Been getting some VERY specific ads on Facebroke despite the fact that I don't have the app on my phone and only check it on my desktop, where I'm always alone.
This really irritates me… Clearview facial recognition AI used nearly 1M times by US police, it tells the BBC - the company has a database of 30 billion faces, scrapped without user permission from sites like #facebook and #socialmedia platforms. So state & local authorities now have access to all of our faces, our internet habits, our purchasing habits, our communications, even our front doors through #ring cameras. When is enough enough? https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-65057011 #surveillance #police #policing

#Clearview #AI used nearly 1m times by US police, it tells the BBC
"CEO Hoan Ton-That also revealed Clearview now has 30bn images scraped from platforms such as #facebook taken without users' permissions.
The company has been repeatedly fined millions of dollars in #Europe and #Australia for breaches of privacy.
Critics argue that the police's use of Clearview puts everyone into a "perpetual police line-up".
"Whenever they have a photo of a suspect, they will compare it to your face," says Matthew Guariglia from the @eff says. "It's far too invasive.""

Meta’s Anti-Piracy Deal: How Facebook & Broadcasters Kill Live Pirate Streams

🇫🇷🇪🇺 Jugée pour avoir traité Macron d'«ordure» sur Facebook 📰 http://urlr.me/q6GP5
Sadly not surprising, but still utterly unbelievable:
"My 6-Year-Old Son Died. Then the Anti-vaxxers Found Out.
Opponents of COVID vaccines terrorize grieving families on social media.
[...]
Strangers swiped the photo from #Twitter and wrote vile things on it. They’d mined my tweets, especially ones where I had written about the public-health benefits of #vaccination. Someone needed to make me pay for vaccinating my #child, one person insinuated. Another said my other #children would be next if they were #vaccinated too."
#tiktok has harvested our data and used to spy on us there is no denying that but the damage #Twitter and #Facebook has done is catastrophic. For example the day RoeVWade was overturned women across the country cried in grief women were dying because doctors and nurses refused to care for them even if they had miscarriages and complications because of their pregnancy. On the day Roe was overturned I cried and men like me don't get pregnant and I rarely cry. I can still feel negative emotions come back even though I can control my emotions I can't control when the negative comes back it's like dealing with long Covid but mentally and all this started in 2016 the day Trump won.
Republicans are complete hypocrites you can't ban #tiktok without banning #Facebook #Twitter and a 20 year prison sentence just for using VPN seriously wtf is this we supposed to be a democracy not acting like China. While I support President Biden and the democrats I will not support this legislation its wrong immoral and hypocrisy
I had a commercial saying that come up on a podcast and I was like “didn’t that ship sail months ago?”
It’s a solution in search of a problem that just creates more problems. Such a weird direction for #Facebook to take.
Robert Marc #Lehmann #Meeresbiologe und #YouTube #influenzer der selbstverständlich auch auf #Instagram und #Facebook vertreten ist, ständig um die #Welt reist hat mal eben 12.000 Bücher drucken lassen, die auf Paletten geliefert wurden und in einer scheinbar klimatisierten Halle gelagert werden und später dann wahrscheinlich in kleinen Mengen versandt werden, ruft auf zum Protest gegen #willowproject. Genau mein Humor

Sarà comunque molto difficile che le persone caccino il denaro dopo che per decenni hai dato le cose gratis, arricchendoti con i loro dati e farcendo tutta l'esperienza con pubblicità ogni 2 post e algoritmi che decidevano cosa dovevi vedere.
"...la lenta fine della gratuità dei social media è in realtà da imputare a #Apple, che nella primavera del 2021 aveva aggiunto la funzione App Tracking Transparency a #ios dando agli utenti la possibilità di rifiutare il tracciamento delle loro azioni da parte delle app, andando a colpire proprio il meccanismo che permetteva a #Facebook, #Instagram e altri servizi simili di raccogliere dati personali per mostrare pubblicità più profittevoli...."
Che ne pensate?
https://www.ilpost.it/2023/03/02/social-network-gratuiti-pagamento/
I didn't think #Facebook could get worse but it did. There were already "sponsored" posts in the feed (adverts) but you could hide them if they got too much.
Now intrusive loud adverts spring up in the middle of every video.
Sometimes this happens in the middle of a sentence. One minute you are listening to an interesting commentary and the next you are plunged into an advert, with no option but to scroll on down.
It also occurred to me how #Popular #Twitter had become, on par w/ #Facebook and #Instagram, both of which have always repulsed me w/ their #Popularity. I don't do something because "Everyone else is doing it."
I hope that #Facebook throws every single cent they have at the #Metaverse, because that thing is gonna fail miserably.
El 20 de julio del 2020, retomé un proyecto que tuve en el pasado, desde el 2008
Se trata de tomar, y ,lograr "revelar" las fotos de mi Game Boy Camera, al principio lo logŕe, conectando un cable al puerto LPT de impresora y un programita escrito
en BASIC, todo bien, todo contento, fue una gran hazaña en su momento... Fuí feliz
Después, pude programar un emulador de impresora, usando primero #Arduino , poco tiempo pasado, #ESP32, estuvo mucho mejor, el tiempo pasa y la nostalgia crecía...
Pasaron los años y lo olvidé, hasta esas fechas, para olvidarlo de nuevo
En este hilo iré subiendo todas mis fotos, actuales y pasadas, que en su momento estuvieron en #Instagram, en #Facebook , después en #Pixelfed y ahora aquí, en mi perfil
Comenzaré con la primera foto que logré sacar

