Facebook/Meta are now demanding a monthly fee from owners of Facebook Pages to post links to outside sites:

https://www.socialmediatoday.com/news/facebook-pages-get-charged-for-link-posts/830743

The monthly fee Meta are demanding for posting links on Facebook Pages is quite astonishing:

US$50 per month for 8 links
US$150 per month for 20 links
US$500 per month for unlimited links

This is many times more than the cost of running your own website, cloud and social media server all put together. Independence is much cheaper and better.

I’ve found it quite annoying when NGOs (and their Green followers on Mastodon) bash genuine progress, on the basis that it doesn’t solve everything immediately.

#privacy

An interesting conflict between a Dutch media creator Roel Maalderink (together with Bits of Freedom) and Meta regarding Meta glasses.

The guy made a video wearing the glasses outside the Meta office in Amsterdam.

The video showed several Meta employees reacting negatively to the glasses, and even asking multiple times if he was filming (showing that even they couldn’t see if the glasses are active.)

Instagram took the video offline, which is the first time this creator had a takedown of one of his videos.

I hope this goes viral beyond The Netherlands.

Edit: Added a Fedi post by Roel himself.

Das #Internet ist zum Glück derart gebaut, dass es sich nicht ohne Weiteres kontrollieren lässt.
Es wird Umgehungen geben, aber auch Verschiebungen zu anderen - vermutl. dezentralen - #Netzwerke'n.
Wenn der Dreck von #Meta, #Tiktik & Co darunter leiden, kann ich damit leben.
Und vor Gericht erwarte ich ebenso - irgrndwann mal - eine Zurückweisung von genereller Zwangsidentifizierung.

With Meta’s launch of “Muse” on September 8, 2026, consumers are pushed further out of the loop. Just one step closer toward losing control over their own lives.
This clearly undermines consumers’ IT security and raises unresolved liability issues.

At the same time, Amazon is trying to ban Muse agents from its platform, because they would ruin the “customer experience” due "bypassing the personalisation Amazon has built into" 😅

Meanwhile, a Polish minister asks the @EUCommission to impose a fine against #Meta of ridiculously low €250 million. Maybe he forgot one or two zeros there? 🤦

"Meta can remove “like” counts. What it will not remove is the reason it built them. The penalty does not change that calculation. Roughly $17 billion paid over ten years is about $1.7 billion a year, or roughly ten days of #Meta’s annual profit. Children were harmed for years while this business model ran unchecked. This settlement addresses some of what that produced. It does not touch what produced it."

Plus *everything* @SuVergnolle says:

https://eupolicy.social/@SuVergnolle/117166721904139612

For those following #Meta's $17bn settlement in California to avoid conviction for harmful platform design, #CDD has an excellent commentary:

“The settlement reaches the features of Meta’s platforms but not the engine that drives them. Meta earns nearly all of its money from #advertising. Young people’s attention is the inventory it sells. Design that captures and holds that attention is not a flaw in the business model, it is the business model working as intended. -->

Smart glasses are in European regulators’ and lawmakers’ crosshairs over privacy and surveillance concerns.

But the bloc’s batteries regulation also held up the EU rollout of Meta’s latest model in recent months because the glasses’ built-in batteries cannot be easily removed and replaced.

FICK #Meta I don't need them in my life at all...

@thenewoil Thinking that Meta would choose to keep users thoughts/emotions read only would be naive.

If their AI's can access and read users emotions, they can use their outputs to influence emotions, as Meta's much cruder 2012 study showed.

That pales in comparison to what would be possible now.

The importance of transparency in what the algorithms show you and why has never been more important.

Unplanned walk through Waikiki today stopped at Meta Lab storefront. Massive crowd on the sidewalk moved in and a guy set up a velvet rope in front of me. After all the VIP were let in, the person at the door apologized for the wait. I was the 3rd public person let in and got myself some canopies they were serving. It was hilarious to me since I was a sweaty mess from my walk with all these VIP dressed up for the event. Saw only two people that I assume were buying.

🤯 Instagram is testing new iOS push notifications that include a profile photo. Each time the notification is shown on your screen, it triggers a GET request to fetch that image, letting Meta track every on-screen impression.

The app still misuses push notifications to send detailed device analytics about the device (uptime, battery, volume, locale, timezone, memory, CPU, etc.)

