U.S. tech giants Meta, X and LinkedIn have lodged an appeal against an unprecedented VAT claim by Italy that could influence tax policy across the 27-nation European Union. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/07/22/tech/meta-x-linkedin-vat-italy/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #tech #meta #x #linkedin #italy #socialmedia #europe #eu

The great @molly0xfff has a mini-thread up on Bluesky revealing how her Substack dashboard shows steady growth... despite the fact she stopped using that platform a year and a half ago: https://bsky.app/profile/molly.wiki/post/3ltd6biesvk2r
Substack's "network effect" may be an illusion. More on this here: https://bsky.app/profile/molly.wiki/post/3ltd6fud6jc2r
I'm really happy I left SS for Ghost in January 2024 and I never looked back... and yes, the abbreviation is not that coincidental

While African wisdom teaches us, “ it takes a village to raise a child,” we must also name a painful truth:
Not all villages are safe.
Some villages are cages of neglect, invalidation, abuse, trauma, and harm, caused by the very communities meant to raise, love, and protect children.
The struggles we witness in children and youth today are not simply individual “acting out,” anti-social behaviors, or pathologies as we often see them.

Ik lees dat het #LinkedIn-account van Berber van der Woude is verwijderd.
Het is niet de eerste keer dat mensen die invloedrijke kritiek op Israël hebben van dat platform worden geknikkerd.
Maar ja 🤷🏻 wat verwacht je van LinkedIn? In handen van Microsoft en in dienst van de economische groei. Natuurlijk ga je dan voor de bijl als je werkelijk een bedreiging begint te zijn.
Mocht je iemand spreken die hier verontwaardigd over is: wijs ze naar hier, en naar de #Fediverse. Anders leren we nooit.
Pensez-vous que nous pourrions atteindre les 500 Parrains et Marraines #Linux avant la fin du mois de Juin ?
Je propose à ceux qui ont un compte #Bluesky et #LinkedIn de partager le projet : https://aidelinux.gogocarto.fr/ ou de relayer.
Il y a des éléments de contexte ici : https://aidelinux.gogocarto.fr/about
En route pour les 500
The way #Microsoft (and other #gatekeepers) present #DMA compliance is soooo annoying!
The "regulatory dialogue" with the Commission, according to #Linkedin's competition director, was a way for the company to "mature and progress in our DMA journey."
It's not a "journey", it's a law that creates legal obligations and prohibitions for the company. Get over it and get it down already. 😠
After a lengthy statement by the #Linkedin rep, read out from paper with a machine-like voice, first questions from the audience:
Consumer org @beuc wants to know whether Linkedin's A/B testing for compliance solutions have been neutral and if the test results will be published. Super important for compliance #transparency!
Kick-off by @EUCommission's Director for #DSA/#DMA enforcement Rita Wezenbeek.
Only some 20 people in the room but she says over 200 following online. Hopefully many journalists. 💪

I deleted my #Twitter / #X account forever ago.
I deleted my #Reddit account shortly after.
A few days ago I messaged all the people I know on #WhatsApp to tell them I'd be deleting my account. A few minutes ago I deleted it and uninstalled the app.
A few minutes ago I also requested a download of my #Facebook and #Instagram content (both have been locked down and unused for years). A few seconds ago I deleted both accounts.
#LinkedIn comes out of the archive when I'm looking for work, and goes back in as soon as I get hired again. I'm strongly considering deleting that account as well, because fuck LinkedIn and #FuckCapitalism.

So what am I doing in place of all these toxic, bullshit platforms? I'm glad you asked...
#Mastodon, #Signal, #Matrix, #Proton (mail, drive), #Lovense (hey, it's a social platform 😋).
