Like we needed another good reason to block Threads
"Meta appoints generative AI VP to run Threads"

#Zuckerberg profetizza un futuro che fa venire i brividi… Un mondo dove chi non indossa occhiali con intelligenza artificiale sarà cognitivamente inferiore agli altri.
È #Meta (quella di #Threads) stessa che sta creando un mondo dove chi non ha i suoi dispositivi diventa automaticamente inferiore agli altri. Un assistente AI integrato nella vita quotidiana che vede quello che vediamo e sente quello che ascoltiamo.

What do you think is the reason #Threads chose to turn off #ActivityPub by default?
Oh no…now Meta is automatically sharing our private messages to its AI. As far as I can tell, you can only turn it off for each message thread, one at a time (and there seems to be no option to turn it off at all for group threads!). Yet another privacy disaster from Facebook.
I use Messenger btw for family and non-tech friends, so don’t (ahem) shoot the messenger.

Turn off message sharing permissions in a chat on Messenger
1. From your inbox, open a chat on Messenger.
2. Tap the name of the chat at the top.
3. Below Privacy & support, tap • Message permissions.
4. Tap the toggle next to Allow message sharing © to turn off message sharing. Tap it again to turn it on.
If you turn off message sharing:
• The option to auto-save photos will also be turned off.
• No one in the chat will be able to use Al features that involve sharing messages with Meta Al, such as summarizing with Meta Al or asking Meta Al to edit someone else's photo.
• Remember that people can still share messages or content in the chat with other people (example: by forwarding) or with Meta (by reporting).
Popup in Messenger:

• Ask Meta Al or Search
Do more in your chats with Meta Al
Now people in your chats can share messages with Meta Al to summarize conversations, edit images, suggest replies and more. Shared messages may be used to improve Al at Meta.

Yet another reason, btw, not to trust #Threads.
Meta an evil company? How can it be?! They’re partners, alongside Mastodon gGmbH, at the @swf (https://socialwebfoundation.org)

Meta's AI will also see any post shared on the Fedi if it was shared on Threads.

Every post you’ve ever made anywhere within Meta’s ecosystem. Every photo you’ve ever shared. It doesn’t matter if you thought it was “private” or shared only with yourself — the AI has access to everything.
As the old saying goes: "All your base are belong to us!"

Meta is protecting ICE.
If you post about an ongoing event involving ICE, your post may be delayed from appearing in the general feed.
If you encourage people to assist those under threat from ICE, your account may be suspended or terminated, and your information may be forwarded to law enforcement.
I really do work for an evil company.
Additionally, if you share any current information concerning Donald Trump and his associates, your post may be delayed from appearing in the general feed.
For example, if you saw Robert F. Kennedy Jr. eating a hamburger at McDonald’s and posted a selfie with him in the background, no one would see that you shared it for several hours.
Interestingly enough, if you shared the current whereabouts of someone who does not support Donald Trump — such as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez or Jasmine Crockett — there would be no delay in Meta’s general feed.
This paints an awful image, especially since the justification for delaying posts about Donald Trump and his associates is "general safety."

New key figures on short message services show that the two major providers are in a neck-and-neck race. Things are getting tight for X.

"That’s why Mastodon has failed to catch on, because you have to manually select servers and systems, while Threads has thrived because all you need to do is tap a link from IG to create an account."
Oh, really?
