Le gouvernement israélien a fait supprimer à #Meta des publications pro-palestiniennes dans plus d’une dizaine de pays arabes

next.ink/brief_article/le-gouv

#DropSite relève que seulement 1,3 % des requêtes de suppression formulées par le gouvernement israélien concerne ses propres internautes, quand l’immense majorité des autres gouvernements s’intéressent à du contenu domestique (63 % des requêtes de la Malaisie se concentrent du contenu publié en Malaise, 95 % de celles formulées par le Brésil concernent du contenu brésilien).

NextLe gouvernement israélien a fait supprimer à Meta des publications pro-palestiniennes dans plus d’une dizaine de pays arabes - NextDepuis l’attaque terroriste du Hamas contre Israël le 7 octobre 2023, l’État a réalisé une opération de modération des plateformes de Meta d’un genre particulier : il a formulé des requêtes de suppression de contenus publiés dans quantité de pays étrangers. D’après des documents internes obtenus par Drop Site, une newsletter créée par d’anciens journalistes […]

I left Instagram YEARS AGO and I deleted my account: the account was disabled for 30 days and then - according to #Meta - DELETED.

Today I've received a genuine email from Meta telling me that I cannot login because my password is wrong, asking me to reset password in order to reactivate my account.

Clearly, someone is trying to force that account, but does this mean that META DIDN'T ACTUALLY DELETE MY ACCOUNT AS REQUESTED?

@ORF_News Mit #Musk und den Manipulationen der Kilometerzähler von #Tesla wird es ähnlich wie mit #Zuckerberg und #Meta.
Sowohl Zuckerberg als auch Musk sind Freunde von Trump. Der wird ihnen sagen, dass sie Urteile mit Strafen ignorieren sollen und Trump persönlich wird sich darum kümmern, dass die entsprechenden Jurist*innen gefeuert werden.

Auch die Mail bekommen? Meta führt im April / Mai 2025 in Deutschland KI in Facebook, Instagram und Whatsapp ein.

Künftig will #Meta auch die Inhalte von deutschen Nutzer*innen als Trainingsmaterial für die eigene künstliche Intelligenz verwenden. Auch Bilder, Stories, Bildunterschriften oder Nachrichten sollen Meta AI beim Lernen helfen.

Die Benutzer*innen werden aber nicht um Zustimmung gefragt. Und widersprechen kann man nur umständlich und nur bei Facebook und Instagram, bei Whatsapp gar nicht. 🤯

Am 27. Mai wird Meta beginnen, mit den Daten all jener Nutzer zu trainieren, die bis dahin nicht widersprochen haben. Datenschützer hatten versucht, diese Datensammlung zu verhindern.

Verwendete Quellen:

Lösung:
Höchste Zeit Meta nicht mehr zu nutzen, die Konten + Dienste zu löschen + deinstallieren, und zu Alternativen zu wechseln:
#Whatsapp => #Signal
#Facebook / #Instagram => #Fediverse

Interview: Facebook Whistleblower on Breaking Up Meta’s Monopoly

"Meta has an illegal monopoly in social media & should be forced to divest Instagram & WhatsApp.
~US Federal Trade Commission

“We’ve let one company, one man, influence the information environment for the world."

Excellent: EU race to rearm is pointless if hostile foreign powers can still use online algorithms to boost authoritarians to power across Europe. Europe’s new “Democracy Shield” should immediately shut them down.

The Guardian · Europe’s race to rearm is pointless if its adversaries are waging war onlineBy Johnny Ryan

With reference to … This Is How Meta AI Staffers Deemed More Than 7 Million Books to Have No “Economic Value” wandering.shop/@jwilker/114353 (via wandering.shop/@jwilker/114353):

"Robber baron" is a pejorative term used to describe powerful and wealthy American industrialists and financiers during the late 19th century, an era often referred to as the Gilded Age. The term implies social criticism, suggesting these businessmen were unethical, unscrupulous, or ruthless in their practices.

They were accused of amassing their fortunes through exploitative methods, such as monopolizing large industries (often by forming trusts), restricting output to raise prices, exploiting workers through practices like wage slavery, engaging in unethical business dealings, squashing competition, and influencing government officials. The term combines the idea of criminal behavior ("robber") with illegitimate aristocracy ("baron").

Some prominent figures commonly labeled as robber barons include John D. #Rockefeller, Andrew #Carnegie, Cornelius #Vanderbilt, J.P. #Morgan, and Leland #Stanford, among others.

