Users in Texas, Illinois can no longer use certain filters on Instagram and Facebook

Fun social media filters are now banned in Texas and Illinois. Meta turned off AR #filters in the two states after they accused the company of misusing #facial #recognition technology.

Some filters are still available on apps like #Facebook and #Instagram, but the filters that use facial recognition are now gone, thanks to new state laws.

#Texas accused #Meta of violating #privacy rights through its technology.

In #Illinois, a class-action #lawsuit that restricted the use of #biometric data was settled.

Texas has a similar case pending.

However, Meta doesn’t believe that its technology violates facial recognition laws in Illinois and Texas.

Meta said it plans to roll out an opt-in system that would explain how its technology works and continue offering filters that map out users’ faces.

Facebook Hides "Died Suddenly" Hashtags

This is a truly pathetic attempt of hiding the disturbing reality of what the vaccines are doing to people.

There is a genocide taking place, and there's no hiding it.

The terrorist organization known as #Facebook or #Meta claims to have dismantled a propaganda network that had ties to the terrorist organization that calls themselves USA Military

It was "an interconnected network of accounts" on social media platforms that "used deceptive tactics to promote pro-Western narratives"

#Kenya: #Sama, a Kenyan company that handles #Facebook #content #moderation to reach production quotas, exposes its employees to disturbing material with rhythms that lead to the development of trauma: the mandatory weekly "wellness break" must be begged for, you have 50 seconds to moderate individual contents (including videos of minutes) maintaining an accuracy of 84%, you are monitored during the work activity and there is no trace of the act of renouncing for possible trauma (present in EU countries). In addition, when asked to raise salaries - Facebook pays them about $2 an hour - the company responds by saying that it does not want to upset the local market.

When two years ago an internal union tried to claim its rights, the company dismantled it, promising promotions and firing its promoter. He continues to suffer from disorders related to his former job, without at the same time being able to afford a therapist.

"Facebook is enriching itself by exporting trauma along old colonial axes of power, away from the United States and Europe, to the developing world".

#uk #NHS Data Breach: Trusts Shared Patient Details With #Facebook Without Consent

NHS trusts are sharing intimate details about patients’ medical conditions, appointments and treatments with Facebook without consent and despite promising never to do so.

An Observer investigation has uncovered a covert tracking tool in the websites of 20 NHS trusts which has for years collected browsing information and shared it with the tech giant in a major breach of privacy.

The data includes granular details of pages viewed, buttons clicked and keywords searched. It is matched to the user’s IP address – an identifier linked to an individual or household – and in many cases details of their Facebook account.

The Former Israeli Spies Working in Top Jobs at Google, Facebook and Microsoft – MintPress - June 2023

AMintPress study has found that hundreds of former agents of the notorious Israeli spying organization, Unit 8200, have attained positions of influence in many of the world’s biggest tech companies, including Google, Facebook, Microsoft and Amazon.

The Israeli Defense Forces’ (IDF) Unit 8200 is infamous for surveilling the indigenous Palestinian population, amassing kompromat on individuals for the purposes of blackmail and extortion. Spying on the world’s rich and famous, Unit 8200 hit the headlines last year, after the Pegasus scandal broke. Former Unit 8200 officers designed and implemented software that spied on tens of thousands of politicians and likely aided in the killing of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

#USA Coalition Sue #Meta for Harming Youth

New York Attorney General Letitia James and a bipartisan coalition of 32 attorneys general today filed a federal lawsuit against Meta for harming young people’s mental health and contributing to the youth mental health crisis. The lawsuit alleges that the company knowingly designed and deployed harmful features on #Instagram, #Facebook, and its other social media platforms that purposefully addict children and teens. Filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, the lawsuit also charges that Meta routinely collects data on children under 13 without informing parents or obtaining parental consent, in violation of federal law.

“Kids and teenagers are suffering from record levels of poor mental health and social media companies like Meta are to blame,” said Attorney General James. “Meta has profited from children’s pain by intentionally designing its platforms with manipulative features that make children addicted to their platforms while lowering their self-esteem. Social media companies, including Meta, have contributed to a national youth mental health crisis and they must be held accountable. I am proud to join my fellow attorneys general to stop Meta’s harmful tactics and keep children safe online.”

The lawsuit alleges that Meta, which owns Facebook and Instagram, exploited young users for profit by designing its business models to maximize young users’ time and attention and deploying harmful and manipulative features that harm young users. Meta designed features on its platforms that it knew would harp on young users’ vulnerabilities. These features include:

Algorithms that are designed to recommend content to keep users on the platform longer and encourage compulsive use;
“Likes” and social comparison features known by Meta to harm young users;
Incessant alerts meant to induce young users to return to Meta’s platforms constantly, even while at school and throughout the night;
Visual filter features known to promote young users’ body dysmorphia; and
Content-presentation formats, such as “infinite scroll,” designed to discourage young users’ attempts to self-regulate and disengage with Meta’s products.

Reflecting on The Atlantic Council's Partnering With Facebook in 2018, In Light of New Documents / CTIFiles

@Dbrozenews would expand on the development of the era of Fact-checking, contextualizing how in 2018 #Facebook partnered with the #Atlantic council for fact checking. The Atlantic council which has close ties with the US government, intelligence community, and #NATO:

"In January 2018, #PropOrNot would be exposed for their connections to The Atlantic Council, a think tank with connections to the western Military-Industrial Complex. Coincidentally, in May 2018, Facebook announced a partnership with the Atlantic Council, which officially claims to provide a forum for international political, business, and intellectual leaders.

The social media giant said the partnership was aimed at preventing Facebook from “being abused during elections.”

The press release promoted Facebook’s efforts to fight fake news by using artificial intelligence, as well as working with outside experts and governments…

The Atlantic Council receives funding from the Brookings Institution, Carnegie Endowment, Cato Institute, Council on Foreign Relations, and the Rand Corporation, to name a few. In addition, various members of the Military-Industrial Complex are benefactors of the Atlantic Council, including Huntington Ingalls, the United States’ sole maker of aircraft carriers; Airbus, the plane manufacturer; Lockheed Martin, the shipbuilder and aviation company; and Raytheon, which makes missile systems.

All of the companies have contracts with the U.S. Department of Defense and offer financial support to the Atlantic Council. The Council also receives support from Chevron and the Thomson Reuters Foundation.

Finally, the Atlantic Council receives direct financial support from the U.S. Departments of the Air Force, Army, Navy and Energy and from the U.S. Mission to NATO.

By October 2018 – only five months after the Atlantic Council partnership with Facebook – the social media giant announced they were unpublishing, or purging, over 500 pages and 200 accounts who are accused of spreading political spam. Several of these pages and writers were also removed from Twitter on the same day."

🇵🇸 Meta: Systemic Censorship of Palestine Content | Human Rights Watch –

Meta’s content moderation policies and systems have increasingly silenced voices in support of Palestine on Instagram and Facebook in the wake of the hostilities between Israeli forces and Palestinian armed groups, Human Rights Watch said in a report released today.

The 51-page report, “Meta’s Broken Promises: Systemic Censorship of Palestine Content on Instagram and Facebook,” documents a pattern of undue removal and suppression of protected speech including peaceful expression in support of Palestine and public debate about Palestinian human rights.

Human Rights Watch found that the problem stems from flawed Meta policies and their inconsistent and erroneous implementation, overreliance on automated tools to moderate content, and undue government influence over content removals.
