Meta allegedly buried research showing its products are harming users
A court filing suggests the company knew that deactivating Facebook lessens depression, anxiety and loneliness.

FTA: "10% of Meta's gross revenue comes from ads for fraudulent goods and scams, and; the company knows it, and; they decided not to do anything about it, because; the fines for facilitating this life-destroying fraud are far less than the expected revenue from helping to destroy its users' lives"

Oh for sure, though seeing the number of revenue in the article is just startling. Did you see the documentary The Social Dilemma?
There is just no end to their evil.
The YouTube algorithm really has me nailed as an anti-algorithm kind of person. Thanks algorithm!

In reasons to #DeleteFacebook: email just came in about a "privacy update." Basically, they're using your interactions to train #AISlop. (I can't quite delete mine due to library's page for outreach-- *sigh*)
I deleted #Facebook nearly two years ago for the reasons in this ABC article: no control over what I saw and a completely cooked algorithm.
I did try deleting and recreating my account in 2023, and the suggested content on the new account was almost disturbing. Mostly right wing propaganda and soft porn. I deleted my account shortly thereafter.
It hasn't been perfect, especially with most of my contacts frequenting Messenger, but I also can't say I would go back to it.
Any game workers here who've managed to cut themselves off from corporate social media without career/networking/collaboration consequences? I know so many game industry alums who are older and only use Facebook, but it's hard to evangelize fedi/ActivityPub without being perceived negatively.
Somewhere at Meta, there's a team working on how to monetize spiders

Earlier this summer I received a warning from Meta Quest that my 19 year old account was being used by a child.* They wanted me to confirm my age by sending them a photo of a government ID or credit card, which I was reluctant to do. Hence they suspended my Facebook, Instagram and Messenger account, I let the reactivation period lapse.
I'm actually glad it happened, this was the push I needed to de-Facebook my life. Luckily I had already downloaded and deleted most of my data from the services.
* I still don't know what caused this, it could be that my kids' use of a Quest headset on my account was analyzed in some way.

Yet another good reason to #DeleteFacebook and related services.
Vu sur les internets:

TikTok reportedly has 136 million users within the United States—that’s more than in any other country—and the site’s videos have been enormously influential in politics and entertainment.
