The math on media is likewise, broken.
Zuckerberg sold out his users data to Cambridge Analytica, influencing the US election. Then he appeared before Congress like a contrite little schoolboy - "Oops! I didn't mean to accidentally cut multibillion dollar deals and sell out Facebook users. Honest mistake. I promise not to do it again ( unless the price is right! )"
Because of the math, he still came out ahead.

I left Meta's platforms a long time ago.

Having liberated ourselves, it is our duty to liberate others, who are still trapped, to give them their right to privacy.

People who are not savvy, are locked into the #Facebook walled garden, because of the Network Effect. ( "I can't leave Facebook. All my friends are on Facebook!" )

Here's a plan of action:
1) Place ads on Facebook, explaining the benefits of #Mastodon. 1. Freedom from Meta's censorship and algorithms. 2. A community owned, open social media platform.

2) When a user clicks, guide them through exporting their data from Facebook, and deleting their Facebook account.

3) Give them an optional questionnaire, asking about their interests, and match them with the right Mastodon instance.
4) If they skip the optional questionnaire, pick a random Mastodon instance for them.

5) Give them an option to enter into a Facebook migration registry.

6) Help them set up a Mastodon account and import their data.

7) If they opted into the migrant registry, reconnect them with their former Facebook connections, who also joined the registry. Like a reunion in Heaven with your loved ones. ☺️

I wear #glasses. I prefer wire frame/ Ben Franklin style glasses

Some people prefer bold bulky glasses. Some styles are stunning, I love them

But…

If you do, you have something new to worry about:

People thinking you might be a #Meta Creep

'“It was all very cute until the end of the conversation, when one of them was like, ‘So, these glasses have been recording this whole time.’” …Lin was taken aback at the young man not asking permission to film her'

#Surveillance


We are making amazing #tech advances!

Do not question questionable tech projects as creepy personality extensions of sleazy #techbros and transgressive shit hyped by douchebags!

' #women in #Brussels said they were secretly filmed by men wearing #Meta's "smart" #RayBan s, often during unsolicited interactions in the streets. Some of the footage was allegedly intended for #socialMedia content linked to so-called #dating or "seduction" coaching businesses'

Ok never mind

Local #Seattle artist Light Guerrilla projected “TAX THE RICH” on the side of Mark #Zuckerberg 's stupid boat while it was docked in Lake Union. The boat is now anchored in the middle of Elliott Bay several miles away.

I love that it’s common knowledge that social engineering is the easiest way to bypass security features, and #Meta said “Social engineering?? That sounds like a fun feature for a SOCIAL network huehuehuehue”
#meta


Decades upon decades of cryptography research, countless algorithms, encryption, 2 factor authentication, all to keep accounts safe

And #Meta decided it's a good idea to give a program from what you cannot predict the outcome access to such features

It doesn't matter how great your security is, if AI implementations just ignore it all and use the access they got from the company

Terrible decisions by a terrible company :facebook: :nkoGun:

Meta's AI support chatbot made it ridiculously easy for hackers to take over Instagram accounts - Engadget

New, by me: A number of high-profile and/or valuable Instagram accounts, including those of the Obama White House and the Chief Master Sergeant for the U.S. Space Force, got hacked and defaced with pro-Iran messaging in the past 24h after people figured out that Meta's AI support assistant could be tricked into resetting account passwords.

From the story:

"A video released on Telegram by pro-Iran hackers claimed to document a remarkably simple exploit that appears to have involved using a VPN connection with an IP address that is in or near the target's usual hometown, requesting a password reset for the account, and then choosing to chat with Meta's AI support assistant. From there, the video shows the attacker told the bot to link the account in question to a new email address, after which the bot dutifully sent that address a one-time code that allowed a password reset."

Wired: Meta Employees Are Scrambling to Use Up Benefits Ahead of Layoffs

On the eve of about 8,000 jobs being cut, employees are cashing in on headphone stipends and other perks while they still can.

"...Two employees describe a widespread rush to use up an annual $2,000 flexible benefit, which can cover a variety of expenses including health and wellness activities. A separate triennial credit of $200 toward the purchase of audio gear has led to a scramble to purchase Apple AirPods and other headphones. Another source says Meta offices have been largely empty this week, as people prioritize polishing their résumés and gather offsite to commiserate with friends for what may be their final time as colleagues. Employees are variously “paralyzed,” “coasting,” and “panicked,” sources say...."

Meta’s New Reality: Record High Profits. Record Low Morale

BY PARESH DAVE, LAUREN GOODE, STEVEN LEVY, AND ZOË SCHIFFER | 7-MINUTE READ

Next week, Meta is cutting about 10 percent of its staff. WIRED spoke with more than a dozen current and former employees about what it's like inside a company where "everyone is unhappy."

"... “Everyone is unhappy; the only people who are not unhappy are, literally, executives,” says an employee who works on Instagram...."

This is why unionization is important.

The working class needs to have a say in how their workplaces are run!

Especially with someone as out of touch as Zuck at the wheel.

First time seeing a “NO META GLASSES” sign in the door of a shop! I’m not surprised… and I expect we might see more of these kind of things in the years ahead.

Key words in this sentence? “Have said”.
“Meta & Microsoft have said they're shedding staff explicitly to free up cash flow to invest in AI”🤥
Now fast becoming a fashionable excuse for need to cut staff because line went down. 😐
So sorry for all the people who believed in the good things & values. Hope you all get better work with better employers. 🙏🏻
