Instant - #Gesichtserkennung
Studenten nutzen Metas smarte Brille zur Identifikation von Passanten
Ein Blick reicht, und die Brille spuckt aus, wer die Person ist, die man gerade anschaut, samt Adresse, Telefonnummer und Biografie. Zwei Harvard-Studierende haben ein solches System entwickelt â als Warnung.

Meta and friends â like Mastodon and Vivaldi â form Social Web Foundation.
May I be the first to say:
Fuck the Social Web Foundation.

I am so fucking sick of this bullshit happening over and over again. Iâd say theyâre useful idiots but, letâs face it, Mastodon arenât idiots. Vivaldi arenât idiots. Theyâre smart folks. They know full well what Meta is. They clearly just donât give a shit.

Dear @Gargron,
A fediverse server called Threads is violating mastodon.socialâs second server rule:
â2. No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobiaâŚ
Transphobic behavior such as intentional misgendering and deadnaming is strictly prohibited.â
Can you please defederate from this server to protect the trans people on mastodon.social?
Thank you.

Report â Unsafe: Meta Fails to Moderate Extreme Anti-trans Hate Across Facebook, Instagram, and Threads | GLAAD
GLAADâs Social Media Safety Program reported the following anti-trans hate content across Instagram, Facebook, and Threads; Meta deemed all of it non-violative or did not take action on it.GLAAD
"Facebook snooped on usersâ Snapchat traffic in secret project, documents reveal"
Das ist vorsätzliches Umgehen von SicherheitsmaĂnahmen und eine illegale Ăberwachung/Spionage. Wer Meta/Facebook noch in irgendeiner Weise vertraut, der sollte sich gut Ăźberlegen, was Vertrauen fĂźr ihn bedeutet.

Mastodon.social rolling out the red carpet for Threads is like an independent shop inviting a supermarket to set up next door.
But whatâs done is done. And Iâve wasted enough words on this whole sorry affair over the last year.
So this is the last youâll hear about it from me. When, eventually, youâre writing your âwhat went wrong?â articles, feel free to look up what Iâd written on the issue back when.

How to block Threads on Mastodon -- with screenshots! (UPDATED AGAIN)
https://privacy.thenexus.today/how-to-block-threads-on-mastodon/
Now with two options and a discussion of privacy tradeoffs!
Should the Fediverse welcome its new surveillance-capitalism overlords? Opinions differ! If you're one of the fediverse influencers who sees Threads arrival it as "historic" and "a glimpse of the future" ... well, you might want to skip this post.
But if you're one of the many many people on the fediverse who doesn't want to deal with Threads, read on!
I created an account on the Fediverse
*because* it is not Facebook,
*because* it is different,
*because* it is better,
*because* it doesnât have ads,
*because* it is more respectful of its users,
*because* it doesnât have an algorithm deciding what I see,
and *because* is has much better ethics and moderation.
I really hope it stays that way

In the text, not a word about the fact that the rules , on which #meta offers cooperation (e.g., the obligation of confidentiality of all shared technical information) exclude from potential cooperation any #decentralized communicator based on #foss. The #EuropeanCommission should kick them in the ass for this.

Each Facebook User Is Monitored by Thousands of Companies
A Consumer Reports investigation found that Facebook collected data on each user from an average of 2,230 companies.Consumer Reports
"... the website loads in a special browser built into the app, rather than your phoneâs default browser. In 2022, privacy researcher Felix Krause found that Meta injects special âkeyloggingâ JavaScript onto the website youâre visiting that allows the company to monitor everything you type and tap on, including passwords. Other apps including TikTok do the same thing."
What the hell?? This is so creepy.

Looks like the #threadiverse has been widely used by the #Lemmy and #Kbin communities for years, but now it's slowly being co-opted (including by #Meta staff) to refer to the #federation of #Threads.
I predict a complete takeover of the #hashtag, and term in general, before the end of 2024.

this is why many people who're so adamantly against federating with threads are so goddamn ANGRY
we're so fucking tired tired of having our safe spaces -- our refuges against queerphobia -- ripped away from us
queer people, outcasts, weirdos, etc. -- we built this fucking this network. we laid the groundwork for its very existence and now you're trying to tell us we don't matter, that we should just give it all up in the face of some evil megacorp. well fuck that
we're not going down without a fight
Threads needs to be blocked at server level.
Leaving it up to individual choice puts people in physical danger. Here's how:
1. Meta/Facebook/Threads allows accounts that incite hatred against vulnerable groups
2. Some follow these hateful accounts and believe their lies
3. Innocent people are physically attacked in real life
This actually happens:
#Meta won't stop it:

nobody i've seen trying to criticize fedipact in depth seems to actually like understand the point of it lmao
they think it's all about data scraping or opposition to meta on principle or just being gatekeepy or something
some of what they bring up are valid concerns, but far from my main one. my biggest concern here is entirely practical: allowing threads onto fedi will bring about a torrent of hate
the reason i started it was always "protecting queer people and other marginalized groups on here from harassment"
further reading: https://fedipact.online/why
like... why should we want anything to do with an instance that willingly allows GaysAgainstGroomers and LibsOfTikTok to exist on their platform? these are the kinds of hate speech accounts that get queer people killed every single goddamn day
that's basically like federating with fucking gab but with a few extra steps
i think the most annoying thing about this whole discourse is that people refuse to judge threads by the standard of any other fedi instance
like if a mastodon instance got set up and federated right now and it allowed the shit threads allowed it'd be widely defederated IMMEDIATELY
there are accounts literally CALLING FOR THE DEATH OF QUEER PEOPLE on there right fucking now
the only reason people are even willing to give them a chance is because it's a big corpo, but that should only be reason to give them less of one lmao. especially considering meta's history in particular
don't let them lower the bar for moderation standards here
So annihilation.social, which seems to be an instance with known issues, is running a bot to identify and post about instances that are blocking #threads.
Other users are then using those posts to send messages to the instance admins asking them to justify their decision (to harass admins of instances that block #Meta, basically).
An example: https://attractive.space/@expert/111582436230554231

Hi @joanna, I hope you're well!
I noticed #Threads is blocked on your instance.
I'm curious about the reason behind this decision and would appreciate hearing your perspective.
What stops you wanting to interact with Threads users? Knowing you're on small instance, I understand it's a personal decision.
But I want to make sure that this isn't a situation when you just block Threads because everyone else blocks or 'cause you're a hater of #Meta .
Thanks in advance for reply.
