Since Trump’s election last fall, fund-raisers & #lobbyists have been steering #corporations & #donors to a buffet of options for unlimited giving, some of which are less overtly political or allow anonymous donations, that can bring #access to #Trump.

Trump’s inaugural cmte raised a record-shattering $239M, including about $18M from #crypto interests & $1M each from #tech giants like #Meta & #Amazon that had drawn his ire in the past & were looking to smooth things over….

Abuso di posizione dominante. AI su WhatsApp. Indaga il Garante

Il provvedimento, si legge in un comunicato stampa, riguarda la decisione di #Meta, in vigore da marzo 2025, di pre-installare il proprio servizio di intelligenza artificiale Meta #AI all'interno di #WhatsApp, collocandolo in posizione prominente e integrandolo nella barra di ricerca senza che vi sia stata una scelta esplicita da parte degli utenti.

@aral This kind of behavior from #Meta would merit #FediBlock from #Mastodon. The #socialWebFoundation is an impossibility

@kgw I wonder if it is a #Canada 🇨🇦 thing‽ I know #Meta banned Canadian News sites a while ago, & I think anything with the .ca domain is automatically filtered, blocked or removed.

‘many social media companies, including #Meta, #YouTube and #TikTok, are relying on alternative techniques that use machine-learning…to “infer” a user’s age based on how they use the site and who they communicate with.

Just did a quick and dirty spreadsheet to find out what percentage of instances and users are on Mastodon 4.4 (pre-quote-posts) and 4.5 (quote-posts), and it's like this:

4.4 (pre-quote-posts): 29.7% of instances, 9.1% of users.
4.5 (quote-posts): 1.2% of instances, 11.0% of users.

Source data: https://instances.social/list/old
