I’ve been doing it for 10 years 🥰

I’ve convinced a friend to stop using Facebook in the past week after getting him to pay attention to the algorithm feed and how it’s picking up on shit he’s talking about but not searching for, and increasing his anxiety. Including confiding private conversation he had with me. Feels good
!demeta@programming.dev

If it is really only voluntary, it is a failure from the word go. Voluntary never worked with predatory buisinesses.

I have a question. Why do we see this every alternate week about META breaking a law, not agreeing to standards, hacking their way with loopholes and legislation. And STILLLL nothing ever bad happens to Meta?

Why are they still existing?
If any company causes depression to teenagers,
Creates or aides genocide,
Misuses data,
How are they still existing?

Are we daft? Or are the lawmakers? Or the government?
Meta is evil. Period. They cant keep getting away with this.

I like my cheap vr headset, I hope it doesn't turn to brick. Anyone know how to operate it without the meta bloat?

EU:

you’re done here

For real though, bring on the absolutely crippling fines

that the social media giant will not sign the European Union’s voluntary AI code of practice. His reasoning was stark: “Europe is heading down the wrong path on AI.”

These rules, which take effect next month, are meant to help companies navigate compliance with Europe’s sweeping AI Act passed last year.

And later then they complain about the difficulty to navigate the rules and about the fines, you bet?

I would love to see Europe ban/block the API endpoints that AI communicates over.

Then ban all Meta endpoints if/when meta moves AI communication onto the same endpoints as non-AI communication.

European laws are not perfect, but they at least make an effort to put the needs of the people ahead of corporations and the Parasite Class.

Too rich to not move politicians and mountains.
