I found this site:
www.newbohemia.art

They claim to be a "human only" art site. They verify you create human only art.

Cool. I joined to see what they're about.

They allow ANY user to share your work on all of meta's platforms, xitter, pinterest, tiktok, and tumblr. You, the user, cannot stop anyone from posting your work on the worst sites for AI training.

I asked them about it, and they said: "We're looking into it. We may allow an individual to turn that off in the future."

I pointed out the hypocrisy and stupidity of this by default.

They banned me.

@eff @privacyguides
You should do a piece on these assholes.

@Curator You may wish to warn your users about this.

« En plus de gagner des milliards en laissant proliférer des posts publicitaires frauduleux, Meta a mis en place une méthode pour rendre ses manquements invisibles aux autorités de plusieurs pays. »

Talking about blocking DNS, I just updated my #BlockMeta list with two more entries : *.amp-endpoint2.com and *.amp-endpoint3.com 🚫

It's still compatible with #personalDNSFilter and #uBlockOrigin

There is currently a rumor afoot that Zuckerberg is planning to expropriate the AT protocol for Threads. If true, the pattern is undeniable, suggesting that any remotely open social media protocol which finds its footing will be subjected to a Zuckerberg incursion. Accordingly, future protocol developments should insure Zuckerberg-resistant measures as early as possible in their life cycle. 🐸 Protocols should incorporate Zuckerberg-repellent technology into their foundational codebase 🐸 Protocol projects should exclude the participation of anyone who could later become a Zuckerberg collaborator (e.g. het cis white guys who want to "keep politics out of it") 🐸 Protocols should be oriented, both in developmental organization and in the emergent community topologies they engender, to horizontally distribute and diffuse power; power concentrations become throttle-points for corruption, primed for Zuckerberg exploitation (e.g. SWICG, SWF) 🐸 Protocols should be designed to encourage the kinds of communities in which Zuckerberg-hate is a prominent characteristic, and which will be quick to activate and organize a social opposition to Zuckerberg incursion (e.g. FediPact) We can take our lessons from the current failures; ActivityPub was deficient in all of these requirements except the last, and if the rumors are true, there's no hope at all for AT. Put simply, the protocol that powers the decentralized social network of tomorrow will be the one with the most successful Zuckerberg-resistant adaptions #DefederateMeta #FediPact #Meta #Zuckerberg #Threads #Facebook #Instagram #SocialWebFoundation #SWICG #Bluesky