From the why-is-this-even-legal category: Meta has quietly added facial recognition code for smart glasses to its app. The feature, called NameTag internally, can reportedly identity people captured by the smart glasses’ camera as well as alert the wearer when it recognizes someone (We’re guessing this would often be used to avoid them).

Okay maybe we have to wait for the judgement itself as the Court's press release kind of leaves it open if the Court has assessed the question whether #Meta #Marketplace is a CPS or if it stopped with finding the EC has not sufficiently assessed this.

In which case the EC could try again. #DMA

Oh my that was not on my bingo card today:

The EU's General Court says Meta's #Marketplace isn't really a #gatekeeper under the #DMA because #Meta has made changes to its business user functionality which the EC didn't properly assess. The Court also confirmed that designating Messenger as a gatekeeper was correct.

So kind of a half-win half-loss for the EC but I fear this will make the EC even more over-cautious and DMA enforcement even weaker. 😬

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."

Wann wird die #republica zum BigTech-freien Safe-Space? #rp26 erneut mit problematischem Sponsoring

Die re:publica versteht sich als Ort für kritischen Austausch über Digitalisierung, Demokratie und Macht. Deshalb ist es problematisch, dass BigTech-Konzerne als Sponsoren und „Partner“ vertreten sind. Dieses Jahr sind es Google und Meta. Das normalisiert deren Macht und trägt zum Ungleichgewicht zwischen Monopol-Plattformen und Gesellschaft bei.

Das Sponsoring vermittelt den Eindruck, als seien diese Konzerne einfach nur „Teil des Diskurses“ oder "Stimme der Industrie" und nicht zentrale Treiber von Plattformmonopolen, Überwachungskapitalismus und Abhängigkeiten in unserer Gesellschaft.

Nach Angaben der #republica machen die Sponsoring-Einnahmen von #Google und #Meta zusammen nur rund 1,6 % der gesamten Sponsoring-Einnahmen aus. Die #republica könnte auf dieses Geld verzichten. Dass sie es nicht tut, ist eine bewusste Entscheidung.

Deshalb: Die nächste #republica muss ein BigTech-freier Safer Space werden.

Of course you may say: "if there is demand, how can we blame them for selling, isn't that just capitalism?". Taking my business to whoever makes choices I want to encourage is valid under capitalism too, though.

It's easy for them to count their profits on these products, while lost business is harder to measure. So I guess we should be telling them. Social media is a start 😊.

He currently lives 5 hours by car away from me in a different state. We have had no contact since we were kids. We have NO friends in common. We have no common interests that I can see from his Instagram or Facebook. (In fact, based on some media accounts he follows I doubt we would be super friendly as adults). I literally only knew him because he lived like 8 houses away when I was a child and we went to the same neighborhood church. We just played with Tonka trucks and G.I. Joes together. Kind of dumbfounded at this. Is Meta buying former residence locations from data brokers and matching up people who lived in the same neighborhood as kids? A bit of a reach and really demonstrates how creepy their surveillance infrastructure is. #SurveillanceCapitalism

A 20-year-old from Chico, California, accomplished what Senate hearings, congressional subcommittees, and parent groups have tried and failed to do for years. She persuaded a jury that Instagram and YouTube were designed to keep kids hooked, and that this was done on purpose. The jury awarded $6 million in damages, with Meta responsible for 70%. What really changed the case was internal emails showing the company knew what it was doing and kept going. That is the most troubling part, not just the verdict.

There is something important that has not been said clearly enough: this case was not about content. It was about design. The algorithm, the endless scroll, and the timing of notifications were at the center. For 30 years, Section 230 has protected these companies by treating them as neutral pipes. Now, this jury decided the pipe itself is the problem.

Hundreds of similar lawsuits are waiting in line. The first federal trial is set for June in San Francisco. For the first time, Zuckerberg took the stand, which probably means we will see more moments like this. Meanwhile, the plaintiff’s attorney used a jar of M&Ms to show the jury what $415 billion looks like. Was it corny? Maybe. But the jury got the point.

Tech companies have survived every regulatory threat by waiting them out. But juries are not as easy to influence.

I have 94k followers on Instagram, and this is not the first time Instagram has targeted Palestinian content. They delete my work and the journalistic materials I publish, and I receive warnings that my account may be shut down completely.

My older account was already closed, so I opened a new one, but I am now receiving warnings that clearly reflect its complicity with the Zionists in their genocide

🤯 Instagram is testing new iOS push notifications that include a profile photo. Each time the notification is shown on your screen, it triggers a GET request to fetch that image, letting Meta track every on-screen impression.

