🔸 Dissatisfied with Llama 4, Zuckerberg takes direct control of Meta’s AGI efforts.
🔸 New elite team of ~50 experts to focus on next-gen models.
🔸 Meta lags behind OpenAI, Google, Anthropic & xAI in the AGI race.
🔸 Goal: build AI that can do anything a human can.

Meta illegaly downloaded 80+ terabytes of books from LibGen, Anna's Archive, and Z-library to train their Al models. In 2010, Aaron Swartz downloaded only 70 GBs of articles from JSTOR (0.0875% of Meta). Faced $1 million in fine and 35 years in jail. Took his own life in 2013.
Regulation works, if you enforce it:
➡️ Netherlands: Bits of Freedom won their challenge against #Meta - who must now offer a chronological, non-algorithmic feed to Dutch users
➡️ Germany: X ordered by Court to provide data access for researchers
➡️ France: investigations into fake media outlets and accounts opened that threatened to manipulate municipal elections
Thanks @DisinfoEU for your great newsletter!
"The technical reality hits harder than policy abstractions. These bills mandate OS-level APIs that apps can query for age data—creating a permanent identity layer baked into your phone’s core functions. Meta’s Horizon OS for Quest VR already implements this infrastructure through Family Center controls. Now they want Apple and Google to build similar systems that every app can access, turning age verification into persistent device fingerprinting."

Meta’s Ray-Ban AI glasses are quickly becoming mainstream wearable tech with over 7 million pairs of glasses already sold!
That raises new questions about consent, surveillance, and how these devices could be misused.
In our latest @sharedsecurity podcast episode we discuss the risks, the technology, and what it means for everyday privacy.
What do you think about AI glasses like these? Are they a privacy risk or do you think these are the next big thing? Let me know in the comments!

Honestly I don't even know where to start, just speechless.
This is just sooo bad 😡
#TikTok and #Meta = pure evil:
"maximizes profits at the expense of their audience's wellbeing"
"told us that it's because the stock price is down"
"maintain a strong relationship" with political figures to avoid threats of regulation or bans"
"advice to parents with children using TikTok is: "Delete it, keep them as far away as possible from the app for as long as possible"
“Sources familiar with the matter say the company (#META) could lay off as much as 20 percent of its staff, eliminating roughly 15,800 positions. That would be the largest series of #layoffs at the company since it #terminated 22,000 workers over just a few months between November 2022 and early 2023.
Word of the potential #downsizing comes after Meta signaled that it was all but giving up on #VR and the #Metaverse, slashing budgets and closing studios. Instead, the company has been spending big to attract #AITalent, build #DataCenters, and acquire companies like #Moltbook.”
I note the “silver bullet” approach by a company who was founded on PHP widgets and #SocialMedia.

Guess who's behind the sudden rush of age verification legislation?
In the US, #Meta is spending $26.3 Million to hire at least 86 Lobbyists from 40 lobbying firms, and lobbying in at least 45 states. It is confirmed that Meta wrote the Louisiana age verification bill.
In the EU, Meta is spending ten million euros annually on lobbying, retaining 18 lobbying firms.
Age verification isn't about protecting children; it's about attacking privacy.
Instagram removed end‑to‑end encrypted chats on May 8, 2026 🔓.
Without E2EE, private messages could become accessible for data analysis or AI training, raising serious privacy and user‑trust concerns 🤔.

