Before the Brazilian election where progressive Lula beat right-wing Bolsonaro, Meta is accused of disrupting Lula's Insta and WhatsApp accounts

Meta blamed "technical difficulties"

That would be more believable if similar incidents had not happened recently in the US

Tech billionaires are evil

Meta Unseats Musk as Tech Villain for Lula in Brazil’s Election

A new villain is emerging in the closing stretch of Brazil’s bitterly contested presidential election: Meta Platforms Inc.

Meta recently updated their terms of service to require any businesses that use their products to turn over their intellectual property in exchange for access to their platforms.

I’m urging Meta to reverse this decision and compensate creators and publishers for their work.

I'm officially Meta-free. It feels weird, but good. I deleted my Facebook, Instagram, and Threads. They asked me what my reasoning for leaving was. I told them to "look in the mirror."

This is from Meta comms.

But this is unacceptable. #NoKings signaled today was a day of action.

There was every reason to understand why there would be high volume.

More action and voting is coming going into the midterms.

We need proof this will not happen again.

The first subpoena from the new Democratic Congress should be to Mark Zuckerberg, for taking down the No Kings Instagram account in the middle of one of the largest days of civic activism in American history.

No Kings. No Courtiers.

Meta is doing digital blackface with its fake AI profiles. Seems to me like it's an attempt to deflect criticism from AI critics and smear it as racist.

why do we need AI-generated profiles. why

A German teen told Meta's child safety researchers his under-10 little brother had been sexually propositioned multiple times on its VR platform.

Meta deleted the evidence.

New internal whistleblower docs indicate that was part of a broader cover-up: www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio...

Meta suppressed research on child safety, employees say

The company’s lawyers intervened to shape research that might have shed light on risks in virtual reality, four current and former staffers have told Congress. Meta denies the allegations.

No sane person would allow Mark Zuckerberg into their home—so why allow ANY Meta product—Facebook, Instagram, Threads, or WhatsApp—onto your phone or computer?

Here's the related story. "Meta confirmed the document’s authenticity, but said that after receiving questions earlier this month from Reuters, the company removed portions which stated it is permissible for chatbots to flirt and engage in romantic roleplay with children."
