EL PAÍS in English | Frances Haugen: ‘We are worse off today than when I leaked the Facebook documents’ by Manu González Pascual AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Frances Haugen, the former Facebook engineer who leaked 21,000 internal documents that revealed the platform’s harm to teens, says Meta may be “worse off today” than when the leak sparked a wave of lawsuits, class actions and state‑level suits after the 2021 Wall Street Journal exposé. While Meta initially bolstered safety teams, subsequent industry shifts—spurred by Elon Musk’s dismantling of moderation at X—have led to reduced accountability, and recent jury verdicts in New Mexico and Los Angeles found the company liable for child exploitation and addiction. Haugen now runs the NGO Beyond the Screen from Puerto Rico, urging stronger enforcement of the EU’s Digital Services Act and broader regulation of AI “digital friends,” which she warns can exacerbate self‑harm among minors. She predicts future legal battles over AI-driven harm, stresses the need for consensus across political lines to protect youth, and is hopeful that emerging platforms offering safer, anonymous spaces could give the next generation real choice over where to connect.

RE: https://troet.cafe/@arthurdent/116173344247015928 #gutenMorgen Ich bin immer noch verstört, wie #metaglasses in weiten Teilen der Öffentlichkeit ankommen. Wie kann man nur so ahnungslos sein? Als #Augenoptiker zeige ich Euch nochmal mit wem Ihr es da aus meinem Gewerk zu tun habt. Ich sach mal so: Alois Müller ist dagegen nichtmal Kreisklasse und im Gegensatz zu #meta wird da wirklich Geld verdient. Guckt mal, welche Marken die so im Portfolio haben und wem Ihr Knete in den Rachen geschmissen habt. #erstmalKaffee #spyglasses

Die dunkle Seite der Macht. Ein -Thread 🧵
Neulich wetterte ich gegen los. Aus Gründen. Leider war ich so betriebsblind, dass ich gar nicht daran dachte, dass die für die meisten Außenstehenden ja bloß jede Menge uniformierte Fassungen mit wechselnden Edel-Logos und vielleicht 'n paar Brillengläser bauen. Tjaaaa. Im Prinzip schon, aber holen wir mal etwas aus ☺️
Zuerst merkt Euch den nächsten Satz und sagt ihn Euch beim Lesen dieses Threads immer wieder (1/)

Uh. Ich habe bei YouTube mal kurz nach #Metaglasses geguckt. Absolut unglaublich. Beweihräucherung und Tipps wie man die LED abdunkelt. Sind die wirklich alle so unglaublich doof? Kann sich niemand vorstellen, was #meta mit den gesammelten Daten anstellen kann -und wird? Merkt keiner dass diese Dinger kein nerviges Spielzeug, sondern Waffen sind? Davon sind bereits Millionen im Umlauf. Sagt mir bitte, dass ich maßlos übertreibe, aber ich sehe da ein ernstes riesiges Problem. #spyglasses

RE: https://mastodon.online/@joho/116730558955694159 Did anyone propose age verification for TV-News? If not, why? Can you really broadcast pictures and videos of corpses and massacres at 7 PM without checking, whether an 8-year old is in front of the TV? Block Imgur but show pictures of dead people attacked by a terrorist in a car? Yeah, hypocrites. The entire age verification BS is a lobby-endeavour sponsored by Meta. #ageverification #privacy #meta #socialmediaban

You all are already using ad-blockers and tracking protection, and many don't use Meta's products, but still, just in case. "In a blog post on Tuesday, Meta explains that it already uses your off-platform activity, like the games you play or your purchases on other websites, to serve you ads. But now it’s expanding the scope of the content it personalizes across Facebook and Instagram." https://about.fb.com/news/2026/06/better-personalization-and-changes-to-controls-for-your-activity-from-other-businesses/ Via (paywalled) https://www.theverge.com/tech/946744/meta-website-activity-personalize-feeds (note the article has a broken link to Meta's announcement) #news #technology #TechNews #meta #facebook #instagram #privacy #security #surveillance #SurveillanceCapitalism

