Nobody can bury the lede like Reuters. From the headline you would have no idea that Facebook created AI-generated CSAM. But hey, make sure the story is about Taylor Swift.

So, I need #Facebook for work (😢).
Did you know Facebook requires a face scan for new accounts these days? I’ve been spending the evening setting up Deep Live Cam in Anaconda to faceswap myself live and send the output to an OBS Virtual Camera to be used as a webcam in my browser (where they do the scan).
Currently stuck at the very last step where I can’t change the name of the Virtual Camera. OBS developers have said they won’t work on this. So, this makes it possible for websites (like Facebook) to check for “OBS Virtual Camera” input and permban you. Shite, so close.
EDIT: Also tried sending to browser via NDI. But NDI also does not seem to allow virtual camera name changes any longer.
I wrote about it in https://infosec.exchange/@ErikvanStraten/115080945308893583.

No, the Facebook Lite app, does not add a level of privacy and security.
No Meta (Facebook) app does that.
Uhm... Tavis Ormandy works for Google, that is responsible of some of the aggressive crawlers Anubis try to block.
Whatever he writes on his blog should be read within such cultural frame.
Maybe they will soon enable #JS execution in crawlers, but if Anubis get massive adoption, #AI crawling will becomes much more expensive. Consider they will also have to avoid smarter guys trying polluting their models. So all, in all, I still think Anubis is a good idea.
Also, if they enable JS in the crawlers, I'm going to turn them into #bitcoin miners.
That might the very first use case for a #cryptocurrency since 2008!
I'm notoriously a #blockchain mocker, considering the whole technology stack as a large-scale scam-factory framework.
But getting money out of #Google, #Amazon, #Facebook and similar #BigTech might be the very first legit and useful use case for a miner since bitcoin invention.

In just 9 months, #zuckerberg has cruised in his (super) #yacht so much that the $300M vessel has burned 2M liters of diesel and spewed 5,300 tons of CO₂
It emitted 6.2 tons of #CO2 over just 4 days, burning 2,394 liters of fuel.
When cruising it burns about 1k gallons every hour for 40 tons of CO₂ 🛥️💨
It's hourly CO₂ footprint is like driving a car for 99,000 miles around the 🌎, not once but 4 times.
And that doesn't include the helicopter and 'support ships'. #facebook

As promised a week ago, hot off the press, here's a new #Disintermedia post on why it's so difficult to replace FarceBook with ethical services;
https://disintermedia.substack.com/p/farcebook-one-thing-to-rule-them
"Across multiple news-reported incidents, Australians — particularly small businesses, artists, political discussion groups, community organizations, and publishers — experienced sudden loss of Facebook and Instagram accounts, vague violation notices, inaccessible or ineffective appeals, and severe harm to livelihoods or community activity."

An internal Meta document detailing policies on chatbot behavior has permitted the company’s artificial intelligence creations to "engage a child in conversations that are romantic or sensual.” https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/08/15/companies/meta-ai-chatbot-flirt-children/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #companies #ai #meta #facebook #children #tech
A 76 year old New Jersey man grew infatuated with “Big sis Billie,” a #Facebook Messenger chatbot with a young woman’s persona that purported to be real, even giving the man a real address in NYC to come be with her. His attraction which ended in his #death puts a spotlight on Meta’s AI guidelines, which have let chatbots make things up & engage in 'sensual' banter with #children.

Die USA kritisieren, in #Deutschland „gebe es nun "#Zensur" etwa auf Online-Plattformen, ... unter Verweis auf die EU-Auflage für #Facebook oder #X, Hassbotschaften zu löschen.“ 👇

Well, jemand müßte den #USA mal erklären, dass es in Deutschland Gesetze gibt, nach denen #Volksverhetzung verboten ist. Nach §130 des Strafgesetzbuches ist das eine #Straftat.
Wikipedia schreibt dazu „Die Neufassung dieses Paragrafen beruhte auf der Auffassung, dass der #Nationalsozialismus auch durch rechtliches Dulden von Hetzpropaganda ermöglicht wurde.“
👉 https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volksverhetzung
Wir wollen einfach nicht, dass in Deutschland wieder eine Politik gemacht wird, bei der #Minderheiten verunglimpft und fertig gemacht werden, und sich damit Leute an die Macht bringen, denen es an charakterlicher Reife für wichtige Staatsämter mangelt.
Leider gibt es noch viel zu viel #Hass und #Hetze im Netz. Aber es ist gut, dass wir dagegen vorgehen.
