Meta Files Patent for Facial Recognition, Automatic Recording of People
privacyguides.orgPlease push the Meta Trial as it’s our only hope.
For years I’ve made the case that ephemeral content is worse than high-simulating content like reels. You could quit, but the FOMO is something “happening” online while you’re not there keeps you perpetually hooked, like those of Snapchat Stories, Instagram Stories and now, Instants.
One of the trial’s demands from the Plaintiff includes elimination of Engineered FOMO (Fear of Missing Out)
So please support the trial and push voice against the Big Tech Execs who have no problem letting the world which we’ve built over the course of millennia through genuine human connection, struggle and emotion, perish itself, filling their pockets more and more in the process.

Meta social media addiction trial to begin as Instagram and Facebook could be forced to change
bbc.co.ukMeta tiene que rendir cuentas por cómo maneja los baneos y Meta Verified
Yo también me he visto afectado por las prácticas de Meta relacionadas con la suspensión de cuentas, y sé que no soy la única persona.
Hay usuarios a quienes Instagram les deshabilita sus cuentas por acusaciones extremadamente graves, como fraude o explotación sexual infantil, sin proporcionar una explicación clara ni ofrecer un proceso de apelación que realmente permita solucionar el problema.
Al mismo tiempo, Meta ofrece Meta Verified como un servicio de pago que incluye acceso a soporte. Personas que ya están enfrentando problemas con sus cuentas pueden terminar pagando la suscripción con la expectativa de recibir ayuda y, aun así, no obtener una solución efectiva.
Esto no se trata simplemente de perder una cuenta de Instagram. Para muchas personas, Instagram es una herramienta de trabajo: dependemos de nuestras cuentas para comunicarnos con clientes, promocionar nuestro trabajo, generar ingresos y mantener proyectos que nos han tomado años construir. Yo mismo dependía de Instagram para trabajar, por lo que verme afectado por una suspensión de este tipo tuvo consecuencias reales.
Y hay algo que debemos aceptar: probablemente Meta no va a dejar de utilizar sistemas automatizados o IA para moderar sus plataformas. Por eso considero que una de las pocas cosas que podemos hacer como usuarios es documentar nuestras experiencias, exigir transparencia y hacer que estos problemas sean visibles.
Por eso decidí presentar un reporte ante la Federal Trade Commission (FTC) sobre mi experiencia.
Si tú también te has visto afectado por lo que consideras prácticas injustas o engañosas de Meta relacionadas con los baneos de Instagram, los procesos de apelación o Meta Verified, documenta lo que ocurrió y presenta tu propio reporte.
FTC — ReportFraud:
No estoy diciendo que nadie invente información ni exagere su caso. Reporten exactamente lo que les ocurrió, guarden sus pruebas y permitan que las autoridades determinen si existe un patrón.
Y si realmente queremos que Meta preste atención, compartamos estas experiencias fuera de Reddit: TikTok, YouTube, X, Facebook y otros foros o comunidades donde puedan llegar a más usuarios afectados. No se trata de acosar a empleados ni de inventar acusaciones; se trata de hacer visibles experiencias reales y exigir mejores sistemas de moderación, apelación y soporte.
Si suficientes usuarios afectados documentamos nuestras experiencias y las hacemos visibles, será mucho más difícil que estos problemas simplemente desaparezcan dentro de un ticket de soporte.
Meta Systematically Suppresses Palestinian Voices, Research Finds