Goed. De RayBan Meta bril waar Pearl zo trots op is. Van de week onderstaande klacht ingediend: Ik ben echt bijzonder onaangenaam verrast door jullie samenwerking met Meta. Die AI brillen van ze zijn een grove inbreuk op de privacy. En wat je al had kunnen verwachten gebeurt nu. De brillen worden ook voorzien van face recognition software. Hallo massa surveillance! https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/06/move-fast-surveil-things Meta legt het regime van Trump geen strobeed in de weg. Plus verpatst hun bijeen gegraaide data ook nog eens aan de hoogste bieder. Ik wil hier absoluut niets mee te maken hebben. Ik kom al decennia lang bij Pearl, maar door deze samenwerking van jullie met Meta zit er voor mij niets anders op dan te stoppen met het gebruik maken van jullie diensten. Gister kreeg ik de reactie van Pearl. Ik heb het maar even een dag laten bezinken. Lees en huil. Wat een hemeltergende stupiditeit, wel eens van Stealth Mode gehoord, oen! Artikel uit mijn link duidelijk ook niet gelezen ... 🤦‍♀️ 👇 1/2 #Pearl #Meta #RayBan #BigTech #Privacy #Surveillance

Hey friends, I was chatting with Aleya the other day, and she mentioned that she doesn't use Mastodon as she'd heard that it has incorporated the React code from Meta. Are you aware of this? How do you square this? Is Mastodon not as free from the Meta infrastructure as we thought? This was new to me, so I'm curious... #Meta #React #code #codingInfrastructure #Mastodon

US Top News and Analysis | Elon Musk's net worth poised to sail past $1 trillion in SpaceX IPO AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Elon Musk is on the brink of becoming the world’s first trillion‑dollar individual as SpaceX’s updated IPO prospectus shows his personal stake in the reusable‑rocket company is worth about $866.5 billion, which added to his roughly $355 billion holding in Tesla (plus options that could add over $100 billion) pushes his net worth past the trillion‑dollar mark. The prospectus sets the IPO price at $135 per share, valuing SpaceX at roughly $1.77 trillion, and gives Musk more than 82 % voting control after the offering, though his shares will be locked for 366 days. While SpaceX’s 2025 revenue of $18.7 billion is modest compared with Tesla’s $95 billion and Meta’s $200 billion, the company’s compensation plans link Musk’s rewards to a $7.5 trillion market cap and the colonisation of Mars, fueling speculation that he may eventually merge SpaceX with Tesla to consolidate AI resources and streamline capital raises.

Women in Brussels 'filmed without their knowledge' by men wearing Meta smart glasses

“Experts in Europe warn that these devices are used to record strangers without their consent, possibly breaching EU law.” “A small LED light is designed to indicate when recording is taking place, but RTBF’s investigators found that tutorials explaining how to conceal the indicator are abundant and easily accessible online.” Sometimes I have a hard time deciding who I despise more, parasite Mark Zuckerberg or its witless hosts who keep using its products—yes, Zuck’s pronoun is it. Ban Ray-Ban, for frick’s sake.

US Top News and Analysis | Meta is trying to sell AI agents to businesses in latest effort to diversify away from ads AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Meta announced a new “Meta Business Agent,” an AI‑driven assistant that businesses can deploy across WhatsApp, Messenger and Instagram to answer customer queries, recommend products and schedule appointments. The tool will be offered through a subscription tier of the freshly launched Meta One package, extending the company’s push beyond its ad‑centric model—about 98 % of its revenue—to sell AI services to businesses of any size. CEO Mark Zuckerberg said the agent can provide real‑time competitive insights and, as Meta’s models improve, eventually help run whole operations. After a limited pilot earlier this year, the feature will be billed on a consumption basis for larger WhatsApp Business users and will integrate with third‑party platforms like Shopify and Zendesk, positioning Meta against rivals such as OpenAI, Amazon, Microsoft and Google in the fast‑growing AI‑agent market.

