My Threads account was just suspended. But I haven't logged in months.

Maybe now Instagram will stop trying to push me to share my posts on Threads?

In its judgment, the General Court of the European Union strengthened the conciliation and regulatory powers of the European Data Protection Board.

"The DPC will have to continue its investigations into Meta unless it chooses to refer the matter to the European Court of Justice. Given the timeline of the original investigation, which began in 2018, it may still take several years before a final determination is made regarding the GDPR compliance of Meta’s business model, particularly in relation to behavioural advertising."

Alexandra Jost, a 26-year-old #Russian-#American who, under the name “Sasha Meets #Russia,” is a #propagandist who's paid by #RT.

For this reason, she was kicked out of #Instagram and now migrates to #Elon's platform. In 2024, she was paid about 2000 USD per month for producing #propaganda.

Siellä se AI-"apuri" nyt on Instagramissa. Ja tänään vielä tutun kanssa keskusteltuani jonkin aikaa mietin, et josko sittenkin Instaan vois saada fiilistä. Tuttu siis näkee Instan hyvät puolet huonoja suurempina. Samoin ajattelevia on nyt tietty aika paljon muutenkin.

Mutta kyllä tuo AI:n näkeminen sai mut huokasemaan syvään. Tietty noita AI-apureita on melkein kaikissa sovelluksissa nykyään, mutta kun oon niin väsynyt ylipäätään kaikkeen Metan säätämiseen, niin tuntuu, että sietokyky sen muutosten kohdalla on tosi huono.
