Social media is being transformed from an advertising platform and subscription trap into a toxic, inhuman democracy-destroying machine.

Hundreds of international #students have received an email telling them their #visas have been revoked.

The ‘justification’ is campus #activism or #SocialMedia posts.

We’re excited to announce that, from Monday, we’re going to be the new admins of IndieWeb.social!

We’ve always loved how @tchambers has run IndieWeb.social. His direction has made it one of the best instances on the Fediverse!

Thanks to Tim for his trust in us to provide a safe and secure home for the server into the future.

“The lack of detail and clarity regarding the initial investigation—beyond the vague statement that ‘we are investigating and hope to reach a conclusion within 120 days’—is simply not enough."

Here is just one more reason why anyone that is anti-fascist and truly for free speech should be using Lemmy, Mbin and Kbin instead of Reddit:

Some dude is on Threads telling people that the only reason the Fediverse exists is for Meta to do some kinda weird and wild human trafficking crap.😳

What the fuck.

This is the wildest one I've seen and I thought I seen it all.

Ban anonymous accounts on civil #SocialMedia and the bot 🤖 problem goes away. The bots can have #Twitter :birdsite: aka #Xitter 🚽 and Facebook.

In the meantime, report ALL suspected 🤖 and #spam accounts.


"The new feature would likely be an unwelcome one for users who would rather keep comments AI-free on Instagram, especially those who believe their friends deserve genuine comments as opposed to AI slop."

Digital #Privacy at the U.S. #Border: Protecting the #Data On Your Devices


source: eff.org/wp/digital-privacy-us-…

Border agents may attempt to scrutinize the content stored or cached on your phones, laptops, and other portable electronic devices, including electronic communications, social media postings, and ecommerce activity. Moreover, agents may seek to examine your public social media postings by obtaining your social media identifiers or handles. As of this writing, the federal #government is considering requiring disclosure from certain foreign visitors of social media login credentials, allowing access to private postings and “friend” lists.

This is the best thing I've seen someone say all week.

Gave me a good laugh.😂

#XMPP #Messenger #SocialMedia ownership

...described, would, strategically speaking, be an excellent solution for society to re-own its #DigitalMarketSquare, or as US film maker and storyteller #MatthewCooke, phrased it:

👉 "Should Society Own its Social Media"?

IMHO: OFC!!!👈

IMO, it is the chief requisite of maintaining its individual freedom!

(1/n)

Thank you for the clarification. I did state (at least in the convo mentioned) that #XMPP is (but) a protocol.
The FOSS messenger(s) based on it, however, to my knowledge, are but niche apps for the technologically savvy.--No-one of my RL contacts has ever mentioned it (no a represantive sample, OFC.)

#Jabber, w/o having any further knowledge other than the superficial one...

Important #UK #petition to sign: "Ban behavioural data extraction for advertising"

If you are a UK citizen or UK resident PLEASE SIGN THIS 🙏🏼

We need the #government to take this seriously so creeps like this #databroker don't get more data:

And #democracy is undermined by the #microtargeting from #socialmedia - #Trump /Brexit/Romania etc

The #Plutocrat-#Bigot #socialMedia axis takes race swapping characters in #movies seriously

Because it's a pipeline to #farRight #politics, weaponized fake outrage

And they get to engage in #racism and #hate

Someone on Threads claims that BlueSky is looking to become a non-profit. Any truth to that? I can't find anything.🤨