BBC News | Meta workers can opt out of being tracked at work - but only for half an hour at a time AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Meta is scaling back its plan to track employees’ computer activity after staff criticism of a tool that logged keystrokes and mouse clicks to train AI models. An internal memo revealed new controls will let workers pause data collection for up to 30 minutes at a time and request full exemptions, following a petition signed by more than 1,500 employees who called the initiative “dystopian.” The tool, part of Meta’s Model Capability Initiative, was originally justified as necessary for building AI agents that assist with everyday tasks, with assurances that the data would not be used for other purposes and that safeguards protected sensitive content. Employees, however, protested the privacy implications and reported increased battery drain and bandwidth usage, prompting Meta’s Superintelligence Labs VP Stephane Kasriel to announce optimizations and reaffirm confidence in the privacy protections while acknowledging concerns. This adjustment comes amid broader workforce reductions, including a planned 10 % cut of roughly 8,000 staff and 2,000 layoffs earlier this year.

News Headlines | EU court backs Meta fight against Marketplace label AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. The EU’s General Court rejected Meta’s challenge to the European Commission’s designation of its Messenger app as a “gatekeeper” under the Digital Markets Act, confirming that Messenger is a significant gateway for businesses to reach users and therefore subject to the law’s obligations. In contrast, the court annulled the gatekeeper label for Meta’s Marketplace platform, finding the Commission had not provided sufficient justification; the label had already been dropped after Marketplace fell below the user‑threshold. Meta welcomed the Marketplace decision and said it will review the ruling on Messenger, which could be appealed to the EU’s highest court.

English – The Conversation | Powerful AI is making facial recognition better at identifying you by Vijayan Asari, Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Dayton AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Facial‑recognition technology is becoming markedly more accurate thanks to powerful AI models trained on hundreds of millions of images, now achieving over 99 % correctness in controlled settings such as smartphones, airports and border checkpoints. Recent advances—like Google’s FaceNet, Facebook’s DeepFace, and NEC’s NeoFace—allow systems to recognize partially obscured faces, handle variations in lighting and expression, and even capture subtle facial dynamics across video frames, reducing both false‑positive and false‑negative errors. However, real‑world performance can still suffer from poor image quality, masks, makeup, and demographic imbalances in training data, which have historically led to higher misidentification rates for women, people of color, children and the elderly. Researchers are addressing these biases by diversifying datasets, applying image‑enhancement preprocessing, and developing three‑dimensional and volumetric directional‑pattern techniques that better mimic human facial perception, promising fewer wrongful arrests and a fairer, more reliable deployment of facial‑recognition systems.

BBC News | Instagram AI chatbot tricked by hackers to give access to others' accounts AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Instagram recently fixed a flaw in its AI‑powered support chatbot that hackers exploited to hijack user accounts by faking their location and requesting email changes, allowing them to reset passwords; the vulnerability was falsely linked to world‑leader hacks, though a verified Barack Obama account was indeed compromised and used to post pro‑Iran content before being recovered. Security researcher and former Meta employee Jane Manchun Wong confirmed her own account was altered without consent, highlighting concerns over AI‑driven security and the lack of human assistance for affected users. Meta announced the issue is resolved and impacted accounts are being secured, while criticism continues over the platform’s limited human support and its broader AI‑related data‑security challenges.

US Top News and Analysis | Alphabet plans to raise $80 billion from stock sales to fund AI buildout AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Alphabet announced it will raise $80 billion through stock offerings—including a $10 billion investment from Berkshire Hathaway—to fund the expansion of its AI compute infrastructure amid surging demand for its AI products and services. The capital raise, part of a broader capital‑expenditure plan now projected at up to $190 billion for the year, will be executed via a $30 billion underwritten offering, a $40 billion at‑the‑market program for Class A and C shares, and convertible‑preferred “depositary shares,” with Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase and Morgan Stanley serving as joint book‑runners. Alphabet’s recent bond sales of more than $30 billion and its stock’s strong performance, which has doubled in the past year, underscore its aggressive push to scale AI capabilities, a trend mirrored by other hyperscalers such as Microsoft, Meta and Amazon, whose combined AI capex this year exceeds $700 billion. Berkshire Hathaway’s involvement brings its stake in Alphabet to roughly $20 billion, reflecting its confidence in the search giant’s AI‑driven growth outlook.
