Am I the only one dissapointed that Trashbook isn't making me prove my identity. Really wanted that to be the final straw (there are like 3 things I follow on that godforsaken platform) #auspol #socialmediabanediaban #facebook

Meta will let EU Facebook and Instagram users choose reduced data sharing for less personalized ads starting January 2026, replacing the “consent or pay” model. 🇪🇺
The update strengthens user privacy and restores meaningful control over personal data. 🔒
The EU will continue monitoring compliance. ⚖️

Content warning:Grooming and Facebook /Meta warning
Let all your friends and family know #Meta is for creeps so they shouldn’t use #Facebook anymore or let their kids on it. This is the vid I posted that made me realize people struggled with this stuff and so I wanted to validate others - and also now I want everyone to know the sorta of people META curates for their platforms.

Viele unserer Gemeindeglieder sind auf #Facebook , so dass wir den Kanal nicht abschalten. Um so erfreulicher ist der Aufenthalt auf kirche.social, ohne dass man immer einer Meinung sein muss.
Ab und zu muss das mal gesagt werden 😄. Danke Euch Sozialkirchlern und den anderen Fedinauten, welche sich hier tummeln.

Mastodon roept overheid op om via open platforms met burger te communiceren
Het gedecentraliseerde socialmediaplatform Mastodon heeft overheden wereldwijd opgeroepen om via open platforms met hun burgers te communiceren, in plaats van de systemen van techbedrijven te gebruiken die vereisen dat mensen een account aanmaken en persoonlijke data delen. Onlangs stelde demissionair minister Karremans van Economische Zaken dat de Rijksoverheid wel op Facebook en Instagram actief moet zijn omdat daar miljoenen Nederlanders zitten en er geen geschikte alternatieve platforms beschikbaar zijn.
Volgens Hannah Aubry van Mastodon communiceren overheidsinstanties vaak via het "censuurfilter" van bedrijven die niet de belangen van mensen of de samenleving dienen. "Ze laten hun boodschap bepalen door de grillen van wereldvreemde en overbetaalde mensen die vinden dat ze ongecontroleerde macht zouden moeten hebben. Dit kunnen we niet toestaan", aldus Aubry. Ze voegt toe dat overheidsinstanties via Mastodon wel de controle over hun eigen communicatie hebben.

I’m putting together a simple little document to encourage friends to stop using Facebook. I get asked occasionally about not being there and I’d like to share a list they can spend some time going over (rather than me just saying “because genocide”).
This list is decent, but I feel like I’m missing a couple items. I’m looking for tangible moral/ethical/political reasons to not use any Meta services. Things like Instagram targeting girls in vulnerable emotional states or the Cambridge Analytica scandal, as opposed to “It’s addictive”. With receipts from reputable sources.
I’d like your help adding to my list, so if you have an instance of them being evil and destroying the fabric of our society, send them my way. If I get everything written up nicely, maybe I’ll share it publicly. It would be nice to have a “here’s why you should leave Meta” document that isn’t a shitty listicle with the softest reasons to not like the company.
