why need to use AI, zuckerborg is an android already.

Get fucked, suck.

It is definitely an addiction. Every so often, I go into my profile and just delete stuff. I also cull the “friends” periodically. And no matter how much I have to use it for work I do not have any of their garage apps installed.

Same here. I used FB before news feed, when it was still restricted to colleges.

I was afraid to quit, because was worried of losing some information, and contact with friends.

The crazy things is that once the account was gone I realized that it was addiction. I don't feel like I lost anything. Also the friends that I cared about an able to communicate with them using alternatives, and the others I never really talked to, so that also was a false fear.

Where? I do not have a contact to fill it.

Update: I see that there is https://yourdigitalrights.org/d/instagram.com and they use email address support@insta****.com for their GDPR request.

If you live in California or the EU, you can file a CCPA or GDPR request, respectively, to force them to delete your data

Maybe they have some recent Kessler syndrome modelling that makes it more urgent. Given the build up in low Earth orbit it's a reasonable backup idea.Also the global south is pretty underserved

Hasn't this type of thing been going on for decades? Why is it news that meta is doing it?

A global undersea cable network has been in place for 30 years. It's woefully overcapacity 24/7.

It takes huge capital and time to lay cable, and the point of doing it is that you're booking bandwidth from ISPs, often years in advance. There's competition, but it's also a seller's market because of huuuuuuuge bandwidth demands.

They've been planning this for like 10 years at this point. Google laid thousands of miles of cable that are operational since the last time I heard about this.

Toll road. I know what's going to happen with this. People are going to have the option to get a subscription for faster internet access or some shit.

I stand corrected

are you sure? i know it's been like that for TG, but it's the first time I hear that WhatsApp groups aren't E2E

nObOdY cAn ReAd YoUr PrIvAtE coNvErSaTiOnS, nOt EvEn WhAtSaPp

I don't have any of those, so I'm good.

Should have used Signal

fr, WhatsApp is only good for keeping in contact with, I dare say, normie friends. Other then that, keep it the hell away from me.

Worse, the story has been confirmed to be fake: https://www.theverge.com/news/713385/zohran-mamdani-instagram-suspended-debunk

Meta has always been right. Did everyone forget Cambridge Analytica?

"We can't have another FDR!" - Republicans, for decades and still

Only so many shiny things can be covered per day.

Damn, you're right. This isn't covered by anyone. Only other mention of it i could find was on a blogpost.

It’s nice to see they mentioned Mastodon!

The suspension, which lasted approximately 3 hours before his account was reinstated, was explained by Instagram senior directors in an internal leaked memo that his content was deemed “too socialist,” and goes against current national US interest.

Wow, that is blatant. McCarthyism all over again.
