Hier gibt es einen wirklich guten Beitrag von ZDFInfo über die Entwicklung von Mark Zuckerberg vom Tech-Nerd zum Trump-Gefolgsmann.

How long do we think Zuckerberg has left at Meta? Its been just one debacle after the other. Now theyre doing another 20% of layoffs. Not really the sign of a healthy company.
I do wonder if Meta will become like AOL, just coasting on old users habits and advertising network.
"#Meta spent a record $26.3 million on federal lobbying in 2025, deployed 86+ lobbyists across 45 states, and covertly funded a "grassroots" child safety group called the Digital Childhood Alliance (DCA) to advocate for the App Store Accountability Act - which requires app stores to verify user ages before downloads but imposes no requirements on social media platforms."

A redditor (Ok_Lingonberry3296) traced $2 billion in nonprofit grants and lobbying records across 45 states to figure out who's behind the age verification bills.
The answer is Meta - a company that profits from your data writing laws that collect more of it.

Facebook and Google are handing over user #data to help police prosecute #abortion seekers
"As abortion bans across the nation are implemented and enforced, law enforcement is turning to social media platforms to build cases to prosecute women seeking abortions or abortion-inducing medication – and online platforms like #Google and #Facebook are helping.
This spring, a woman named Jessica Burgess and her daughter will stand trial in #Nebraska for performing an illegal abortion — with a key piece of evidence provided by #Meta, the parent company of Facebook."

@davidculley so what? Actually, many contributions from #meta #facebook to #opensource world including #MySQL. #RocksDB born there. And don't forget #zstd.
I find myself in a bit of a quandary. For some background, I am LGBTQIA. I am the wrong kind of #LGBTQIA as this week has taught me. Being #enby, #pan, and #poly means I am not valid to a large group of the community.
I had a #TikTok following of about 80,000. I closed my accounts, all of them, over a week ago in support of LGBTQIA+ creators being targeted by the new owners of TikTok.
Now I find out that many of those people do not care for or support me in anyway. A large group of them called me out then blocked me on the shit show known as #Facebook because I posted a #ChatGPT cartoon of myself. (See below)
I am beyond hurt and depressed. No one bothered to reach out to me personally, they just ran their mouths behind my back. I am now a traitor to the community because I used ChatGPT.
This has me feeling like my entire existence doesn’t matter. All the work I have done to support and build up OUR community seems to not matter at all.
If this is how we treat each other, no wonder we have trouble finding straight allies!

I fired fb after the Cambridge Analytica scandal broke. As they say: "No ragrets."
Funny how few bot follows I get on Mastodon. Easy to spot, and easy to block.
Far too many people, myself included, relied on #facebook for #community
Now this roll out of disabling accounts and asking for video selfies to prove identity are going to leave a lot of those people in a quandary. Submit a selfie or lose connection to community.
I refuse, and i'm not sad about no longer being able to access facebook because I am done with the trolls and bots. But I am devastated that i've instantly lost connection to local groups and old friends with whom I never exchanged numbers, because we relied on facebook.
I dont know how to build community without it.
I mean I know i'll get over it, i'll find other ways of connecting and i'm sure I can ask my eldest daughter to message old friends with my number for me, but right now this feels incredibly cruel and intentional. Meta know that people will panic about losing their communities and connections and upload those video selfies.

That's me finally done with #Facebook then. Last time I was 'done' was because they blocked my account for using a VPN. Now I am unable to log in without providing a video selfie. There is NO WAY I am doing that, so thats me actually finally done with it now.
Homeland Security Wants Social Media Sites to Expose Anti-ICE Accounts
The department has sent Google, Meta and other companies hundreds of subpoenas for information on accounts that track or comment on ICE, officials and tech workers said.

The Department of Homeland Security (#DHS) is expanding its efforts to identify Americans who oppose #ICE by sending tech companies legal requests for the names, email addresses, telephone numbers and other identifying data behind social media accounts that track or criticize the agency.
In recent months, #Google, #Reddit, #Discord and #Meta, which owns #Facebook and #Instagram, have received hundreds of administrative subpoenas from the DHS, according to four government officials and tech employees privy to the requests.

Hooray! 🎉And now for some good news - Spain has followed in Australia's steps and is banning social media for under-16-year-olds starting from next week, and says it is due to meet with 4 other neighbouring nations considering doing the same to talk cross-border cooperative rules.
I was delighted to discuss this topic yesterday evening on @trtworld's live Newshour programme. Really hopeful that this change sweeps across the EU and the UK, and then following that, new legislations are considered to protect children from being forced to become social media influencers too.

#Twitter war schön. Dann immer nervigere Werbung. Als dann die Timeline nicht mehr auf “Folge” einstellbar war, war Schluß. Auf meinem 1st-Hobby Account nur noch Links in’s #Fediversum. Mein größter SM-Fehler war es, eine Hobby-Gruppe bei #Facebook zu starten. Wie der Zauberlehrling mit den Besen werde ich das nicht mehr los. Aber auch da poste ich oft nur noch Links. Ebenso in meinen anderen SM Hobby Accounts (#Bluesky, #Threads, … Bei #WSocial Mal sehen)
Für heute habe ich mir #Youtube vor genommen. Hochladen ist #dudit, aber das Ansehen! Das ist richtig fies, die Timeline schafft es immer mal wieder, mich zu fesseln. Am Besten, es gibt keine Grund Youtube zu starten. Und da sind wir bei der Follow-Klocke. Wenn die Videos nun mal sonst nirgends zu sehen sind? Auf dem iPad gibt es auch keine Werbefreimach-App.
Bei meinen Gefolgten sind einige aus den Öffentlichen, die doch gefälligst ihr Material in der Mediathek ablegen sollten. Da fehlt dann wieder die "Folgen-App”. Sollte technisch möglich sein, muß nur mal einer machen |-)

