🇫🇮 Meta sulki Digitaalinen itsenäisyys -aloitteen Threads-tilin. Mitä seuraavaksi? 🤔
Kansalaisaloitteemme, joka ajaa digitaalista itsenäisyyttä, sai juuri karun esimerkin siitä, mitä riippuvuus ulkomaisista alustoista tarkoittaa. Meta, joka omistaa Threadsin, sulki aloitteen tilin vedoten yhteisönormien rikkomiseen.

We added our Vivaldi Social server to the Fediverse on November 15th 2022. We are still, I believe, the only browser company that is fully behind the Fediverse. It is something we are very proud of! The Fediverse is the natural alternative to Big Tech social media, just like, IMHO, Vivaldi is the natural alternative to Big Tech browsers.

I dont understand why Meta users don't understand how all the data collected about them to "help" the algorithm can also be used by the state to terrorize and blackmail them.
The British state has accepted $1m from #Meta to “develop cutting-edge #AI solutions … to support national security and defence teams”.
What could possibly go right?

Hurja väite oikeusjutussa: WhatsApp ei olekaan vahvasti salattu, vaan Metan työntekijät voivat lukea viestit
Yhdysvalloissa nostetussa oikeusjutussa väitetään, että Metan työntekijät voivat päästä lukemaan kenen tahansa WhatsApp-viestejä suhteellisen kevyin perustein. Syytteessä väitetään myös, että myös kaikki aiemmin poistetut viestit säilyvät Metan työntekijöiden luettavissa ikuisesti.
Meta kiistää väitteet jyrkästi.

With #meta blocking stories about the protests and strike in #Minnessota, it is a reminder of why platforms like the fediverse are important. This is a video of the clergy protest at the MSP airport today, passed along by a colleague, at which 97 clergy were arrested.

It's official, the #Metaverse failed!
Meanwhile I don't even know 1 person who ever visited it 😅
Not one(!) after:
#Meta "...had funneled some $73 billion into Reality Labs. To put that into context, you’d have to spend $1 million per day for 200 years to match that kind of spending."

“#Meta met 38 times with MEPs from the ECR, the Patriots and the Europe of Sovereign Nations Group.
#Google has also not shied away from meeting far-right MEPs. A few days after the launch of the digital omnibus, the Head of Public Affairs of Google France joined a dinner party in Strasbourg hosted by six French MEPs from the far right Rassemblement National.”
