Arrr, we are Metarrr...

Good day and Hello...

For 2024 we decided to be a little more honest and therefore rename some of our products. Celebrating our 20th anniversary, it should be clear, who we are and how we act.

#Facelook - because we love looking at your faces, of course with the help of facial recognition systems. So we want to know, who you are. And you. And you. And where. And when. Everything.

#Instadam - because you will be instantly damned.

#Threats - because we will threaten you. And the whole world. We already work on the invasion of the #Fediverse using #ActivityPub. You were warned.

#WhatsCrap - because we crippled #XMPP to incompatible crap to keep you a safe slave. We may use different names for several markets, e.g. #WhatsDepp in Germany.

Enjoy 2024.

I think we should sue AI 🎶 And I think we should get Swiss Francs from Proton and donate them back.. July downtime exceeded ambitious SLA Downtime = 1h4mins / 730h30mins (in a month) = 0.14% > 0.05% == I think we should get Swiss Francs. I’ll be getting in touch with them (not via Zendesk) to find out how much And as I #warned, I think they should stay focussed on their privacy goals, not copy Big Tech overambition
