Lol. Another depressing Fediverse "update" on Threads has Fediverse users cornered off like the evil stepchild and still can't reply.

Feeling like the dream of true cross communication on Fediverse is dead more and more every second.😒

Fediverse will never be fully cross platform with these billion dollar corporations.

They're too scared of losing their users.🤦‍♂️

Woaa.. I knew #Meta sucks but it's getting worse by the day:

"The web pixel talks to the Facebook/Instagram app using WebRTC"

“The Meta Pixel script sends the _fbp cookie to the native Instagram or Facebook app via WebRTC (STUN) using SDP modification (SDP Munging).”

Apparently, if you have facebook or Instagram installed on your phone, #Meta was able to track your browsing habits and link them to your real identity even if you never logged in on the web, used incognito mode or a VPN. I hope Meta gets hit with every fine in the book.

#Meta is giving their millions of users in Europe a phony "legitimate interests" cover-story for circumventing the #GDPR. It's no longer about selling data to 3rd parties, now it's about using data for impersonating people through #MetaAI.

I hope this will be challenged in court. Until then I will continue to use ad-blockers, clear cookies and device IDs, use multiple web browsers, make data as useless as I can, and remind other people to do the same. I don't mind if you call that #Luddism

#Meta and #Yandex are de-anonymizing #Android users’ #web browsing #identifiers

#Tracking code that Meta and #Russia - based Yandex embed into millions of websites is de-anonymizing visitors by abusing legitimate #Internet protocols, causing #Chrome and other browsers to surreptitiously send unique identifiers to native apps installed on a device, researchers have discovered. #Google says it's investigating the abuse, which allows Meta and Yandex to convert ephemeral web identifiers into persistent #mobile #app user identities.

Meta is now a defence contractor for the Trump regime:

"Meta has partnered with (Palmer Luckey's) Anduril Industries to build augmented and virtual reality devices for the (US) military."

Wait...WTF is this?? Meta is on the fediverse??? Since when?

#Meta #fediverse #metaverse #tech #technology

#whatsapp has been feverishly copying #telegram features the last year. Both are now in a battle who enshittifies faster. Mr. Durov announced that #Telegram, sitting on the biggest cleartext data and metadata pile second only to #Meta, is to integrate "AI" the next days, see youtu.be/JBCY3ZE9Rz0?t=10135s ...

Let them fight. We stubbornly continue to focus on resilient private messaging for families, groups and communities, with end-to-encrypted #webxdc apps and decentralized agency at all levels.

Within about 1 HOUR and 40 MIN the new #Meta #AI training policy goes into action

Someone asked me how to stop Meta from collecting their data.

Unfortunately, if you have an account with Meta, your data is already being reused by both AI and everything else Meta produces, and there's nothing you can do to stop it. Whether you're on WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, or Threads, all the data you input is fully owned by Meta.

Meta is known not only to obtain your data but also the data of everyone you know - even those who don't use Meta's services, by using scripts to gather information from the websites they visit.

I also have Instagram and Threads accounts, but I've deleted my WhatsApp and Facebook accounts. Despite deleting everything, Meta likely still has my data, which frustrates me daily.

#Facebook front office grabbed great publicity from its bold #billion dollar public #pledge to help solve the #BayArea #housing crisis, then after the cameras, clicks and likes disappeared so did it's phony commitment, as #Meta quietly cut the funding teat and #ghosted the topic.

Money did flow at first , as public entities provided matching funds, but #Zuggerfugger's #PaloAlto #SocialMedia #boardroom backed shills quietly cut and run, committing far less than a quarter of the publicly pledged total. The vast majority of money from Meta, a company lacking a corporate charitable arm, came back to their HQ, repaid as low 2% interest rate loans of up to $15m to developers, not actual donations.

5 years after the flurry of #publicity, the unfulfilled propaganda pipe dream went deferred, projects were few and far between, impacts largely lost and untold in a region still desperately in need of more affordable housing.
