Ach ja, falls die Debatte um den deutschen #SocialMediaBan, d.h. quasi wirkungsloses Handeln und Datenfreigabe von Verifikationsdaten an die Konzerne welche uns die Kraempfe einbrocken, noch lebt: Australien ist Vorbild. #regulateBigTech

Pew research: Grifters more optimistic about grift than the general public being unwillingly grifted. "For example, the #AI experts we surveyed are far more likely than Americans overall to believe AI will have a very or somewhat positive impact on the United States over the next 20 years (56% vs. 17%).

And while 47% of experts surveyed say they are more excited than concerned...that share drops to 11% among the public."

Meta's decision to ditch fact-checkers is already fuelling radicalization among older Facebook users in the UK. Zuckerberg's 'nothing in moderation' policy prioritizes profit over democracy, leaving society to deal with the fallout of unfiltered misinformation. #RegulateBigTech https://buff.ly/3WgTQhM
As resolutions go, Mark Zuckerberg’s ‘nothing in moderation’ is a stinker

Between Elon Musk, a free-for-all Facebook and Donald Trump, truth and decency are likely to have a hard time of it in 2025

The Guardian

"Say what you will about the legions of Elon Musk acolytes on X, but if an industry and its executives can bring together the likes of Elizabeth Warren and Lindsey Graham in shared condemnation, it’s definitely not winning many popularity contests."