The app still misuses push notifications to send detailed device analytics about the device (uptime, battery, volume, locale, timezone, memory, CPU, etc.)

When Puff Daddy turned out to be a scum bag, that hurt but life goes on. You listen to different music. When big tech turns out to be a scumbag, what is the alternative? Samsung flip phones? Duckduckgo? MapQuest? I'm at the point where I don't want anything to do with companies that willingly go along with nonsense for what must be monetary gains.

"The cases against #Meta, #Twitter, and #Google were losers from the start, & the courts seemed pretty clear on that. But both Meta and soon (if not already) ExTwitter will “settle” the cases funneling many millions of dollars directly to #Trump.

It’s hard to see this as anything other than a pathway to #corruption. Presidents can just sue #media properties... and then the companies all “settle” the cases, funneling millions of dollars to the President."

IF THAT'S NOT ENOUGH FOR YOU AND YOU'RE READY FOR MORE...

Let's say you're following a hashtag but not seeing a lot of it. This mostly happens if you're on a small instance, rather than a large one.

But we can fix it!

We'll fix it using Fedibuzz, a hashtag aggregator.

Let's use "monsterdon" again.

You take your tag, and add it to the end of this URL:

https ://relay.fedi.buzz/tag/

In this case, that gives you:

https ://relay.fedi.buzz/tag/monsterdon

Copy that into the search box (without the space), and hit enter. You'll see a special profile come up, with a Follow button.

Click on the follow button.

Done.

You still need the tag subscription, but now you'll see more. Enjoy!

🚫 Defederation Threads 🚫

As a reaction to the announcement of Meta from yesterday, I have decided to defederate Threads on mountains.social.

The video announcement and the more detailed information on The Verge (https://www.theverge.com/2025/1/7/24338471/meta-hate-speech-hateful-conduct-policy-moderation) made this ultimately an easy decision.

I simply cannot justify to federate with an instance, which explicitly says targeting minority groups is allowed (from which many of them call the Fediverse their home).

I will suspend Threads per Sunday January 19th. This will give people the time to migrate away from mountains.social, without losing connections with Thread users. In case you want to migrate and have issues, I'm happy to assist.

#MountainsAdmin #Meta #Threads

Viceversa, if any user would be against this decision, the staff is open for discussing it through Mastodon/Discord/Matrix. Should this not be enough, I completely understand if you would leave The Gamer's Tavern and there won't be any hard feelings.

If you're going to reply to this thread remember: "In a world where you can be anything, choose to be gentle"

Alex out.

#Threads #Meta #TheGamersTavern #Mastodon #MastoAdmin #FediAdmin

We're in for one of the darkest periods in the history of mankind, with most of the world political parties turning to the far right wing, and for the little we can, we will always make our users the top priority.

In case you would not feel safe anymore in your Mastodon home, know that there will always be a seat for you at The Gamer's Tavern.

4/ 🧵

#Threads #Meta #TheGamersTavern #Mastodon #MastoAdmin #FediAdmin

But, with all the recent fuckeries about AI profiles, sketchy content and the cherry on the top, the full endorsing and usage of the Trump administration to leverage the avoidance of the stricter (and thank the gods for that) European laws against hate speech, harmful contents and whatnots in social media, we took the decision with a heavy heart to save our users and de-federate completely with Threads.net

3/ 🧵

#Threads #Meta #TheGamersTavern #Mastodon #MastoAdmin #FediAdmin

When Threads started federating we knew that sooner or later something bad would happen, but we decided at the time to go for a mild approach and just limit the federation.

That mean that no posts from Threads were available from the get-go in the Federated timeline and following an user would require to know the handle.

We decided to do so with our users in mind, to give them the chance to broaden their home timeline

2/ 🧵

#Threads #Meta #TheGamersTavern #Mastodon #MastoAdmin #FediAdmin

Hey adventurers!

Get ready for a thread(s).

With all the recent heat about Meta and seeing that the company decided to fully take advantage of a pretty much fascist political party to leverage their own needs, after a peaceful discussion the staff at The Gamer's Tavern decided to de-federate from Threads.net effective immediately.

"This isn't about Meta being scared of Trump. It's about Zuckerberg recognizing an opportunity. He's not capitulating to pressure; he's aligning himself with power. There's a difference. The company that claimed it needed to protect teens from LGBTQ content is now suddenly concerned about having too many content restrictions. What changed? The political winds."
