Take a look at #Facebook for 10 minutes and you'll see what a true #AI web looks like. It's a barren wasteland that no one interacts with. Let them have their fun with these sites knowning its just going to be bots talking to AI. #google search is whats dead not the #openweb.

"Huge crowd last night at the #LiberationShabbat service at the UW Madison tent encampment (liberated zone)! Organized by a group of #UWMadison#Jewish students. Very moving! And a quick transition afterwards in time for the Muslim call for prayer in the same space, beautiful!"

From #Cuban students to the students of the United States: All our solidarity!
Our total support to the cause of Palestine. End the US government’s complicity.
Have you noticed your Facebook feed being taken over by AI spam recently? @jasonkoebler has spent four months looking into it — what’s real, what’s not and what is a mixture of the two, creating what he calls “a disastrous website where there is little social connection at all.” Read more about his investigation over at @404mediaco.
Jedes Mal, wenn ich mich (aus beruflichen Gründen) in den Kommentarbereichen von Plattformen wie TikTok, Instagram und Co. umsehe, habe ich das Gefühl, in eine dunkle Welt zu blicken. Was dort an Hass, Dummheit und anderen negativen Äußerungen verbreitet wird, ist für mich kaum zu ertragen. Das geht weit über Meinungsäußerungen hinaus. Es ist einfach abscheulich. 🙈
The EU is getting ready to launch an investigation into Meta over its handling of election-related content, reports @engadget
Full details of the investigation are expected later this week, but concerns have reportedly been raised about “deceptive advertising and political content” on Meta’s platforms. EU officials are also unhappy about Meta’s plan to shut down CrowdTangle in August, a move the researchers and fact checkers who use the tool have called a “direct threat to election integrity efforts around the world.”
#Meta should just offer people in #Europe (& the rest of the planet) a simple option: either opt in to have your personal information sold to advertisers, or pay a fee to use #Facebook, #Instagram, #WhatsApp & #Threads.
It works for #YouTube (I pay them to avoid ads), as well as other news organizations. It’s really that simple.
By banning (or forcing sale of) TikTok (which I loathe), Congress -- Democrats as well as Republicans -- and a Democratic president just performed extreme censorship of the Internet.
They claimed it was for your privacy, but that is a flagrant and stupid lie.
They believe you have no privacy rights, and deserve none, and have made that clear again and again.
We need public spaces controlled by the public, not rapacious companies and control-freak lawmakers.
anyone who winds up making noise against acting against #tiktok is no friend of privacy and is morally confused and not acting on principles, they are merely posturing and showboating
we don't get perfect when we go after tiktok, yes. and?
if you care about privacy, you celebrate going after tiktok
Even six months after the ban, a large number of Canadians (approximately 33%) still say they use Meta’s flagship social media platforms Facebook or Instagram for access to Canadian political and current affairs information.
The Facebook Pages of national news outlets lost approximately 64% of their Facebook engagement following the end of news availability for Canadian users. Local news outlets lost approximately 85%. Almost half of all local news outlets stopped posting on Facebook entirely in the four months following the ban.
Engagement with politically relevant pages and groups has remained unchanged since the ban, suggesting politically-oriented users have not reduced their Facebook usage.
Members of politically-oriented Facebook Groups have circumvented the ban by posting screenshots of Canadian news articles. Although there are fewer screenshots of news post-ban than there were links to news articles pre-ban, the total engagement with news content in these Groups has remained consistent.
« Quel rôle les grandes firmes technologiques américaines, qui s’exportent massivement dans le monde tout en ayant leurs sièges localisés dans la célèbre #SiliconValley, jouent-elles dans le carnage qui a cours actuellement dans la bande de #Gaza et qui est perpétré par l’armée #israél|ienne ? »
Lavender is Israel's system of "pre-crime" - they use AI to guess who to kill in Gaza, and then bomb them when they're at home, along with their entire family. One input to the AI is whether you're in a WhatsApp group with a suspected member of Hamas. Where are they getting this data? Is WhatsApp sharing it? Paul Biggar writes.
«Les plateformes doivent donner aux utilisateurs un véritable choix. Les systèmes que nous voyons aujourd’hui exigent généralement des individus soit qu’ils paient soit qu’ils acceptent l’usage de toutes leurs données»
So apparently, sharing this article about how the NPR is too prone to "both-sidesism" violates #Facebook community standards against "sharing content that includes exteme violence".
Each time I go there, Facebook reminds me why I should visit it less.
