Analysis: Zuckerberg platforms & profits from Israel's illegal settlements

"Facebook has platformed more than 100 paid advertisements promoting illegal settlements & far-right settler activity in the occupied West Bank.

"Companies are selling homes in illegal settlements & individuals are fundraising to buy weapons for Israeli soldiers in Gaza."

Al Jazeera · Meta profits as ads promote illegal Israeli settlements in West BankBy Caolan Magee

#Facebook #opsec #fail - rave "banter" group puts up video of a good looking young lass in England at a petrol station who ended up with empty baggie that held her #partydrugs stuck to her back as she fills up the car. Registration mark of car in full view.

To be fair some lads *did* point out sharing the video could be problematic, but *no-one* picked up on the fact they've essentially grassed her up for potential #DUI (any cop or bootlicker now has her vehicle number plate)

I finished reading Sarah Wynn-Williams's exposé on #Meta, and honestly, it's so much worse than TikTok.

But of course, no one will clamp down on them - even though they're selling user data to China.

She claims Mark Zuckerberg lied to Congress about Meta not knowing whether the CCP would have access to user data.

"Careless People" also suggests that #Facebook is using subsidiaries to operate in #China. While a lot of it has already been reported, it's an interesting read.

American politics, in the second Trump administration especially, is as much a tech story as it is a political one. Elon Musk’s dismantling of the federal government via DOGE is a product of the same Silicon Valley ideology that Zuckerberg coined with his infamous 'move fast and break things' motto.

Similarly, Musk’s self-described obsession with rooting out waste, fraud, and abuse to make the government efficient shares a platitudinal vagueness with Zuckerberg’s long-standing mission to connect the world.

Both ideas sound good on paper but are ultimately poorly defined (and executed even worse), leaving the same question unanswered: connection for what? Efficiency at what cost?

Jeg lover, at jeg ikke vil støtte nogle af disse virksomheder, som alle har støttet kejser Trump og hans medsammensvorne:

Elon Musk (Tesla) $ 290 mio.
Open AI $ 1 mio.
Amazon $ 1 mio.
Metà (Facebook/Instagram $ 1 mio.
Uber $ 1 mio.
PayPal $ 250.000
Coca Cola $ 250.000
Airbnb $ 100.000

Just in case anyone had missed it, the title of the new book about #Facebook / #Meta is “Careless People” because of this line in “The Great Gatsby”.

“They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.”