reddit.comAbout disgusting Facebook devs
We won't support facebook any more. It's a disgusting anti-user site. All it does is watching open-source projects doing everything in public and counter them to deliver the malicious ads. Yep, the devs that receive 7-figure dollar salary is just doing this.
Users should give the most harsh feedbacks to them. Being submitted to them and keep going to the site and support it is the worst thing you can do.
Is everyone else starting to hate FB? Facebook should just end already.
Is everyone else starting to hate FB? I just find it annoying that 90% of the content is ads, sponsored posts, and random crap I never asked to see, plus updates from people I don’t even care about. It’s become almost impossible to find posts from my actual friends without scrolling forever. Facebook should just end already.
uBlock Origin is no longer supporting Facebook ad-blocking, and Edge is incompatible with uBlock Origin entirely. Here are three great browser alternatives and a privacy-focused one from Europe
Two separate pieces of news for ad-blocking just landed in the same week, and together they say a lot about where browser control is heading.
First, the developer of uBlock Origin announced that the team is no longer going to chase Facebook's constant filter-evasion tricks, describing Facebook as a "disgusting anti-user site". Facebook has repeatedly changed how it identifies and serves ads in order to defeat open-source blockers, monitoring projects like uBlock Origin and adjusting its code to bypass their filters. After years of this cat-and-mouse game, the small uBlock team decided that it was no longer worth the constant maintenance just for one platform.
Secondly, and more importantly: Microsoft Edge has started to disable Manifest V2 extensions by default in the Canary, Dev and Beta channels this month. The full rollout to consumers will be completed by the end of 2026, with enterprise devices following in early 2027. uBlock Origin has been installed over 13 million times on Edge, but there is no Manifest V3 version because MV3 removes the Web Request API that the full version depends on to work effectively. Chrome killed Manifest V2 entirely in mid-2025 and will have removed the last MV2 extensions from its store by 31 August this year. Edge held out for longer, but is now following the same route.
If you use uBlock Origin's full filtering power on Edge (or any other Chromium-based browser), the best option is to switch to a different browser, since all Chromium-based browsers are heading towards the same restriction eventually.
Firefox remains the safest option since Mozilla is committed to providing full Manifest V2 support, regardless of Chrome and Edge's actions. It also runs on Gecko, one of the few major rendering engines that is not controlled by Google.
If you want a more modern interface alongside the same privacy protections, Zen Browser is a good European option: it's free and open source, and is built directly on Firefox's Gecko engine rather than Chromium. It also adds features like Workspaces and Split View without compromising the underlying privacy protections.
Another Firefox-based alternative worth considering is Waterfox: it's open-source with no telemetry by default, and includes Oblivious DNS support to make it harder for your ISP to track which sites you visit.
All three keep uBlock Origin working exactly as it always has.
good social media(like instagram) alternative?
Hi!
I've been wanting to get rid of as much meta apps as I can for a while now. I wish I could just stop using Instagram, but the only thing that keeps me using it is that there are some music bands that I like who are really active there, and I also get a lot of information about some topics that I fight for (for example Palestine).
Does anyone know a good social media which could grant me access to both kinds of information but without being meta? Thank you really much in advance^^
New Mexico court orders Meta to pay additional $567M in child safety case
techcrunch.comI sued Meta over my disabled accounts — here is the defense Meta used
If you're considering suing Meta over a hacked or
disabled Facebook or Instagram account, I want to
tell you what happened when I did.
Meta disabled my accounts. It later notified me
that I had not violated its Community Standards,
restored my accounts, and then disabled them again.
I eventually sued Meta in small claims court.
Meta's attorney relied on the Terms of Service and
argued, in substance, that Meta had the contractual
right to disable my account.
The judge ruled in Meta's favor.
If I were facing that argument again, I would be
prepared to raise another issue: Meta's enormous
market power.
Meta can essentially say:
"You agreed to our Terms."
But how meaningful is that agreement when the
terms are take-it-or-leave-it and walking away can
mean losing access to Facebook, Instagram, your
contacts, followers, business connections, photos,
and years of accumulated activity?
Can a company use its market power to impose terms
that effectively give it the right to remove a
person's access even when that person did not
violate its rules?
I don't know whether that argument would have
changed the outcome of my case, and I'm not a
lawyer.
But if you're considering suing Meta, I think the
market-power/monopoly issue is worth discussing
before Meta walks into court and says:
"You agreed to the Terms."
I wish I had been prepared for that argument when
I sued Meta.

404media.coMeta Instagram big game.. LEAKING OUR Privacy Data⚠️
Recently we saw there is huge rise in Instagram account been falsely disabled. People are giving their Face IDs and even documents repeatedly. Still your accounts get banned. Then we try to recover it but no proper manual customer service from Meta side all fckking AI bots. At last due to frustation user gives up and makes New id. Meta Bans that id too in few days or in few hours again ask us for our Face ID and documents. This is all META's new game plan to get out all private documents. They repeatedly block out account to get perfect data from us. Accounts with subscription plans are banned rarely because they already have our ID proofs. I don't but This is quite Alarming as Meta is planning a big game against our Privacy. Our government should look in this or It will be too Late when Meta could black mail us or use our Data to do bad works. It can even sell our data. Or even our data can be hacked from there servers who Knows. I request you all to please share this!!!!
