Pluralistic: Social media without socializing (19 Jan 2026) – Pluralistic: Daily links from Cory Doctorow

Mielenkiintoisin tänä vuonna lukemani kirja Facebookin täydellisestä vastuuttomuudesta (globaalisti ja omassa organisaatiossa) on Sarah Wynn-Williamsin "Careless People - A Cautionary Tale of Power, Greed, And Lost Idealism. A Memoir".

Kirjoittaja meni firmaan idealistina hoitamaan sen kansainvälisiä suhteita, koitti aikansa saada asioita eettiselle tolalle ja sai lopulta potkut, kun ei ollut hiljaa pomoltaan saamastaan seksuaalisesta häirinnästä.

It was one of the first apps I downloaded on my first smartphone. It was fun seeing pictures and getting to know people around the world.

So fuck meta and facebook for destroying that. After 15 years I deleted my Instagram profile.

Jeg tror ikke jeg har opfordret til at slette Meta-produkter i år, så jeg hellere se at komme i gang. Slet så de Meta-produkter. Antallet og indholdet af negative effekter overstiger langt eventuelle gevinster af produktet. #deleteMeta

Meta Is Going to Start Using Your Interactions to Train Its AI

Meta AI is soon going to feed your text and voice chats into its all-knowning algorithm to further tailor the ads and content you see.

Meta accused of banning LGBTQ+ accounts in one of its "biggest waves of censorship" ever - LGBTQ Nation

The alleged actions appear to be an escalation of Meta's Trump-era policies.

🗑️ Finally deleted #instagram yesterday after going through the unnecessarily (and surely intentionally) slow "export your data" process several times because I kept missing the 4-day window that the download link was made available.

That's 2 down, 1 to go before the end of 2025.