The Wandering ShopJohn Wilker 👨🏽‍💻 (@jwilker@wandering.shop)I'm sorry but fuck tech. Fuck the valley. Fuck Zuckerberg and all his ilk. They want society glued to screens doomscrolling until we die (which many seem ok with). I know breaking up with Facebook and Insta, etc are hard. But using them and claiming to support authors/artists simply don't line up. Not only that, they empower this behavior. It's time to leave Facebook. https://www.vanityfair.com/news/story/meta-ai-lawsuit #bookstodon @bookstodon@a.gup.pe #creativeculture #writersofmastodon

leo que Meta añade un «chatbot» como opción en las conversaciones de #Whatsapp :blobthinkingeyes:

he ido a mirar qué es eso, que a mi me ajuntas #AI & #Meta y los ojos me hacen chirivitas (ironía).

leo:

Información acerca del uso de las experiencias con la IA disponibles a través de WhatsApp

El hecho de hablar con una IA proporcionada por Meta no vincula la información de tu cuenta personal de WhatsApp a Facebook, Instagram ni ninguna otra aplicación proporcionada por Meta.

Información acerca de Meta AI

A fin de ofrecerte respuestas más relevantes, es posible que Meta AI utilice información de las cuentas que añadiste en el Centro de cuentas, como Facebook o Instagram, e información como tus intereses, ubicación y perfiles. Además, esta información puede utilizarse para mejorar la IA en Meta.

:blobhyperthink: tengo que seguir leyendo, porque suponiendo, y es mucho suponer, que Meta hace lo que dice que hace (y cienes de veces hemos visto que no), ya sólo las dos citas me parecen contradictorias. Probablemente, en términos legales, seguro que no hay ninguna contradicción entre «vincular» y «utilizar información».

Añado que es de extrema candidez confiar en el buen criterio del ser humano :sorrisosloth: y hacer un uso responsable y adulto de Whatsapp

Lo que envíes a Meta se puede utilizar para proporcionarte respuestas precisas o para mejorar los modelos de la IA de Meta, así que no envíes mensajes a Meta con información que no desees que conozca.

La verdad, mediwuá si no fuese por algún familiar que me importa y cree tener que usar whatsapp. A ver cómo le explico que ahora empiece a tener cuidado con lo que lee/escucha en esa conversación con su amiga o hermana etc. Ni me va a entender ni yo sabré explicárselo :pats:

Continued thread

As an add on to the post above, if you don't think speaking out against Israel's genocide in Gaza and on behalf of the people being slaughtered there matters, then why is the Netanyahu government working so hard with multi-billion dollar social media companies like Meta to suppress pro-Palestinian speech online?

Leaked Data Reveals Massive Israeli Campaign to Remove Pro-Palestine Posts on Facebook and Instagram

"A sweeping crackdown on posts on Instagram and Facebook that are critical of Israel—or even vaguely supportive of Palestinians—was directly orchestrated by the government of Israel, according to internal Meta data obtained by Drop Site News. The data show that Meta has complied with 94% of takedown requests issued by Israel since October 7, 2023. Israel is the biggest originator of takedown requests globally by far, and Meta has followed suit—widening the net of posts it automatically removes, and creating what can be called the largest mass censorship operation in modern history.

Government requests for takedowns generally focus on posts made by citizens inside that government’s borders, Meta insiders said. What makes Israel’s campaign unique is its success in censoring speech in many countries outside of Israel. What’s more, Israel's censorship project will echo well into the future, insiders said, as the AI program Meta is currently training how to moderate content will base future decisions on the successful takedown of content critical of Israel’s genocide."

As I've noted elsewhere, it's very clear that the pro-genocide Pig Empire establishment used the sham ceasefire Trump supposedly brokered in Gaza as an excuse to reset the discourse and resume the genocide at pace. We've returned to a pre-2024 media environment of silence and minimization of crimes against humanity, particularly in America, and these folks are working overtime to keep you from talking about, and hopefully (for genocidal monsters) thinking about Gaza while Israel attempts to wipe out the Palestinians there before we wake up and realize what's going on.

The only way to fight this, is to keep talking about it, and resisting both the genocide and the US government's support for it. We've been here before and broke through the cone of silence; in fact that's the whole reason the ruling class establishment is trying to rewind the discourse around the genocide in Gaza to a pre-2024 state. We must not let them get away with it by contributing to that cone of silence.
