #Facebook accounts (pre-2017) for #AI training. Getting emails about "account being used for AI" despite having terminated them years ago. Apparently "removing" just means they keep everything while locking you out. The kicker? To object to this use, they expect me to log into these nonexistent accounts! The audacity of exploiting data from accounts that should've been expunged years ago is infuriating. Meta's data practices remain as predatory as ever.

If you're a #facebook user, you can object to your information being used for #aItraining: https://www.facebook.com/help/contact/6359191084165019
