I found this old screenshot from 2015 of some of my FB friends who liked Donald J. Trump. I checked today.

1–3: Nope
4: Account deleted (in prison for far-right extremism)
5: Hides their likes
6: Accounted deleted (or they blocked me)

(This type of search is no longer supported by FB.)

#FecesBook has ALWAYS BEEN shitty. Because Meta is (by Zuckerberg's own admission) #UnethicalByDesign. #MetaZucks

The YouTube algorithm really has me nailed as an anti-algorithm kind of person. Thanks algorithm!

Somewhere at Meta, there's a team working on how to monetize spiders

Meta illegally collected data from Flo period and pregnancy app, jury finds

Lawyers hail jury’s “clear message” to Big Tech; Meta will fight verdict.

Stop, Meta! My EU-envy is already a problem.

It must be nice to live somewhere with disinformation rules. Europe does the bare-minimum decent thing, and American tech bros cry like it’s oppression.

Bluesky has a censorship problem

Servers may be decentralized, but there's only one arm for a government to twist. Sound familiar?

Bluesky has a censorship problem. In the last few weeks some Turkish and Gaza users have been blocked due to government pressure or to avoid future pressures. Right now there is an appeal signed by hundreds to #Bluesky moderation: https://mastodon.online/@mastodonmigration/114564513570490377 Let's be clear. It is not really Bluesky's fault. It's a centralized platform controlled by a US corporation and has no choice but to accede to political pressures. Truly decentralized, public social media is the only defensible solution.
