And it’s not a place for us to “share” artists’ work without their permission, right? The old mass media pimps, and the new para #socialmedia pimps, are going to keep using that to keep us clinging to them and the bots they promise will (eventually) manage our royalties.

Wieder eine Folge, nach der man Meta noch ein Stück weniger für einen Tech-Konzern und noch ein Stück mehr für ein Geschäftsmodell mit ziemlich hässlichen Nebenwirkungen hält.

Sehr stark recherchiert und verdammt gut aufgedröselt.

Ich habe den #Meta Vergleich hier 👉 metacheles.de/meta-vergleich-o… analysiert und bleibe bei meiner Einschaetzung, dass dieser einer Kapitulation gleicht... und vor allen Dingen erst der Anfang ist.

Weit ueber 3000 Verfahren stehen noch aus, die nun mit einem ganz anderen Wissensstand starten und das ist ein riesiges Problem fuer #Instagram und Co.

Der Vergleich hat #Zuckerberg nur ein wenig Zeit erkauft.

Gerne teilen.

Danke fuer euren Support 🙏




Ich belächle die halbherzigen Versuche der politischen Klasse, unter dem Deckmantel des Kinderschutzes Social Media zu begrenzen, Alterskontrollen für alle oder gar Gesichtserkennung voranzutreiben. Nicht weil Kinderschutz unwichtig wäre. Im Gegenteil. Aber Überwachung ersetzt keinen Kinderschutz. Menschen suchen sich Räume, in denen sie unbehelligt kommunizieren können. Wenn diese Räume verboten oder überwacht werden, entstehen neue. Zur Not bauen Menschen sie selbst. Wer das Internet regulieren will, sollte endlich verstehen, wie es funktioniert.

Mal ne Frage ist #Threads eigentlich noch ein Ding? Also gibt es ausreichend Nutzer:innen die dieses Netzwerk wirklich nutzen oder wird #Meta diese #Socialmedia Plattform wieder fallen lassen?

Screenshot of an Image Toolbox app with options for Single Edit, Resize and Convert, Format Conversion, and Crop functions.
“For you, as a content creator, the tools that matter the most are batch processing, format conversion, the 61 built-in export presets sized for platforms like Instagram, X, and YouTube, background removal, and watermarking. The latter, background removal, comes in both automatic and manual modes, with a choice of models including MlKit, U2Net, RMBG, and BiRefNet.”

It has many such tools, and is available both on the official Play Store (published by ProgiX), but also on the F-Droid store.

JUSTICE: HOW TO KILL META!
========================

The legal math on media is broken. The punitive measures are not effective deterrents.

If you look at the numbers, Meta does harmful things, apologizes, pays a pittance, and still comes out ahead financially.

Zuckerberg sold out his users data to Cambridge Analytica, influencing the US election. Then he appeared before Congress like a contrite little schoolboy - "Oops! I didn't mean to accidentally cut multibillion dollar deals and sell out Facebook users. Honest mistake. I promise not to do it again ( unless the price is right! )"
Because of the math, he still came out ahead.

I left Meta's platforms a long time ago.

People who are not savvy, are locked into the Facebook walled garden, because of the Network Effect. ( "I can't leave Facebook. All my friends are on Facebook!" )

Having liberated ourselves, it is our duty to liberate others, who are still trapped, to give them their right to privacy.

Here's a plan of action:

1) Place ads on Facebook, explaining the benefits of #Mastodon
( joinmastodon.org/ )

1.1) Freedom from Meta's censorship and algorithms.

1.2) A community owned, open social media platform.

2) When a user clicks, guide them through exporting their data from Facebook, and deleting their Facebook account.

3) Give them an optional questionnaire, asking about their interests, and match them with the right Mastodon instance.

4) If they skip the optional questionnaire, pick a random Mastodon instance for them.

5) Give them an option to enter into a Facebook migration registry.

6) Help them set up a Mastodon account and import their data.

7) If they opted into the migrant registry, reconnect them with their former Facebook connections, who also joined the registry. Like a reunion in Heaven with your loved ones. ☺️

Jemand veröffentlich ungefragt Familienfotos auf #Facebook
Ich bitte um Löschung zumindest der Fotos, auf denen mein Kind zu erkennen ist.
Antwort: Wär's dann nicht besser gewesen, er wär' auf den Gruppenfotos gar nicht erst dabei gewesen?

Kinder nicht auf Gruppenfotos fürs Familienalbum nehmen wollen, weil das die Veröffentlichung auf #SocialMedia verkompliziert, wenn ne olle Mutti wie ich dem widerspricht🤯.

Absurder wird's heut' hoffentlich nicht mehr.

Bei allem Respekt für Sie, Frau #BrosiusGersdorf, aber NEIN!

Die Speicherung von #Klarnamen bei #SocialMedia gefährdet Menschen.
Viele würden aus Angst verstummen. Gerade in der heutigen Zeit‼️
Regeln gegen Hass und Hetze - JA.
Aber nicht so.

I want to chime in on something I've seen other people saying now that Meta has settled a lawsuit for #SocialMedia addiction of children and teens and #AI is proving harmful for children and teens learning capacity. So we need to protect the children, right?

