@AHeid@olsberg.social Die Verbreitung von "Gadgets" wie der #Alexa zeigt leider, dass das Wort "Datenschutz-Albtraum" viele Konsumenten nicht davon abhalten wird, das Ding zu kaufen - und damit sich selbst und ihre Mitmenschen durch #Meta überwachen zu lassen. Willkommen im Jahr #1984 in #Ozeanien!

@Roelmaalderink@mastodon.social @bitsoffreedom@chaos.social Ein weiterer Fall von Zensur bei Instagram / Meta , gravierenderweise in einem Fall, der die eigene Geschäftspolitik betrifft. Der Fall macht unmittelbar deutlich, wie wir als Gesellschaft unserer Kontrollmöglichkeiten beraubt werden, wenn wir die elektronische Kommunikation einzelnen Monopolkonzernen überlasssen. Unsere Einwaende und Meinungen werden einfach ausradiert, gecancelt. #instagram #meta #zensur #monopole

I'm finally ready to take the Fediverse seriously. Years of tech overreach and enshittification have worn me out. The final straw came when Meta decided I should pay over $50 a month just to share a few links to my own podcast. That includes a blue check that means nothing anymore (thanks, X). They already sell ads and our data. Now they want my money too. Bear with me while I adjust. If I pull out old habits, please don't yell at me. #Introduction #Podcasting #Enshittification #Meta

Meta/Facebook's own oversight board finds that... #Meta interfered against #Lula to favour right wing #Bolsanaro in #Brazil elections. The oversight board found Meta had excessively used anti-fraud policies against Lula's ad accounts. The failure, the body says, "should have been escalated to an internal team of expert reviewers". https://www.oversightboard.com/news/oversight-board-statement-on-protecting-election-integrity-on-metas-platforms/ #democracy #TechFascism

As others have pointed out, there could be an influx of newcomers to the #Fediverse from #Brazil who are tired of #Meta 's latest shenanigans while meddling with politics. If you see them, be friendly and welcoming, and under no circumstances start with "You are using the Fediverse wrong!" I mean it. We have a serious "Reply Guy" problem around here, and we've already lost our big chance with Black Twitter. Let's not screw _this_ opportunity up, okay?

Lula, in his victory speech, announced he plans to regulate #Meta and other social media platforms after they had actively shilled for his fascist opponent during the election. #Brazil

"Social media algorithms amplify right-wing content against young users’ preference" https://www.bi.team/press-releases/social-media-algorithms-amplify-right-wing-content-against-young-users-preference-study-finds/ I finally re-found this study I read a few months ago, that deserves a lot more attention. It is, in fact, the main reason we should be moving away from big-tech social media: it shows more right-wing content than left-wing content, no matter the political leaning of the user. Propaganda works. See more of something and you start believing it. And they know it. #mastodon #Fediverse #Forkiverse #SocialMedia #algorithm #algorithms #politics #propaganda #BigTech #DigitalRights #propaganda #MediaLiteracy #EchoChambers #DeleteMeta #QuitX #LeaveX #Meta #X #Twitter #Facebook #study

@indivisibleteam@mastodon.social Investigate, yes, AND divest of corp social media. Get onto and encourage/educate others to move to Mastodon and, even better, Meshcore. #NoKings #Meta #Meshcore

What we’re up against in the U.S. during this election.

Yesterday:

1. Meta closed the No Kings accounts on the day of the protest. Restored them later, saying “our bad.” But did not restore admin privileges.

2. We learned that millions of people had no idea about the protests because Meta suppressed posts about it.

3. Bluesky closed the Democracy Now account for “unusual activity.” (No idea if it has been restored.)

And for months we’ve been watching the fascists do everything in their power to restrict voting rights.

The billionaires know they’re the minority. Not economically (which is obvious) but ethically. Otherwise they wouldn’t be working so hard to stop democracy.

I wanna believe most Americans are good people. We’re fighting for what’s right. But our enemy has massive resources and control. That what we need to quell.

Keep fighting. Stay vigilant. And for fuck’s sake, vote!

“…at approximately 1:30 p.m. ET, the main Instagram account for the No Kings coalition was taken down without warning or explanation… “ #Meta blocks No Kings IG account on day of major anti-Trump rallies across the US.

It gets worse. Boycott #Meta

Hello Americans, Today Meta has deactivated the Instagram accounts of the "No Kings" protests on the very day they are happening in the US. You can avoid Meta's fascist-defending shenanigans by following one of the main No Kings organisers on here instead: ➡️ @indivisibleteam@mastodon.social This is a textbook example of why it's a bad idea to rely on billionaire-owned centralised social media. (Thank you to @tchambers@indieweb.social 🙏) #NoKings #Meta #USA

Zuckerberg’s #Meta Takes Down 'No Kings' Instagram During Massive Protest Day - MeidasTouch

Seems like at least the account back, but no word from Meta on why this happened. This is why they were so smart of @indivisibleteam@mastodon.social build out on platforms like Bluesky and Mastodon & their own direct to their users newsletters too - that are not at the whim of giant big tech. #Meta needs to give exact and full answer of what the Hell just happened on this critical day of action. #Nokings #NoKingsVoteEarly

Surprise Report: "Meta briefly disabled ads on the Facebook page of Brazil’s leftwing president on Friday – just days before he faces a far-right challenger in national elections." But it allows paid posts calling for the military to ‘take back power.' Pres Lula da Silva's campaign has filed an appeal & is awaiting explanation. https://novaramedia.com/2026/09/28/facebook-blocks-lulas-campaign-ads-just-days-before-brazil-election/#BrazilElection #EUPol #USPol #FascistFacebook #news #Lula #Meta .

#Meta has blocked this graphic from being posted via WhatsApp and possibly other Meta platforms. We don’t know why. It says: “THE WORLD NEEDS #BRAZIL. THE WORLD STANDS WITH #LULA.” Share it if you can.
