I haven't used #facebook in about a decade as I've never cared for mindlessly scrolling through nonsense posted by people I haven't seen since I graduated, or in years otherwise.
The real life people I care about I contact directly.
I installed it for FB Marketplace seeking a cheap #camcorder.
It wants access to every aspect of my phone, and I swear I had to deny access to my contacts about 3 times, then get asked "are you sure?".
Yes, I'll never use FB again.
Cal Newport: Why you should quit social media | TED Talk
https://www.ted.com/talks/cal_newport_why_you_should_quit_social_media
> Does quitting social media make you an unemployable Luddite? Computer scientist Dr. Cal Newport doesn't think so. In this eye-opening talk, he debunks three objections commonly offered up as rationale for keeping that all-important #Facebook account.

Interessante Diskussion von Expert:innen zum "Soll man das #Internet für #Kinder verbieten?" im #FalterRadio Podcast: https://www.falter.at/podcasts/radio/20250730/soll-man-das-internet-fuer-kinder-verbieten
Es geht um die Studienlage zu den negativen Auswirkungen der Services der großen Konzerne mit Fokus auf #sozialeNetzwerke.
Ich beneide keineswegs Eltern, die vor der Aufgabe stehen, dem entgegenzuwirken, dass wir ganze Generationen von Kindern weiterhin in vielen Aspekten verlieren. Der Gesundheitsforscher meint, dass die negativen Auswirkungen noch viel schlimmer sind, als wir uns das jetzt vorstellen können.
Die #Algorithmen werden als eine der Hauptquellen benannt aber es wird so getan, als gäbe es keine alternativen sozialen Netzwerke, die ohne #Werbung, Algorithmen und weitere dark patterns daherkommen: #Fediverse. 
Erziehung muss auch bei den Journalist:innen beginnen.
Small things that annoy me, a lighthearted rant/
STOP IT WITH THE NOTIFICATIONS.
I do not want my day to be interrupted by a device chiming because you have a sale, your partners have a sale, your computers are feeling lonely because I haven't visited them today and would like some attention (looking at you, #Facebook), you have some new feature I will never use because it's annoying.
Every time I get a new phone, I spend a couple days disabling bunches of notifications. LEAVE ME ALONE!
If you have to use Meta platforms for any reason, here is a sanity-saving, time-saving, fuck-
-zuck, tip:
INVERT.
This prevents the algorithm from being able to predict your actions and stagger content that is genuinely interesting to you in order to keep you scrolling indefinitely like a donkey on a motherfucking treadmill 
You will know in advance how many ads are placed in the stream, and how often to expect them.
The information that the algorithm can gather from you is severely impacted, and it most certainly cannot act on it during this session.
It also limits your investment of time, energy, and focus, to just the preloaded content, short-circuiting doom scroll, and protecting your wellbeing.
Eventually, if enough people do this, Meta will adapt, but for now, this technique can be used to subvert the inhumane use of human psychology deployed by Meta. Tell anyone it can help.

The #reclaimtech activity this month is #ChuckZuck ! Do you (or someone you know) still have an account on the Zuckerverse? #Instagram, #WhatsApp, #Threads and #Facebook -- this month, all together, we shut it down!!
Hitting delete is the easy part-- disentangling your life to #reclaimcontrol is much harder. So here is my experienced guide to getting off social media (hint: you need more than technical tips)

@dan_ballard I hope people will consider https://simplex.chat over #discord and #facebook its #FOSS #decentralized and has #QuantumResistantEncryption , IP obfuscation with a custom onion routing protocol, and no user ids meaning its like "a burner phone for every contact" I think that communications warfare is something we need to take more seriously in the path to revolution #simplex

First he said #facebook was working w privacy and ethics-by-design. Then, he claimed his platform democratised the world by allowing everybody to shout out, and that #meta was ethical because it gives away it products for free - also to the poor. Now, he claims Meta’s #ai will give us individual empowerment (article)
Nothing of above is correct, it is cynical PR - they steal the words from those who truely work for humans, democracy and the planet.

Lustig und traurig zugleich: in der Klagebegründung zum #facebook Verfahren vor dem VG Köln wird die Auffassung vertreten, praktisch alle Menschen hätten schon mal Kontakt mit Facebook gehabt, darum sei die BReg auch nicht für das Setzen der Cookies verantwortlich (verkürzte Darstellung).

Apple loses more AI experts to Meta
Meta's "Superintelligence" project gets even more support from Cupertino: At least a fourth Apple Intelligence employee has been lured.

Meta further increases sales and profits, builds on personal superintelligence
Thanks to advertising, Facebook groups' revenues grow almost unstoppably. Zuckerberg promises personal superintelligence for everyone. Share prices skyrocket.
@Sarahp not my time, I have deleted both accounts last year and never looked back. It was the best decision. #delete #meta #facebook #instagram fuck #zuckerberg
I'd like to say that maybe you should get off of #Facebook just to avoid being fresh meat for the world's most monstrous AI, and maybe you should! But honestly I think it lands more like Zuck's bet on the Metaverse. Remember the Metaverse and VR? Some real applications; not a killer app. VR been like that since 1986, if not 1968...
But my real burning question? Zuck, are you going to rename Meta to Hal now?

Meta steigert Umsatz und Gewinne weiter, baut auf persönliche Superintelligenz
Dank Werbung wachsen die Einnahmen des Facebook-Konzerns schier unaufhörlich. Zuckerberg verspricht persönliche Superintelligenz für alle. Die Aktie springt.