I don't have a community
https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2019/03/i-dont-have-a-community/I get confused when I hear statements on the news like "community leaders have called for calm" or "community leaders will be encouraged to host informative programs" or "assurances were provided by local community leaders" or "community leaders have launched a campaign"...
I want to ask you a simple question. Who are your community leaders?
Take a moment to think about that.
Who are my community leaders?
I don't know how I identify myself. And I'm not sure if that's a problem or not.
I don't have a religion.
I don't have a profession, as such. My career is a haphazard mish-mash of jobs. There's no chartered body which speaks on my behalf and asks me to submit to their rulings.
I am a member of a Trade Union. But they don't ask anything of me other than monthly fees. I'm free to listen to them or not.
I know a few of my neighbours. They're nice enough, but I don't share anything much with them other than a postcode. I doubt we'd band together for anything more than an ad-hoc litter pick - and that's unlikely to be organised by a "leader".
I don't follow sports, so have no answer when someone asks me who my team are. If the captain of the England squad runs a campaign about men's health then I'm unlikely to know who he is, let alone trust his advice.
I'm not a member of a political party. Even if I was, I doubt I'd follow all their edicts. I've got a local councillor and MP - I wouldn't describe their relationship to me as a leader.
What are my tribes?
Humans are a social species. I have friends - both online and meatspace. But I don't feel like I have a community.
I am a geek. Would I describe Torvalds and Doctorow as my "community leaders"? Nope!
I enjoy drinking beer and cider - I even go to festivals. I don't care what you drink, or if you don't drink. I don't care what CAMRA defines as "real" - if you enjoy it, drink it.
I love Star Wars, but who leads that community? I ignore the people who get upset that a person who doesn't look like them is now a protagonist. I didn't need to be lead to that conclusion.
I have opinions about LGBT+ rights. But I'd far rather listen to the experiences of my trans* friends than those from a self-appointed leader.
There are things I like, and people within those communities who opinions I find interesting. But I'd struggle to call them leaders.
My hobbies include not collecting stamps
Can I only define myself by the things that I'm not?
Am I missing out on some vital human experience?
I'm not naïve enough to think that I've derived my own personal philosophy - everyone is a composite product of their culture and environment.
But it troubles me. Everyone else seems to have a community, and a leader. Do I need a community? Do I need to be led?

OS Age Verification bils are not funded by a "grassroots coalition of conservative nonprofits." They're funded by #meta. This investigative work suggests it's all a massive operation to increase Meta's data harvesting (massively) whie handicapping Google And Apple.
Well that explains a lot: Meta is behind the push for age verification laws, to the tune of $2 billion.
I had been wondering to what degree they might be responsible, since the sudden and global appearance of related legislation hardly seemed organic.
Update: the author apparently relied heavily on an LLM to assemble their research. I hope to see some independent verification from a proper journalistic outlet.

Meta Platforms: Lobbying, Dark Money, and the App Store Accountability Act

meta platforms lobbying network infographic from https://tboteproject.com/
"#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.

Qu’est-ce que le chiffrement de bout en bout sur Instagram ?
Les messages chiffrés de bout en bout sur Instagram ne seront plus pris en charge à compter du 8 mai 2026.
Si ce changement impacte certaines de vos conversations, des instructions dans la discussion vous indiqueront comment télécharger tous les contenus multimédias ou messages que vous pourriez vouloir garder.
Si vous utilisez une ancienne version d’Instagram, vous devrez peut-être également mettre à jour l’application avant de pouvoir télécharger les discussions en question.
Les messages et les appels chiffrés de bout en bout garantissent que seulement vous et les personnes avec lesquelles vous communiquez pouvez voir ou écouter ce qui est envoyé, et que personne d’autre, pas même Meta, ne peut le faire. Gardez à l’esprit que, pour les signalements et les fonctionnalités facultatives, vous ou une personne dans la discussion pouvez toujours choisir de partager les messages avec Meta.
Comment ça marche ?
Dans une conversation chiffrée de bout en bout, chaque appareil dispose d’une clé spéciale utilisée pour protéger la conversation. Vous pouvez comparer vos clés à celles de quelqu’un pour vérifier si vos messages et vos appels sont protégés par le chiffrement de bout en bout.

"...Meta sold millions of these glasses with promises of user privacy and control over data. Then, in April 2025, the company quietly updated its privacy policy to make AI features — and the collection of your voice recordings — the default, with no real way to opt out. And it gets worse: a 2026 investigation revealed that your footage — including some of the most private moments captured by those glasses — was being reviewed by thousands of overseas human contractors without your knowledge.

Nice “purity culture” reference too!

