A tale as old as colonialism: Unscrupulous human beings profit off of ethnic-cleansing and genocide.
'Illegal settlements' doesn't quite convey the extreme violence and injustice of what Israel is and has been doing in the West Bank.

US trade war: EU prepares to retaliate with Big Tech in its sights.
France says a response from the EU to Trump's new 20% tariff will "probably" come at the end of the month. A government spokesperson told RTL that services will be targeted, not just goods, including from companies like Google and Apple.
With Meta, Amazon and Apple stock all down, the EU looks primed to twist the knife.
Stretching the definition of "Secret" here.
Bet their PR depts are chuffed that such a secret has been uncovered.

Per capire bene cosa è Facebook, dovremmo sforzarci di guardarlo con gli occhi di chi ha visto il proprio padre linciato a seguito di minacce di morte complete di indirizzo ripetutamente condivise e lasciate libere di circolare sulla piattaforma, e non può più tornare nel proprio paese perché rischia di fare la stessa fine.
Ein #Meta Boykott ist ein Witz - da lacht der #Zuckerberg drüber! Dieses Trumpzäpfchen hat nur so viel Macht,weil die vielen User ihm die verleihen! Was man verleiht, holt man sich wieder zurück! Das wirkt: #DeleteFacebook #DeleteWhatsApp #DeleteInstagram #DeleteMeta #UnPlugTrump #Threema 4 All!
Mulla ei ole ollut henkkoht tiliä Fb:ssa 7(?) vuoteen (en muista enää milloin lähdin). Kirjailijatilinkin lopetin useita vuosia sitten. Ihmiset mainitsee usein ryhmät syyksi jäädä sinne. Oma kokemukseni: mä en enää edes muista, missä ryhmissä olin. Muistan että ne tuntui silloin tärkeiltä. Ei ne olleet.
Panee miettimään, että iso osa niistä syistä, joiden takia ihmiset jää roistosomeihin, on lopulta sellaisia, jotka ei tunnu pidemmän päälle enää tärkeiltä. Niihin on vaan totuttu.

My Threads account was just suspended. But I haven't logged in months.
Maybe now Instagram will stop trying to push me to share my posts on Threads?
In its judgment, the General Court of the European Union strengthened the conciliation and regulatory powers of the European Data Protection Board.
"The DPC will have to continue its investigations into Meta unless it chooses to refer the matter to the European Court of Justice. Given the timeline of the original investigation, which began in 2018, it may still take several years before a final determination is made regarding the GDPR compliance of Meta’s business model, particularly in relation to behavioural advertising."

Final stage of #enshittification of Meta products, they added Meta AI to WhatsApp.
I already use #signal, but I think I will now start a campaign to get close friends and family to switch. This can't be tolerated anymore. I hope EU do something about this.
So much "preaching to the choir" going on here!
Maybe it'd be better to analyse and talk strategy?
@AAMfP yeah, #Meta is holding market pretty tight when it comes to the chat clients. Looks like every country except US is using #whatsapp as a top chat client and their services are pretty well integrated with this client as well. I like the UI of the app and you have to admit that from user perspective, the experience is really good. At least on #android platform. Don't get me started on how much data they're stealing and security :-)
