@nemesis@mast.lat Excuse the self-promotion, but you can have a look at some posts on that subject which are linked at the top of my feed under the heading "Meta and its collaborators" @thenexusofprivacy@infosec.exchange @adrianmorales@ieji.de @ntnsndr@social.coop

You can track the SocialCG's public discussions at https://www.w3.org/wiki/SocialCG - it has links to the email list and meeting notes. Here's an example of somebody from a Meta-funded non-profit (who's got a major role in the discussions going forward) attempting to shut down criticisms of Meta on the email list. https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-swicg/2025Jan/0026.html The SocialCG is currently in the process of coming up with a charter for a Working Group to create the next version of the ActivityPub spec. Things to look for: does Meta have a representative on the working group? (Since they're a dues-paying W3C member, they're entitled to one, so presumably the answer will be yes.). How many people from Meta-funded non-profits (or organizations that take funding from Meta or Meta-funded non-profits) will be in the group? What roles will they play, publicly and behind the scenes? How many people critical of Meta will be involved -- and what roles will they play? @nemesis@mast.lat @adrianmorales@ieji.de @ophiocephalic@kolektiva.social @ntnsndr@social.coop