@dangillmor And because TikTok is a Chinese owned company, the #GOP can't use it to amplify their narrative like they can #Facebook and #Twitter.
And seriously, anyone willing to leave #Twitter or #Facebook for the #fediverse let me know and i'll help find the best community for you to join— or point to best practices for building a new community!

https://m.facebook.com/100066441956067/
I just posted in a #rat #facebook group about feeling sorry for one of my girls because she’s being isolated due to an eye infection. I didn’t mention that this was a last resort due to her and another girl were passing it back and forth to each other.
Two out of three comments were questioning my #vet. My vet practice is one of the top exotics practices (if not the top) in the country. One told me to change vets.
Please don’t dish out advice without having the facts. Pretty please #ffs
It will never stop being amusing to me that people, who for years, kept giving their personal data willfully to social media companies because the services were "free", and were also very vocal about not caring about how their data was being used ( "I have nothing to hide" types), are now, also the same dopes willing to pay the same social media companies for "verification" and blue checks to use the exact same services (with some *bells)
"A fool and his/her money....." LOLLLLL
Schon witzig irgendwie. Von 100% #SocialMedia Zeit bin ich inzwischen 90% bei #Mastodon / #pixelfed und die restlichen 10% bei #Twitter / #Facebook / und noch #Vero und #EyeEm .
Vor einiger Zeit war meine Zeit im #fediverse noch deutlich geringer.
I got an infuriating reminder of just how much people define their friendships, and all of their relationships, using social media.
I deleted my Facebook account several years ago. I haven't missed it at all, ever. Not even a little.
I've had several friends either text, or email, upset because they thought that I'd blocked them or unfriended them. The idea that I deleted my account is very difficult for most people to wrap their heads around.

c't 3003: ChatGPT-Klon läuft lokal auf jedem Rechner | Alpaca/LLaMA ausprobiert

It is interesting how every time news is released or something happens at #Microsoft, #Google, #Amazon and #Apple
It is always: "Apple says...", "Google will...", "Amazon plans to..." etc.
But at #Facebook and #Twitter it is always "Zuckerberg says" or "Elon Musk says".
Says a lot about the two companies.
Although I have to admit, no one likes Zuckerberg and he is just self obsessive and thinks he is going to discover the next big thing.
With #Twitter it is more the fans blindly believing everything #ElonMusk says or thinking he personally types every single line of code at Twitter after he fired everyone.
@kevincollier it never was about #Privacy or #NatSec, but being able to #spy on people around the globe!
That's why it's deemed "suspicious" by TSA & CPB if one doesn't have a #Facebook account.
Yes, and at least with regard to #Facebook, this IMO should be the death knell in a country with real rule of law; the leaks are just unbelievable:

The US concerns about data mining from #TikTok are projection. The rest of the world should be just as concerned that US social media like #Facebook and #Twitter and #Instagram not only has access to our data but definitely do share it with the US government. #prism https://www.wired.com/story/inside-the-nsas-secret-tool-for-mapping-your-social-network/
Amazing thread.
BOMBSHELL
Things seem to be even worse@ #Facebook:
I.e. many more apps (>2 million) and way over 100k of developers from high-risk foreign countries like #Russia, #China, and #NothKorea, with access to sensitive personal information of users and their #sociographs.
More #US and other countries' elections can be strongly influenced by (hostile) foreign countries.

I'm pretty shure it's just #SurveillanceCapitalism at work and that #Facebook & Co. are being the crybabies that don't want a foreign competitor.
Not to mention that #TikTok disrupts the #CyberHegemony in terms of #MassSurveillance and the ability to put the #Stasi to shame when it comes to having #blackmail material at hand.
Remember: #PRISM was never canceled or cut down - it still runs at full capacity and got expanded!

There's a reason why there's another version of #TikTok in #China and it's not to exclude you from amazing content..
If there still aren't any alarm bells ringing when a company cannot launch an app in it's origin country I'm not sure what will..
#Facebook or Metawhatever isn't much better but we know that devil, if people chose to use it you know the risks but with TikTok it's much more dangerous since it's guessing and well.. China.. :pooh:
