Reuters: Meta executive warned Facebook Messenger encryption plan was ‘so irresponsible’, shows court filing. “Meta executives proceeded with a plan to encrypt the messaging services connected to its Facebook and Instagram apps despite internal warnings that it would hinder the social media giant’s ability to flag child-exploitation cases to law enforcement, according to internal company […]

@pietercolpaert it's very true.

#interoperability can be done with a lot of non standard solutions, small tricks and be closed. Like the way #meta do for #WhatsApp and #facebookmessenger :/

I survive without #WhatsApp, without #Telegram, without #Signal, without #Teams, without #FacebookMessenger even if social pressure is huge (for WhatsApp in particular)

My main discussions channels are #email, #xmpp and the #Fediverse
I've tried #deltachat but removed it because I have no contact using it.

@t3n „Die besten Alternativen“ zu #WhatsApp, und dann ernsthaft #FacebookMessenger und #WeChat aufführen. Wow.

Political ads still appear on Meta platforms, despite the ban.

Meta stopped its political advertising business altogether in the EU, in response to new regulations — but experts point out that political ads are still finding their way into users feeds.

Supposedly-banned political ads are still sneaking their way onto Facebook, Instagram, and Messenger.

Signal is down for some (me), eh? Well I also use @threemaapp

Anyone else?

Even if you are #Signal person, #Threema is pretty nice as a backup for close contacts, should something like this happen again. Far better than falling back to #WhatsApp, #FacebookMessenger or #Telegram

[AKTUALIZACJA] Richard MacManus: Meta „wykorzystuje zawartość prywatnych konwersacji z Messengera do trenowania swoich modeli AI”

Facebook Messenger will soon include an option for corporations to send you promotional material.

Basically, spam. We’re going to allow companies you’ve interacted with to send it to you via Messenger.

Meta would like you to think of it as no different from the notifications apps send to your phone — but it’s spam.

Declaring Metapendence – WhatsApp

While I have never used WhatsApp, Meta’s messaging app (outside of Facebook Messenger, which is a different kettle of fish), there are many around the world who rely on it to communicate with friends, family, and even business partners and customers. WhatsApp boasts of its end-to-end encryption for user privacy, but the company has shared user data with Facebook and 3rd party providers, including user phone numbers. Now, WhatsApp is starting to include advertising as a way to monetize the […]

Moskiewski sąd odrzuca wyjaśnienia ze strony twórców komunikatora Delta Chat. „Nie możemy przekazać danych, których nie mamy” – twierdzą twórcy

Delta Chat, który jest szyfrowanym komunikatorem opartym o e-maila, przegrał proces w moskiewskim sądzie, ponieważ nie przekazał danych żądanych przez Roskomnadzor — których z kolei twórcy Delta Chatu nie posiadali.

Facebook’s fading utility

Management at Meta should be thankful to Elon Musk for his ongoing destruction of usefulness at what used to be Twitter–because without that singular feat of self-harm, Facebook might now be unchallenged as the major social network to have taken the most dents from a hammer in its own hands.

This week has had me thinking of Facebook’s decline more than usual, thanks to the start of the suit brought by the Federal Trade Commission in 2020 that seeks to hit the “undo” button on the company’s previously-government-blessed purchases of Instagram and WhatsApp.

Meta founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg tried to stop that trial over months of unsuccessful sucking up to the Trump administration, outlined at length Tuesday by the Wall Street Journal, that left him looking like more of a self-serving loser than he already did after his post-election pivot to being a MAGA sympathizer.

But this problem of Facebook decay has been going on for years. In retrospect, the two Zuckerberg appearances I saw at MWC in February of 2016 should have been my own warning.

One, pictured here, had him gushing at a Samsung event about how virtual reality would change how we experience the world; the other, an onstage Q&A, had him holding forth about Facebook’s plans to bring broadband to the developing world, among other things.

Nine years later, consumer adoption of VR still hasn’t happened, while Zuckerberg (who in that Q&A said “Facebook isn’t a company that hits a roadblock and then gives up”) has acted as if those connectivity projects were Facebook journalism initiatives by scrapping them in 2022.

Facebook itself, meanwhile, has become a vastly less pleasant place than it was in 2016. The default feed is so overrun with ads and suggested pages and groups–with frequent outbreaks of AI-generated slop–that it has become difficult to keep up with friends, the reason for Facebook’s entire existence.

And the new, friends-only tab that Zuckerberg just introduced as a return to “OG Facebook” turns out to be available for now only on the platform’s Android and iOS apps, not its iPad app or the desktop Web site that was the real original Facebook. The latter is also the one Facebook interface I can count to remind me of which friends have birthdays today.

I can, however, rely on Facebook’s Android app to show me notifications featuring my brother’s profile picture even when he doesn’t figure in any of them (he hasn’t posted there since maybe December for reasons similar to my own) and to treat me to weird experiments in #engagement hacking like “Blast to the past” suggestions to revisit years-ago posts.

I haven’t quit using Facebook or Instagram entirely–so many friends and family remain on those platforms, plus I have an occupational obligation to stay current in their workings. But I have cut back on my own posting there almost as much as my brother has.

And I have outright quit trying to do anything with the public Facebook page that once represented one of my major forms of reader outreach. I turned off messaging there after getting fed up with all of the scams sent my way and then posted an I’m-done-here signoff March 19 in which I invited people to look me up on Bluesky and Patreon.

There is, however, one Facebook app that I continue to use fairly regularly: Messenger, which doesn’t subject me to algorithmically-pushed crap from third parties and does provide effective privacy via end-to-end encryption. Messenger also looks like the part of Facebook least likely to help the company make money off me, which is not nothing these days.

You know what? I’m growing somewhat weary of people talking about getting rid of #Amazon and #Meta and the other big boys like it’s the easiest thing in the world and if you’re not doing it you’re part of the problem. I would love to just break up with them, now that Bezos and Zuck have shown us beyond any doubt the types of humans they are. But here’s the thing. I can’t. In particular, #Amazon is a part of my life’s fabric to the point where I can’t just decouple from it. For those of us who don’t have the freedom to just jump in the car whenever they need something, Amazon gives the ability to purchase things independently and receive them in a timely manner. And for those of us with limited disposable income Amazon Prime is a beneficial tool. Never underestimate the value of not having to pay for shipping. And Zuck might be evil but #Facebook and #FacebookMessenger are my prime source of communication with certain family and friends. So judge if you feel you must, but just know when you do that I’m just doing what I feel I need to do. I don’t feel good about it at all, but sad to say, it is what it is.
