Not really huge news as many of us use ad-blockers and other privacy tools, but Facebook's data-harvesting "Like button" is finally going away.

I have a super weird issue in #Firefox, that I'm not quite sure how to resolve.
#Instagram has moved to unify their messaging infrastructure. I fucking hate #IG, but sometimes you just need to scroll some cute kittens, wolves, or rescued foxes.
However, thanks to some recent change, whatever zuck zucks in #Facebook/#IG clicking a post sent to me in the new messaging blows up my copy of Firefox.
If I get a shared post, I go to messaging, the message loads, then I click the post and everything hangs. I get a gray 'loading frame' for the post, and nothing else. CPU load goes to 100%.
If I wait a while, I get the text on the bottom of the frame loading, but that's it. The tab hangs, becomes difficult to close, and I get the "THIS TAB IS SLOWING THINGS DOWN" alert from FF.
If I profile the tab in FF, I can see that there's a script, deep in Instagram's dynamic naming system that is looping, infinitely (I'm sure because I'm blocking some resource it wants). But I don't know how to prevent this call from happening.
I'm just not #Dev - y enough to know how to use #Ublockorigin to selectively block whatever this problematic JS is.
But, really, I'm not sure what else to do about this.
I can't debug IG's code and dynamic naming makes it a bitch (intentionally), I don't know enough to selectively block it, All I can say is "Yep, that's a problem."

Landgericht Bonn: Wer sich auf #Facebook & Co. anmeldet, ist selbst schuld.
> Ein deutscher Nutzer amerikanischer #SocialMedia-Plattformen müssen sich von vornherein darüber im Klaren sein, dass in den #USA ein anderes Verständnis vom #Datenschutz herrscht als in Deutschland.
> Die USA hätten nunmehr eine "offen #rechtsextremistisch-populistische Regierung" mit "deutlich anti-#demokatisch, anti-#rechtsstaatlich, #autokratisch bis faschistischen Tendenzen"

Facebook phishing pages
Last spring, I resurrected my https://www.inoreader.com/ account to get RSS feed subscriptions for news sources. My email accounts are so over run that I’m not likely to track what’s happening local through them. So, I made a change.
Today, looking through, I noticed an article about a suspicious death and police soliciting for more information. Knowing many of the local Facebook groups are super gossipy, I searched on the victim’s name seeking for find more information.
Instead, I got what looks like a bunch of phishing in the search results. They looks like news articles, but they are fake news organizations. “6 News Mk” is just article after article with the same couple of photos of a “police line do not cross” yellow tape for different events to spam Facebook. The oldest one is from Friday and newest is from Saturday. I would bet they used AI to spew a bunch of posts at Facebook. Some kind of throttling shut down the postings, but no moderation has deleted them. Safely capturing the URL portraying as the full article, it looks like it has a payload.
There’s not really a Facebook option to report that a page is attempting to infect or compromise visitors. (I didn’t link to them because I don’t want my readers to accidentally compromise their computers.)
Also, I found a dozen different ones impersonating a news organizations doing the same for stories about this victim. There’s more of this stuff than results I’d deem legitimate.
I don’t know that staying away from the dark corners of Facebook will help. The goal of these phishing pages is to get them into the news feeds of victims. Facebook needs to do better.

> Meta projected 10% of its 2024 revenue would come from ads for scams and banned goods, documents seen by Reuters show [1]. 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.’
> Meta internally projected late last year that it would earn about 10% of its overall annual revenue – or $16 billion – from running advertising for scams and banned goods, internal company documents show.
> A cache of previously unreported documents reviewed by Reuters also shows that the social-media giant for at least three years failed to identify and stop an avalanche of ads that exposed Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp’s billions of users to fraudulent e-commerce and investment schemes, illegal online casinos, and the sale of banned medical products.
> On average, one December 2024 document notes, the company shows its platforms’ users an estimated 15 billion “higher risk” scam advertisements – those that show clear signs of being fraudulent – every day. Meta earns about $7 billion in annualized revenue from this category of scam ads each year, another late 2024 document states.
Due to network effects, I am largely constrained to using Meta's product WhatsApp. Unlike WhatsApp, I do not have the Facebook or Instagram app installed on my mobile devices.
