Need any other reasons to abandon all Meta platforms immediately?

Two posts from Laura Bassett.

"Someone just sent me a Chase ad that features an AI version of me. What do I do?"

"Okay. Apparently Meta updated its terms so that they can use your photos and videos to generate AI versions of you that your friends can see in ads."

"Are you selling me a solution or a dependency?" is a question I think more people should ask.

PSA: You may already have seen it by now but if you're a music nerd who uses Last.fm, and you're using Spotify, the latter will now require reconnecting to external services every 6 months. (Glad I hopped to Tidal) Here's what the scrobbles on an artist page look like since the change...

The social media ban for under-16s does nothing to sort out the harms caused by platforms. Harmful content is a product of a business model that uses data to drive engagement and target users with ads. Digital ID checks feed more data into this system, while leaving the engine for harms unchecked.

Starmer’s social media ban fails to address root causes of online harms

If someone had told me 20 years ago "In 20 years you'll be using a much shittier, buggier version of photoshop, but you won't own it! You'll rent it for a quarter of a thousand dollars every year!" I would have murdered them

Biomekkanik are back and I had no idea until I was checking out the WGT running order - absolutely giddy - there was a new album teaser in 2017 and then I assumed that they got kidnapped by technosapiens or something but always held out hope we'd see something new. #synthpop #EBM #Biomekkanik

terrible. 20 years ago, the internet was full of hobbyist blogs and forums. over time, these have been replaced by paywalled substacks and private discord channels, each a walled garden. google's decision to prioritize AI just makes it less likely people will create free, public info

Google is justifying a move to default AI search by saying it "removes friction." The problem is that friction is a necessary part of life and this incessant need to rid ourselves of it is going to lead to so many problems we can't anticipate.

Here are some of the scary jack o'lanterns I've made for our cats over the years. First: the cone.

Photo of a glowing jack o’lantern sitting in a dark room. It is illuminated from within so you can see that a cat wearing a surgical recovery collar also known as Elizabethan collar has been carved on the surface.

Imgur is now blocked in the UK. Easier for them to just block than try and comply. The OSA is a shameful law that has no place in a country calling itself civilised. The switch looks to have been flipped on at 9pm. #imgur

Here we go… this is what they really wanted from the Online Safety Act. A way to blanket ban VPN use entirely.

The U.K. Online Safety Act was (avowedly, as revealed in a recent High Court case) “not primarily aimed at protecting children” but at regulating “services that have a significant influence over public discourse.”

Parts of the Internet are going dark since the Online Safety Act heaped weighty duties on platforms. Sites are geoblocking the UK, overmoderating content, age-gating access or shutting down completely. We need your help to track how content is being censored ⬇️

When we throw up our hands and say none of it matters, we're doing the fascists’ work for them. They don't need to hide their corruption if they can convince us it's pointless to look. They don't need to silence truth-tellers if we've already decided truth is meaningless.
