@EU_Commission Ban those greedy bastards! Zuckerberg has played enough dirty shit with people! Enough is enough! Time to radically acting instead of ignoring the problem or keeping the eyes shut! Someone should slap that ginger directly in the face with the wet floor cloth! #FuckZuck
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.”
@TechDesk@NPR If US can ban tiktok, so the EU should be able to do that same with the shit playing american companies as well. What the frickin problem they have? How long #FuckZuck dumbass cat mouse games will be tolerated? Especially on our European land? They have absolutely no respect for our laws, our rights and for their own too. Not mentioning for people. Ban those greedy bastards and close the case once for all!
It's a reminder that VPNs have their own risks, beyond technical ones if operated incompetently -- namely, that you have to trust the VPN company itself.

Meta wants you to keep Facebook Link History on, here’s why you shouldn’t:
“Meta injects special “keylogging” JavaScript onto the website you’re visiting that allows the company to monitor everything you type and tap on, including passwords.”
My wife is looking forward to deleting her Instagram account once she can connect with the same folks from her Mastodon account. Being able to remain in touch with over 100M people who still use Meta products out of the comfort of an ad-free, privacy-friendly platform like Mastodon is a game changer.
"Starting a test where posts from Threads accounts will be available on Mastodon and other services that use the ActivityPub protocol. Making Threads interoperable will give people more choice over how they interact and it will help content reach more people. I'm pretty optimistic about this." - Mark Zuckerberg
