Data obtained from whistleblowers in 2025 by investigative news organisation Drop Site News revealed that Meta complied with 94 per cent of takedown requests issued by Israel since 7 October 2023 – and on average took only 30 seconds to do so. A December 2023 report by Human Rights Watch found that Meta removed pro-Palestinian content that did not violate its guidelines.

Thank you for your service, canine comrade.

Ha!

They got caught, and now they're trying to pretend they didn't have a clue how creepy and threatening their hired minions were being.

@thomasfuchs @woo

I concur. I've been hesitating to post too voluminously about audio on a thread initially about the magic of the continued usefulness of old HTML pages, but since a few people have been welcoming my side-journey to audio format longevity...

Yes, I concur with @thomasfuchs about the usefulness of FLAC. It's unsurprisingly the format I've standardized on for PCM audio–offers a useful amount of compression while being lossless, includes good tagging support.

@thomasfuchs @woo

I'll forever resent and avoid using Apple Lossless (AKA ALAC), because it was transparently invented by Apple to mimic the functionality of the already-existing FLAC so that Apple-bundled software could store music in a technically comparable format yet not support the emerging losslessly-compressed PCM standard used by absolutely everyone but Apple, FLAC.

This was obviously done to make it painful for users habituated to using Apple's music software to buy music elsewhere.

@woo @thomasfuchs

AIFF has been around in its current form since 1989...
