@jd If the class action litigators did accept #Facebook 's settlement offer of $725m, they should know that this sum is not even 10% of f*book's net profit in ONE quarter (3 months!) - viz., it was $9 billion for 2Q2021. #privacy #NotForSale #justice #transparency #BreakUpFacebook #BreakUpBigTech #ClassAction
Boud#BreakUpFacebook #facebook @nizarus @fabre_gregori Facebook crée des contenus synthétiques et pour al-Qaïda et pour les néonazis : https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-48217827 "Facebook has been accused of 'auto-generating' extremist content, including a celebratory jihadist video and a business page for al-Qaeda." ... "Similar content was automatically produced for white supremacist and Nazi groups active on Facebook."
#BreakUpFacebook #facebook @nizarus @fabre_gregori Chris Hughes, co-fondateur de FB, rappelle que les procès étatsuniens antitrust contre IBM dans les années '80 et Microsoft (années '90) ont formellement échoués, mais en fait les a rendu un peu moins totalitaires ; c'est pourquoi il préconise un procès antitrust contre FB - https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/09/opinion/sunday/chris-hughes-facebook-zuckerberg.html Mais Hughes ne sait pas que le Fédivers va continuer à croître... :) https://the-federation.info/ 500k utilisateur-rice-s actif-ve-s au mois dernier.

Jaron Lanier interview on how social media ruins your life
Someone brought this up before and I think it's a valid point. While the head of the Internet of Hate aka Facebook/Instagram is under the microscope, we should give the Zuck&Co credit. I'm not giving them a break, but they're stepping up. I would also like to see Monsanto, Exxon, Dupont, etc in Congressional hearings explaining what they will do to fix the mess they've created for all of us. Let's hold them all accountable.

Just picked this up after watching an interview with the author on DemocracyNow!! Did you know that you can’t badmouth Facebook on Facebook?
Anyway, looking forward to a good read.
Facebook - and Instagram since it’s own by the same company have to be broken up. It has become “too big to fail” for some and there’s no way to stop the machine. In the meantime...
One of the most important interviews you’ll watch this year and if I’m right, for years to come.

A Threat to Global Democracy: How Facebook & Surveillance Capitalism Empower Authoritarianism
“Black Elevation.” “Mindful Being.” “Resisters.” “Aztlan Warriors.” Those are the names of some of the accounts removed from Facebook and Instagram Tuesday after Facebook uncovered a plot to covertly influence the midterm elections. The tech giant said 32 fake accounts and Facebook pages were involved in “coordinated inauthentic behavior.” This announcement comes just days after the company suffered the biggest loss in stock market history: about $119 billion in a single day. This is just the latest in a string of controversies surrounding Facebook’s unprecedented influence on democracy in the United States and around the world, from its pivotal role in an explosion of hate speech inciting violence against Rohingya Muslims in Burma to its use by leaders such as Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte in suppressing dissent. Facebook has 2.2 billion users worldwide, and that number is growing. We speak with Siva Vaidhyanathan, author of “Antisocial Media: How Facebook Disconnects Us and Undermines Democracy.” He is a professor of media studies and director of the Center for Media and Citizenship at the University of Virginia.