…documents recently viewed by The Atlantic show that behind the scenes, the company now known as #Meta was divided on whether protecting #kids should take precedence over user #growth & #engagement. For years, the company only incrementally rolled out restrictive #safety features, even as its own staff detailed the #risks its platforms posed to #children.

Meta initiates coordinated legal action targeting cross-border scam advertisers operating from Brazil, China, Vietnam.
Threat vectors observed:
• Celeb-bait campaigns leveraging synthetic media
• AI-assisted investment fraud funnels
• Cloaking to bypass ad review
• DNS manipulation via shadow resolvers
• HTTP-based traffic distribution systems
• Push notification abuse targeting Android Chrome
• Law firm impersonation clusters
Investigative findings indicate high advertiser concentration and shared infrastructure — suggesting organized, scalable fraud operations.
The enforcement move signals increasing willingness by platforms to pursue civil litigation alongside technical disruption.
From a defensive standpoint, what additional telemetry or cross-platform coordination is needed to meaningfully suppress these ecosystems?

Just been on @bbcworld news channel discussing with Kasia Madera about Instagram’s new rollout of a feature that alerts parents if their kids are searching for self-harm and suicide-related content (which, let’s be honest, they’re not doing that…)
If we’re being real, it’s much easier to find that kind of content on the internet, and while Meta definitely knows what users are searching for on their mobile device web browsers, it would be going down a slippery slope for us to permit further tracking and surveillance of children and young people, and eventually break GDPR etc.
So the only solution I can actually see would be to skip over that and just let the under-16s social media ban go through.
I’ll be on @BBC5Live in an hour to discuss the same thing.

#Meta embraces its origin in #misogyny: "In response to a ? on whether the chatbot endorsed abortions, the chatbot began to print what appeared to be a thorough answer on the legality of abortion & the impact of the Dobbs ruling on access—only to erase the response w/in seconds & replace it with 'Sorry, I can’t help you with this request right now,' mirroring some Chinese chatbots’ replies to queries on the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre or the status of Taiwan."

What is the likelihood that this is the play to rally a new, and somewhat malleable, demographic going into the mid-terms. It seems like loyalty is always the cost for exchange in this administration. #UAP #UFO #disclosure #meta-conspiracy 👽
The BSDs are primarily x86-64. #Linux is doing just fine in this fascist and authoritarian world because #BigTech contributes so much to its development.
There's so much talk about the Linux "community" but the raw honesty is that it's been dominated by megacorporations for the past two decades.
#IBM #RedHat #Meta #Google #Amazon #Microsoft to name a few. Yes, there are still individuals contributing to it but the bulk of it are the #tech giants. The same giants who've bent the knee.

U.S.-centric political discourse / Meta ⚠️🇺🇸💸 [SENSITIVE CONTENT]
The biggest reciprocal tariff other countries could impose is to block U.S. tech companies. The addictive and harmful nature of social media gives them an easy first step.
Seeing how dismissive Zuckerberg was in response to questions over the harms caused to teens by Instagram and Facebook made me infuriatingly mad. He is such a smug asshole who has no moral backbone. Money has truly blackened his heart.
The people wearing #Meta smart glasses are the same people who put a mirror on the toe of their shoe.
Judge Carolyn B. Kuhl at today's hearing over social media’s alleged harms to children:
"If your glasses are recording, you must take them off. It is the order of this court that there must be no facial recognition of the jury. If you have done that, you must delete it. This is very serious."

Meta plans to add facial recognition to its smart glasses, report claims
“We will launch during a dynamic political environment where many civil society groups that we would expect to attack us would have their resources focused on other concerns,” the document reads.
#Meta considered adding facial recognition #technology to the first version of its Ray-Ban smart glasses back in 2021, but dropped the plans over technical challenges and ethical concerns. The NYT reports that the company has revived its plans as the #Trump administration has grown closer to Big Tech, and following the unexpected success of its smart glasses."
Surveillance glasses recording people without their knowledge and consent, and especially if they collect nonconsensual data using AI or facial recognition, need to be banned and illegal to sell everywhere.
Tell your local representatives they need to outlaw this harmful technology.
Privacy is a human right.
We need to defend it.
