FYI: You can hide the For You Feed on Loops in Settings -> Feeds.

That will completely hide the For You tab, and it will be as if it never existed.

We made this a priority to allow those who don't want an algo, to still have a great home and community.

We still have Following and Local feeds ✨

Please spread the message ❤️

OpenAI just announced ads in ChatGPT.

They promise not to sell your data or let ads influence responses.

We all deserve stronger privacy protections online, and end-to-end encryption is one of the strongest tools to do so. Companies should make it the default more often, rather than optional (or unavailable). https://encryptitalready.org/

Encrypt It Already

A proposed class-action settlement with Google over their “real-time bidding” system is a step in the right direction to give people more control over their data. But truly curbing the harms of surveillance-based advertising will require stronger legislative protections. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/01/google-settlement-may-bring-new-privacy-controls-real-time-bidding

Google Settlement May Bring New Privacy Controls for Real-Time Bidding

EFF has long warned about the dangers of the “real-time bidding” (RTB) system powering nearly every ad you see online. A proposed class-action settlement with Google over their RTB system is a step in the right direction towards giving people more control over their data. Truly curbing the harms of RTB, however, will require stronger legislative protections.

Please, don't use #upscrolled, because @loops is so much better for #privacy, and it's in the #fediverse too!

Loops, een fediversealternatief voor TikTok, is beschikbaar in de Apple App Store. In de app is het mogelijk om korte video's te kijken en te ontdekken in een gefedereerd netwerk. Loops heeft volgens de ontwikkelaars geen advertenties en geen tracking. https://tweakers.net/nieuws/244214/gefedereerd-tiktok-alternatief-loops-is-verkrijgbaar-in-app-store.html?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #Tweakers