LISTEN UP! *It's not just 'the children'.*

If something is harmful when you are a kid it can be harmful if you are an adult. There's no magic age at which you become 'safe'. The potential for harm does not simply disappear.

[contd]


Da wäre jetzt mal interessant zu wissen wie die Fragen formuliert waren um zu diesem Ergebnis zu kommen.

🔎 Wie beeinflusst Desinformation die demokratische Teilhabe Jugendlicher?

Die DFG fördert das interdisziplinäre Kooperationsprojekt "SETA – Schutz des epistemischen Vertrauens von Jugendlichen: Konzeptionelle Ansätze und Policy-Optionen" des Weizenbaum-Instituts und des Leibniz-Instituts für Medienforschung | Hans-Bredow-Institut (HBI).

Kann Vergleich mit Meta als Vorlage für andere sozialen Medien dienen?

Im Streit um mehr Jugendschutz hat der Meta-Konzern in den USA einem Vergleich zugestimmt. Doch die Umsetzung der Maßnahmen birgt Hürden. Und Meta fordert: Plattformen wie YouTube und TikTok müssen nachziehen. Von Reinhard Spiegelhauer.

I've followed the instructions here to the letter and have moved an account of mine with success to another server.

The standard instructions of mastodon were already clear. This guide shines in emphasizing the extra important steps

Thank you

"Meta on Wednesday reached a landmark settlement with 47 states, the District of Columbia and U.S. territories, agreeing to pay up to $17.1 billion in penalties and make major changes to its products over claims it endangered children with addictive social media platforms.

In a dramatic capitulation, the owner of Facebook and Instagram agreed to the financial penalties for violating federal child privacy and states’ consumer protection laws, the states announced."

It's a start!

"Those who invested money watched their returns grow and grow.

In reality, the incredible returns were nothing but a high number on a screen.

The money had never been invested. It was gone. Stolen.

This is the story of a sophisticated fraud network that has deceived people around the world. And the hunt for the ones who make it possible."

Good that you are continuesly sharing that.

Reminds me of a similar, but also totally different aspect:
German GREEN-Party is officially buying Palantir surveillance software where ever they are in power. Their members reject that mostly asking to skip Palantir in favour of "European software".

With your W-social documentation you show very well that "European Software" is not a standard as such - depends from case to case if beneficiary or not and that needs to be very deeply investigated. And you might come up with the great finding that the European is as shitty as the American equivalent)

Thank you for putting the torch where it hurts (my learning: if VonDerLeyen is promoting something, stay away. If the German GREEN party suggest something, start screaming 😉)

Dear friends,

Please gather around for a long post about #WSocial and how they are responding to critiques.

I have noticed a trend: W Social leaders and staunch supporters are describing any critical posts about the company as "targeted disinformation." Its CEO said they will soon have a technical solution in place for this. Oh?!?

🔗: mu.social/profile/anna.wsocial…

I suppose the "targeted disinformation" claims are about recent posts by the likes of me and @pallenberg about troubling hate speech that is allowed on W Social.

Claims backed by hard evidence, in the form of screenshots and video captures. (I am increasingly doing screen recordings of problematic posts and interactions by W Social people because they have a tendency to delete evidence - like an infamous comment on a video by the Instutute for Remigration).

⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️

Discrediting sources, renaming evidence as "disinformation" and creating a victim narrative has a long, storied history.

⬆️ ⬆️ ⬆️

But I'm digressing. I speak up about W Social because:

  1. Mainstream media runs PR fluff about them;
  2. Horrid hate speech on the platform is completely unmoderated.

W Social is currently showing the limits of free speech absolutism. Its CEO wrote: "We don’t need W to become another echo chamber."

Reminds you of something?

Atmosphere user @echna.bsky.social astutely remarked that "W Social is on an X speedrun, without ever having been like Twitter."

🔗: mu.social/profile/echna.bsky.s…

Bluesky, #Blacksky, and #Northsky have mechanisms in place to report hate speech - and I am super thankful for that.

As of today, I cannot report to W Social posts by their users that contain hate speech.

The W Social moderation list's only purpose is to make a distinction between verified users and bots.

Compare it with Blacksky's moderation list and be amazed (see screenshots).

What's the big deal about the lack of content moderation on #WSocial?

Well, I am haunted by some posts by their users.

A repeat offender (routinely posting racist and xenophobic posts) recently commented "Awesome news" to a newspaper article about a Palestinian family drowning in Sussex.

His profile is still up and he's followed by W Social's CEO and its co-founder Ingmar Renzhog (yes I have evidence of this, via a video capture - so even if they unfollow him or delete his account, well, I have proof of my claim).

I agree with "Echna" that W Social is on an X speedrun, allowing racist, transphobic and xenophobic posts. Evidence:

🔗: mu.social/profile/elenarossini…

Instead of addressing these critiques head-on - and moderating hate speech - the W Social co-founders are lamenting being subjected to a "targeted disinformation" campaign.

Oh ok?

IMHO free speech absolutism ultimately only coddles far right extremists and is a very dangerous thing.

Would you call this disinformation?

Special thanks to my #GoToSocial account for allowing this message all in one go, without having to break it up in a hundred-post thread.

TL;DR: W Social is taking a dark turn real fast.