@kattascha Mit der Wahrnehmung liegst du völlig richtig, das lässt sich auch empirisch nachweisen, siehe Grafik. In dem Bericht heißt es weiter:
"Traditional social networks like #Facebook and #X continue to go through an identity crisis as open sharing and connection goes out of fashion. In a recent court filing, Meta revealed that only 17% of time spent on Facebook and just 7% on #Instagram now involves content from friends and family. Most of the time is spent watching videos (or other content) from strangers in an endless feed based on personal interests"

My biggest concern about leaving Facebook and Twitter (years ago now) was losing touch with my friends. As it turns out, my actual friends made the effort to stay in touch via other means, the rest were people who pretty much only communicated via likes and emojis.
Those people aren't your friends. They're just internet acquaintance that you exchange compliments with. You'll be fine without them, trust me.
@KraftTea the problem is, people are STILL remaining in corporate #SocialMedia , giving clicks, thus money, to fashy techbros who give that money to fascist thugs seeking to enslave us all.
Every post, every click at #facebook #linkedin #threads #instagram #xitter #bluesky is helping the nazi fash to erode democracy.
It's their choice, really. They elect to remain and support that.
Today I deleted #facebook icon from my mobile. Also X (though I barely used it), TikTok (the same)... although I still have a step to make to actually delete most of the social media, not so much because of #fomo , just because I keep in touch with various people on various platforms - I am realizing the truth I know already: who wants to get in touch with you, they will find a way.
Currently, I am mostly here on Mastodon.
I like the quietness of the place and also the variety of interesting topics, although I don't understand a good half of them :)

Pacheco, a frequent critic of the Miami Beach mayor, said she didn’t think much of a #Facebook comment she wrote on January 7, in which she pointed out the mayor’s hypocrisy over calling the city a safe haven for all.
“The guy who consistently calls for the death of all #Palestinians, tried to shut down a theater for showing a movie that hurt his feelings, and REFUSES to stand up for the LGBTQ community in any way (even leaves the room when they vote on related matters) wants you to know that you’re all welcome here,” she wrote, following up with three clown emojis.

Meanwhile on #Facebook some old boomer climate denier challenged me to drive my EV to Europe and see who wins.
Fully charged my #EV will do around 270 miles. My chosen driving route would be via Hull and the North Sea Ferries; however let's see... Dover is 232 miles away. Even on a very cold day with heaters running I'd make the terminal with about 5% energy left.
That means I can drive quite a few miles into France and even make it into Belgium before needing a charge - and that's if we go #Eurotunnel.
You see, that's the problem. They don't actually have the slightest clue what they're on about. They believe the #dailymail , #telegraph and the other right wing papers, meanwhile I drive around in a 285bhp van which will quite happily 0-60 most cars and takes me to Wolverhampton and back without me even thinking of charging.
The world has moved on. They haven't, and soon it's going to be embarrassing.
It's official, the #Metaverse failed!
Meanwhile I don't even know 1 person who ever visited it 😅

The most annoying thing about corporate surveillance to me is the arrogance of the prediction mechanisms.
These algorithms build a model of me based on my clicks from three years ago and then try to trap me in that loop forever. They show me music they think I'll like, and news they think I'll engage with, and videos they think will enrage me enough to keep me hooked to their platforms. They are actively trying to flatten my personality into something easy to monetize.
As most people I've seen say out loud, "Privacy as a concept is way beyond hiding secrets. A part of it also means preserving your capacity to change. To be surprised. To be inconsistent."
If I could tell every human one thing, it would be to actively refuse to be a predictable data point. Mess up their metrics. In whatever way you are capable of.

So I’m just curious, has anyone actually thought to ask the people who live in #Greenland what they think or what they want? Because I’ve seen precious little evidence that anyone has. It seems that they’re being treated like the non-player characters #Musk used to talk about. I brought this up on a #Facebook post earlier today, and someone told me that 50,000 or 60,000 people live there, the implication being what they thought didn’t really matter. Meanwhile, we are seeing the dealmaking skills that so many people thought made #Trump a great President, though these skills begin and end with acting like a mob boss. #USPol

Just what where they spending all that money on?

Absolutely!
The thing that will kill creep glasses this time is the same thing that killed them last time (Google Glass, remember those?) - public opprobrium.
If you see anyone wearing them, assume they are recording (because they can hide that fact if they want) -- and then, more importantly, ensure everyone around *knows* the creep is recording them without permission.
Do this loudly and visibly. Stop, point directly at them, and yell "HEY, GLASSHOLE - STOP RECORDING PEOPLE WITHOUT PERMISSION" and continue by telling everyone "Hey, that guy <points> is recording people"...
Humiliate them, publicly. Shame them. Ostracize them. If someone you know is using them, go hard, and make sure everyone else you know knows they are doing it.
That is what will make them stop. Make the personal cost to their dignity, social acceptance, embarassment, everything total out more than the creepy voyeurism is worth, and they will drop it like a hot potato.
