Man muss schon über einen ausgeprägten Untertanengeist verfügen, um sich bei so einem staatsnah daherkommenden Social Network mit Ausweispflicht anzumelden. Kein normaler Mensch macht das. Von daher verwundern diese Zahlen nicht. #wsocial #EU #EUDI #SocialMedia Daumenregel:  Finger weg, wenn Zensursula und ihre Bürokratengang der Regulierer etwas gut finden. https://aseachange.com/@elena/statuses/01KZQVMPKM23E4CERN39947WG6

“Island where it constantly rains is experiencing another drought” by Laura and Normal Island News on Substack @uk_politics “When Margaret Thatcher made England and Wales the only countries in the world with fully privatised water, the naysayers argued it was a terrible idea. Today, everyone agrees privatisation has been a roaring success. It has delivered an impressive rise in customer bills which has coincided with an equally impressive rise in shareholder profits. These improvements were delivered through efficiency savings, such as not building any reservoirs since 1992 and forgetting about silly ideas like sewage treatment. Thanks to neoliberalism, turds are now a common sight at our beaches and marine life is not” https://open.substack.com/pub/normalislandnews/p/island-where-it-constantly-rains #Press #SocialMedia #UK #Drought #WaterPrivatization #ShareholderValue #NeoLiberalism #Thatcher

The decline in people’s ability to judge #quality isn’t just getting #worse in #politics , it’s happening in consumer #markets too. If you had the impression that #goods are much worse than they used to be, you are factually right! In both, politics and goods manufacturing many are exploiting this cognitive #decline. Exploring the reasons would be interesting; I strongly suspect #socialmedia manipulation is a major driver. #CriticalThinking https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/aug/10/consumed-consumer-goods-quality

Despite PR's omnipresence in our daily news cycles and cultural conversations, PR remains one of the most widely misunderstood disciplines in modern business and public life. It is reduced to press releases, confused with advertising, dismissed as spin, or conflated with the work of publicists who arrange magazine covers. The reality is far more complex, far more strategic, and far more powerful than any of these shorthand descriptions suggest.

Protest gegen Smartphones... Auszug aus dem RASF Manifest "...Ein Mensch, der in den 1980ern ins Koma gefallen wäre und heute wieder aufwachen würde, könnte denken es sei eine Seuche ausgebrochen, die unsere Öffentlichkeit bis in den letzten Winkel infiziert hat, da überall und an jeder Ecke Menschen nur noch in ihren elektronischen Spiegel starren..." https://rasf.eu/?page_id=2&lang=de #Berlin #Smartphone #socialmedia #bigtech

“Israel’s ‘Right to Exist’: The International Law Case Against Zionist State Legitimacy” by Branko Marcetic in Savage Minds on Substack @palestine@fedibird.com @Palestine@masto.ai @palestine@lemmy.ml @iran @iraq@mastodon.social @palestinenews@gts.liberated.press “Ask yourself if you have ever heard a similar refrain asserting Italy’s right to exist, or Canada’s—or Germany’s, for that matter? And yet the claim is constantly made that the Israeli regime (and only the Israeli regime) somehow has such a right. The most obvious conclusion is that the regime and its proxies in the West are so deeply insecure about the legitimacy of the state [..] that they have deemed it necessary to impose an enforced (and fictional) orthodoxy, rooted in an idea of Israeli exceptionalism and state-sponsored impunity. But there is no such right in international law. None” https://open.substack.com/pub/savageminds/p/israels-right-to-exist #Press #SocialMedia #Journalism #Gaza #PalestinianGenocide #Zionism #SettlerColonialism #Resistance #EradicateZionism #DecolonizePalestine #GlobaliseTheIntifada #Israel

LEAVING META WITHOUT LEAVING YOUR LIFE 💎 After my posting about Meta over the past two days, one thing became very clear. A lot of people would LIKE to leave Facebook, Instagram, or both. But parts of their actual lives are all tangled up in them. So don’t make leaving a purity test. Start somewhere. Remove Facebook from your phone and use it only on your laptop, or better still, only on your desktop when you genuinely need it. STOP POSTING TO META. STOP FEEDING THE TIMELINE. Move conversations with real friends to your email, text, Signal, phone calls, Mastodon account, or wherever works for you, away from Meta. TELL PEOPLE WHERE ELSE THEY CAN EASILY FIND YOU. If you run a business, start putting your email address and/or website URL everywhere you promote your business so Facebook is not your only front door. Download anything you actually want to keep. Then, when you’re ready, deactivate or delete what you no longer need. Maybe you keep Messenger for Aunt Doris. Maybe you keep Instagram because your local café apparently believes websites were abolished in 2014. Fine. The point isn’t ideological cleanliness. THE POINT IS REDUCING YOUR DEPENDENCE. Every conversation you move elsewhere is one conversation Meta no longer owns the doorway to. YOU DON'T HAVE TO ESCAPE THE META CAGE IN ONE HEROIC LEAP. Just start opening the door. #Meta #Facebook #Instagram #SocialMedia #Fediverse #people #DEPENDENCE #Messenger

FACEBOOK IS TOXIC. META IS AWFUL. WHY CONTINUE FEEDING IT? 💎 Nearly everyone complains about Facebook and Meta. The algorithms are toxic. The advertising is invasive. The outrage is manufactured. CHILDREN ARE BEING HARMED. Privacy is disappearing. And then millions of people open Facebook or Instagram. Again. And again. I genuinely do not understand it. If you believe these companies are damaging children, manipulating attention, and making billions from human vulnerability, why are you still giving them your presence? Especially the parents. If Facebook and Instagram are unhealthy for your children, what exactly are you modeling by remaining there yourself? “We know this place is harmful, darling, but Mummy and Daddy have photographs to look at.” I left Meta years ago. I didn’t die. My friends did not evaporate. Civilization continued. There is email. There are phones. THERE IS THE OPEN WEB. There is even the terrifying possibility of seeing another human being, god forbid, in person. Meta survives because people who complain about it continue supplying exactly what it needs: Their attention. Their relationships. Their outrage. THEIR CHILDREN. You do not have to wait for Zuckerberg to become a better person. You can simply leave today. The door swings both ways. #Facebook #Meta #Instagram #SocialMedia #Algorithms #BigTech #DigitalWellbeing #OnlineSafety #ChildSafety #Privacy #AttentionEconomy #TechEthics #SocialMediaAddiction #Zuckerberg #DeleteFacebook
