I have seen these headlines at random intervals for years.

the underlying fact is true. some regulators are looking at something, and considering something.

but no serious action has ever been taken.

So let's stop sharing these "BIG ASS SHOCKER THING GONNA DROP SOON!!!" posts. They're stupid.

“However, it might seem a bit of a paradox to some when people are encouraging others to boycott the US on an American-owned social media platform.”

Kampf dem Spam: WhatsApp will Broadcast-Nachrichten stärker reglementieren

WhatsApp will die Broadcast-Funktion, mit der Nutzer viele Kontakte auf einmal erreichen können, einschränken. So soll vor Spam geschützt werden.

‘Connecting the world did not, in fact, convert illiberal societies to liberalism. After #Trump became president in 2016, many worried that the Internet instead made previously liberal societies more illiberal, drenching publics with #disinformation... sketchy arguments and weak empirical evidence [were used] to accuse #Facebook and other social media services of having allowed Russian propagandists to manipulate Americans’ https://www.foreignaffairs.com/united-states/brewing-transatlantic-tech-war

Eine Bitte an die Community: Benutzt keine URL-Shortener, die dann zu Datensaugern führen, also YouTube/Google, FB/Insta, Twitter, TikTok etc.

Schon der reine Aufruf einer solchen Site bedeutet Datenspionage.

Danke.

Dear Community, may I ask you not to use URL shorteners that point to data-grabbing commercial websites like YouTube/Google, FB/Insta, Twitter, TikTok etc.?

Simply accessing such websites leads to data mining.

Thank you.

Oh god. #Facebook have integrated #MetaAI into #WhatsApp and #Instagram.

2v2 ...interessanterweise darf ich mir #Facebook zur Zeit von Außen anschauen da meine #Passwürter von vor einem Jahr nicht mehr von #Meta akzeptiert werden. Eine interessante Situation, die ich niemandem an den Hals wünschen möchte und die mir sicher ein paar höchst unterhaltsame Tage bescheren wird.
Leute, falls Ihr mal Facebook-Profile hattet, seid Euch bewußt das dieser Kackverein sie jederzeit wieder aus dem Keller holen kann ohne Euch davon irgendwas zu sagen.

#Facebook hat seine #Geschäftsbedingungen geändert und aus diesem Anlass alle User um #Zustimmung gefragt - also, wirklich alle User. Auch die die vor einem Jahr ihre Profile gelöst haben. Dafür wurden zum Beispiel meine Profile alle wieder aus irgendeinem Archiv gezogen und aktiv geschaltet. Ich selbst habe die Frohe Botschaft durch einen Rechter-Verwerter erfahren, der auf einem meiner Konten Urheberrechtlich geschütztes Material entdeckt haben will(1v2) #Meta #Datenschutz #Urheberrecht #DSGVO

You know, when things like #myspace and #facebook started popping up, I was smart enough at about 13 years old to think "Hey, I bet you this is gonna get used to manipulate people politically in my lifetime," and usually got ignored by folks older than me as some kind of kid-like conspiracy.

Nobody took the idea seriously until it happened.

It's likely the most dangerous #tech that exists in the world. Maybe more so than nukes.

I was smarter at 13 than most Americans.
