Wow, Vienna scientists received the complete WhatsApp member directory, containing 3.5 billion user entries. Yes, it’s just the directory, no messages, but the whole directory was available online - totally unprotected.
Any more reasons for not using WhatsApp required

This has been another colossal fuck up by Meta, again. And another leak that goes unpunished, again.
Downloading Delta chat or Signal is not enough. Think beyond the headline.
Regardless of where you are, you need to hold these people accountable.

The company Northern Playground is has a campaign right now where they are trying to ditch advertising on Meta products.
If you want to raise some awareness to them and to their followers about Mastodon, get in the comments of their post and mention oslo.town and Mastodon.

#AlgorithmicTakeover: "…the friends-and-family era of the “ #socialgraph” is over, having been replaced with what Meta grimly calls “ #unconnectedcontent”—posts from accounts that you may or may not follow, chosen for you by a recommendation #algorithm.
…a natural byproduct of people choosing to share fewer posts of their own, forcing companies like #Meta to find alternatives. “Longtime users’ friend lists have … become an often-outdated archive of people they once knew."

🆕 blog! “2025 - A Year In Review”
Much like the emperors of old, the year ends on my birthday. As of today, the world is reborn anew as I ascend into the next year of my life. So, what was being 45 like?

A few weeks ago, Liz and I both quit our jobs. By the end of 2024, our careers will be on hiatus.

Carino il giudice che fa il pappagallo di Zuckerberg, devono averlo addestrato bene.
«Meta vince il processo sul monopolio “convincendo” [virgolette mie] il giudice che i social network sono morti»
The Federal Trade Commission has failed to prove Meta's acquisitions of Instagram and WhatsApp allowed it to illegally monopolize the social networking market, a U.S. district court ruled. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/11/19/tech/meta-ftc-antitrust-instagram-whatsapp/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #tech #meta #ftc #antitrust #instagram #whatsapp #facebook #apps #socialmedia #markzuckerberg #donaldtrump

Hold #Meta accountable for fraudulent ads that account for 10% of their revenue. Facebook exposes users to 11 #scam ads a day, according to Reuters.

Où on apprend que les négociateurs européens au G7 utilisent #WhatsApp comme machine à café virtuelle pour discuter en "off". Donc #Meta, donc les #USA savent qui discute avec qui et quand en "off". L'illetrisme numérique de nos politiques est affligeant. Comme quoi convaincre son entourage de passer sur des solutions comme #signal est très important...
