Can’t recommend this enough. Wynn-Williams’ account of her time at Meta is appalling. The company is a cancer that has done potentially irrevocable damage to the world.

The latest from @dittomusic.bsky.social. Apparently ‘repetitive, soundscape, meditative’ music is now banned by Apple Music (again, the album in question isn’t close to this description, and AI wasn’t touched in the creation process). What is there left to say? #applemusic #dittomusic

For context, here’s a snippet from the ‘generic instrumental’ album that’s being rejected by @dittomusic.bsky.social / Apple Music.

John Garner @johnjamesgarner.bandcamp.com · 30/01/2025
The latest from @dittomusic.bsky.social on blocking my latest release on Apple Music. Nothing about the album in question is ‘generic’. Who is deciding this and why? Or is this AI decision-making shafting us in delightful new ways? Nothing on the ‘Music Style Guide’ gives any clarity. PLEASE AMPLIFY
