In addition to the countless scam ads that #Meta generates billions from, there are also millions of people posting AI videos like this one, getting engagement based on things that don’t even exist. People react to these videos as though they were real. This one even has the #Sora watermark.

I can’t urge you strongly enough. If it wasn’t Zuckerberg/Facebook’s role in election interference via Cambridge Analytica in 2016. Then maybe this will convince you !, #DeleteFacebook #DeleteThreads #DeleteMeta #DeleteInsta etc #Meta=MAGA www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

#Meta verwendet #Schulmädchen Fotos von #Instagram um Männer nach #Threads zu locken.

Alle ohne das Einverständnis der Eltern!

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."

Meta’s AI rules have let bots hold ‘sensual’ chats with children

An internal Meta policy document reveals the social-media giant’s rules for chatbots, which have permitted provocative behavior on topics including sex and race.
