#Facebook front office grabbed great publicity from its bold #billion dollar public #pledge to help solve the #BayArea #housing crisis, then after the cameras, clicks and likes disappeared so did it's phony commitment, as #Meta quietly cut the funding teat and #ghosted the topic.

Money did flow at first , as public entities provided matching funds, but #Zuggerfugger's #PaloAlto #SocialMefia #boardroom backed shills quietly cut and run, committing far less than a quarter of the publicly pledged total. The vast majority of money from Meta, a company lacking a corporate charitable arm, came back to their HQ, repaid as low 2% interest rate loans of up to $15m to developers, not actual donations.

5 years after the flurry of #publicity, the unfulfilled propaganda pipe dream went deferred, projects were few and far between, impacts largely lost and untold in a region still desperately in need of more affordable housing.

The #PirateBay founders must be looking at the arguments from #OpenAI and #Meta on why they should be allowed to ignore copyright and authorship laws with a certain level of astonishment.

👋 Ich habe gerade #Einspruch gegen die Verwendung meiner Daten für #KI bei #Meta (#Facebook und #Instagram) eingelegt und würde Euch das auch empfehlen 💚

Alles, was wir gepostet haben, will der Konzern ab dem 27. Mai zum Trainieren seiner KI verwenden. Dem können wir noch heute und morgen ohne Angabe von Gründen widersprechen. Danach sind unsere #Daten in der KI und lassen sich nicht mehr löschen.

@noybeu Thank you for taking a stand against this and for providing clear information on how to object!

Your work is crucial in holding companies like #Meta accountable.

We ❤️ you fighting for users' rights.

STOP using corporate platforms! 🚨🛑

From demanding "real names", official IDs, and face scans destroying pseudonymity,

To carefully keeping track of everyone you interact with,

To tracking everything you do on the internet *outside* these platforms linking it back to your profile without your knowledge,

They will now utilize, process, tag, and judge everything you post to feed their AI models or sell it back to someone else's models.

It will only get *worse* from now.

You have no control whatsoever on what will be done with this AI-compiled profile of you later on.

The only solution to stay safe from their insatiable greed is to leave and delete,
before they eat you whole.

Always call them creep glasses.

please boost!!! :boostRequest:

like unironically? i'm thinking of adding a small section to the end of https://fedipact.online for some tasteful sponsors. i mean hell joinmastodon.org has a similar thingy. the page gets a fuckload of views, like over a million lifetime so far. i know this probably sounds really silly but i am so goddamn sick and tired of being thoroughly fucking broke constantly and this would be a nice way to be compensated for my efforts with this project. like i am literally always just barely getting by on a shoestring budget in my day-to-day life and it's really goddamn stressful!!! i hate being poor!!!!! it makes me worse at maintaining the fedipact list, and everything else too

for a minimum of $420 monthly you can be featured on the fedipact website!!! contact me on here or via email at v4nt4bl4ck@protonmail.com to discuss!

DO NOTE HOWEVER THAT SPONSORSHIP DOES NOT EQUAL INFLUENCE. FEDIPACT IS FULLY INDEPENDENT.

Meta (Facebook) has been working with both ICE, DOGE, and Homeland.

Meta has been aiding these departments to develop a comprehensive list of residents, living in and around the United States. That list has included every detail of your account, including your expressed political affiliation. Meta AI has been used to not only identify people, but also your general location. All our mobile apps, regardless of platform, have been used to further monitor people even when not using the app.

Regarding Meta’s camera glasses (not calling them “smart” because they’re not).

In 2013 I worked on these glasses. Not Meta’s, but an Intel version. We killed the project after generative research. Why? Because it became clear how invasive they would be.

We couldn’t find a way around that. So ethics said stop.

Meta says they don’t care. Of course.
