Mark Zuckerberg wants you to think he’s a new man because he wears baggy clothes and gold chains.
But the reality is that he’s embracing right-wing politics and spurning critics while presenting himself as a great future builder to distract from the ongoing harms of his platforms. Don’t fall for the deception.
"A febre do #marketingdigital, especialmente no #Instagram, não é apenas um problema econômico, mas também acarreta consequências imediatas e futuras para a democracia."
O fato de ser #MetaFree (não usar produtos #Meta) desde 2016 me tornou um caso de auto-estudo etnografico. #PabloMarçal é tema que não consegue furar meus filtros, e se configura quase como não assunto. Seria Pablo Marçal um típico #InstaCandidato? O resultado dessa eleição será importante benchmark.
It seems after all that Meta used Django to build Threads 🧵
> "… Instagram uses Python (Django) for its backend. By using the same backend for Threads, we could leverage a lot of the existing tech stack for Threads and reuse most of our existing data models, business logic, security features, and server infrastructure.…"
if again, that seems a little paranoid and hysterical: everyone needs an appreciation of what meta is, what it is driven by, and what it does. as fully evident
More than even the threat of #Meta, if the #Fediverse does not address its anti-Blackness in the general populace, it will rot the community from the inside out.
You can hate me for mentioning it if you want, but you know it's true. Deep down, you can feel it, too. Sometimes, we’re afraid to admit a problem we don't immediately know how to fix.
And that's fine—it's human. But history is clear about what happens if we don't figure this out.
Zucks $META aka #Facebook #Meta Passwords Stored in Plain Text 🙄
Meta has been fined $101 million after it was discovered that up to 600 million Facebook and Instagram passwords had been stored in plain text since 2012
#CNBC flagged posts with the false information to Meta. A company spokesperson said, “Meta has sent them to third-party fact-checkers for further review.”'
#meta#facebook#threads#instagram#socialmedia#security “Officials in Ireland have fined Meta $101 million for storing hundreds of millions of user passwords in plaintext and making them broadly available to company employees.”
Not partnering with trillion-dollar people-farming, human-rights-eroding, and democracy destroying surveillance capitalists like Meta should be the lowest of low bars when it comes to organisations that purport to work on ethical technology but, clearly, even that bar is just too fucking high for some.
