Today's Substack is an updated cross post of something I wrote some time back on Wordpress.

When you open the #ai features, they say that they can't look into your messages ect, but guess what? I don't believe you #Facebook #meta.

Anyone care to talk about how to block this?

(Moving from WhatsApp for my 2 contacts is not an option)

#security

So I use #whatsapp for 2 contacts as my parents won't switch to the far superior @signalapp

Noticed today #whatsapp had updated and introduced #AI features.

Its all over #Facebook now apparently.

No fuckin' thank you.

Analysis: Zuckerberg platforms & profits from Israel's illegal settlements

"Facebook has platformed more than 100 paid advertisements promoting illegal settlements & far-right settler activity in the occupied West Bank.

"Companies are selling homes in illegal settlements & individuals are fundraising to buy weapons for Israeli soldiers in Gaza."

Four years ago, human rights campaigner Tanya O’Carroll took on social media giant Meta when they refused to stop collecting and processing her personal data for targeted advertising.

In March 2025, Meta settled and agreed to honour O’Carroll’s right to object.

It's the end of an era! Back in 2011, my friend Joe told me about #diaspora, an alternative to #facebook with no ads and good privacy. I joined Diasp.org, and was on it... until today, as that pod (instance) has just closed.

I am grateful to David the 'podmin' for running the pod for so long. He didn't want it to be a service, but rather a springboard for people to have control over their own data and #SocialMedia interactions. (Insert lecture about the European #socialism that built the #fediverse )

Several friends joined Diapora back in the day, I think @redfern was among them. But it never took off among my peers, not enough to displace facebook. And of course, #Mastodon later appeared, and is now far larger than D*.

Still, I have a soft spot for Diaspora. I found another pod and will stay there (too) for now. But it won't be the same, you never forget your first non-commerical social media account! I spent time looking through all my old posts and downloading photo, ah, #nostalgia!

#Facebook #opsec #fail - rave "banter" group puts up video of a good looking young lass in England at a petrol station who ended up with empty baggie that held her #partydrugs stuck to her back as she fills up the car. Registration mark of car in full view.

To be fair some lads *did* point out sharing the video could be problematic, but *no-one* picked up on the fact they've essentially grassed her up for potential #DUI (any cop or bootlicker now has her vehicle number plate)

Finished the audio book of:

"Careless People: A Cautionary Tale of Power, Greed, and Lost Idealism" by Sarah Wynn-Williams today.

Brought to my attention by Facebook's attempt to stop it, and winning a case against it being publicized.

These people are far worse than I thought, and my opinion was already very low.

All in one place gives a better picture of what's already been revealed in public.

Un des trucs pénibles avec le fait de ne plus être sur Facebook : louper les concerts locaux qui sont majoritairement publiés sur #facebook
Ça donne très envie d’essayer de lier des events Facebook automatiquement avec https://mobilizon.org/ est-ce que quelqu’un a déjà vu des trucs dans ce sens ? #mobilizon

Yes, it would be devastating to european corporate IT traditions - and necessary.

so yes, please - bring it on.

We need to get rid of #Google, #AWS, #Facebook, #MicroSoft -
now more than ever.
If the current decline of the #US forces us to, let us get to work.

From my subjective observations, #group features in #Mastodon would go a long way in making people move from #facebook to here. #Groups is what keeps many users from #migrating.
And user want to access these groups in one place, not several,
they want the possibility to create them to just be there, not to have to code or integrate.
