It takes engineering hours to remove a feature. Even if few people use it, why go out of your way to remove it? Meta’s hurting its users. And for what? https://www.theverge.com/tech/894752/instagram-end-to-end-encryption

It’s 2026, and people still post articles on platforms like Medium or X where people off the platform can’t read them. 😑

There's a Finnish citizens’ initiative for digital sovereignty. The initiative proposes a law to outlaw the use of non-EU service providers and software for critical government functions. More details at https://www.kansalaisaloite.fi/fi/aloite/16691 (in finnish) https://www.kansalaisaloite.fi/sv/initiativ/16691 (in swedish)

Meanwhile, Meta blocked the Threads account of the initiative: https://mementomori.social/@digitaalinenitsenaisyys/116022479606183593

It's 2026. How about we normalize NOT using social media as our website? I'm looking at you city governments, restaurants, businesses, orgs, etc.

I am begging you, if you are a restaurant, you need to have a web presence other than Facebook and Instagram. I don't have those, and therefore can't see anything about your business!

"Meta is earning a fortune on a deluge of fraudulent ads, documents show"

"Meta projected 10% of its 2024 revenue would come from ads for scams and banned goods, documents seen by Reuters show. And the social media giant internally estimates that its platforms show users 15 billion scam ads a day. Among its responses to suspected rogue marketers: charging them a premium for ads – and issuing reports on ’Scammiest Scammers.’
