Meta is allegedly sharing Whatsapp data to the IDF.

"Israel is killing people based on being in the same Whatsapp group as a suspected militant. Where are they getting this data? Is WhatsApp sharing it?"

Meta and Lavender

A little-discussed detail in the Lavender AI article is that Israel is killing people based on being in the same Whatsapp group [1] as a suspected militant [2].

I'm seeing the same thing! Pretty cool!

I can follow and like my THREADS account from Mastodon, but I can't figure out how to follow my Mastodon account on the Threads side. Have you been able to get it to work?

Last month, Meta's Threads took its first step into the fediverse. @quillmatiq@mastodon.social, aka @quillmatiq@threads.net took that as his cue to experiment with how his Threads feed would look like on Mastodon. Here's what he discovered about organizing the chaos, different clients (hello @phanpy) and whether he'll cut the Threads cord when federation is complete.

Threads on Mastodon and The Bright Future of the Fediverse

This is my journey that started as an experiment to see how my Threads feed would look like on Mastodon and ended with me finding experiences that went above and beyond my expectations.

I’m seeing a lot of people badmouthing Facebook/Meta and saying we shouldn’t federate with Threads.

Mastodon.social is owned by Mastodon gGmbH and run by the *author* of Mastodon. Mastodon.social federates with Threads. If Facebook/Meta were toxic, do you think they would? Of course, not.

Facebook/Meta has Mastodon’s author’s (& the original Mastodon server’s) seal of approval. So you should all shush because clearly you’re mistaken.
