#Meta quickly changed their brand new commercial terms after the #news of their plans to "train" on data broke and were covered by major publications!

Seems they haven't heard of the web archive yet: http://web.archive.org/web/20261016114851/https://www.facebook.com/legal/commercial_terms_preview

The word "train" disappeared within a day of the #AI training speculations.

Part 2 of the paragraph:

...that are associated with your products or services, or that are made available through your or users' use of Meta Company Products and services, and to periodically pull updates from such domains, web pages, or URLs in order to provide, develop, improve, research, and maintain advertising and business products...

"your or users' use" is especially concerning, as it is extremely loosely phrased and would cover a wide range of people.

Part 1 of the paragraph:

"You authorize us (or any entity acting on our behalf) to use automated software (such as web scrapers, bots, robots, spiders, crawlers, and user agents) and create test credentials to access, index, cache, analyze, collect, retrieve, or crawl the domains, web pages, or URLs (and any content available through them)..."

So this data can even be collected by 3rd parties working with Meta?

Businesses & affiliated entities should REALLY reconsider using ANY #Meta product.

By using WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook... they now automatically opt-in to their websites getting scraped, collected & used to train (likely) #MetaAI.

It includes the creation of fake accounts (so called test credentials¹) to gain further access, to restricted data.

Only options to opt-out:
1) #DeMeta

The #Fediverse is at risk, we need to: #STOPEUKIDSACT NOW!

https://www.heise.de/en/background/Age-verification-in-the-Fediverse-How-the-KIDS-Act-challenges-Mastodon-11474306.html

This law affects everyone, especially people in the #EU and is an attempt to implement ID verification on: Video-sharing platforms, #AI chatbots, AI companions, online games, software app stores and operating systems

Meta glasses were caught spying on their users once more: https://www.androidauthority.com/ray-ban-meta-glasses-listening-3722586/

Meta was quick to "fix" and therefore admit it:
"This issue has been resolved..."

Ad blockers are more important than ever, now that ads can pose a serious security risk:

On a side note: Reading stuff like that really makes you realize it’s just a spin-off, not an original Taylor Sheridan production ;)

🇺🇸 Today I learned of the "War on Violence". Paradoxical as it sounds, I felt it perfectly captured much of #US domestic & foreign policy.

From the "War on Drugs" to current conflicts, the US continues to invoke the prevention of #violence as a pretext for unleashing far more of it on the world 🪖🚀💔

Meta's Muse AI strongly reminds me of the Mechanical Turk.

A magical device, pretending to function autonomously, when in all actuality a person inside is pulling the levers.

🌌 The #US Space Force is like a self-fulfilling prophecy:

First they announce this:

"...Pentagon has definitively deployed active space-based weapons platforms."

Then they declare peaceful, untouched and shared #Space:
"Space is both a battlefield..."

Their counterparts around the world do the same, & these warmongers have brought us one step closer to turning the last frontier into a military #conflict zone.

SPACE IS FOR ALL MANKIND - No leadership can change that!

Looks like everyone who raised awareness about "Mark Zuckerberg Pervert Glasses" ultimately made a real difference <3

🇪🇺 The new digital ID & biometric verification law, called EU KIDS ACT must be stopped!

It is a serious #HumanRights nightmare, especially for #Privacy & would negatively change the internet forever.

We need to stand together & fight this dystopian, authoritarian mass-surveillance movement!

It's all the same push as in Australia, the US et. - wherever you are, resist it ✊

#STOPEUKIDSACT NOW!

¹not sure why we still accept people using nobiliary particles such as "von der" 🤢

²or rebranded "age verification"

🇪🇺 Seeing Ursula Leyen¹ praised all day for her State of the European Union speech is upsetting to me.

🇨🇦 While closer ties to #Canada sound great, it also included her brandnew digital ID verification² law, the so called "EU Kids Act"!

➕ It goes one step further than #SocialMedia covering video-sharing platforms, #AI chatbots, AI companions, online games, software app stores and operating systems³

I saw a squirrel being hit by a car the other day and quickly dying after,
which was really really horrible.

That was an accident, but some kids in the #UK are hurting / killing #pets and #wildlife as part of some horrific #TikTok trend...

Guess this is what happens when lazy people let corporations co-parent their kids and #AnimalRights are weak.

Animal abuse should be punished much more severely IMO.

🧑‍⚖️ Love how they are going after #Meta in "Alvarez v. Meta" for their use of #Instagram user biometrics to train #AI (EMU) plus their Smart Glasses and MetaAI facial recognition software (NAMETAG) 🥸

This could turn into a major win for everyone's #Privacy❣️
