Hier haben wir der langen Liste der Gründe, warum die Welt ein besserer Ort wäre, wenn es Meta nicht gäbe, noch etwas hinzuzufügen. Meta ist nicht nur mit den Betrügern im Bunde, sie sind auch selbst zu Betrügern geworden.
Der einzige Teil der Welt, der bei der Regulierung von Big Tech über die nötigen Zähne zu verfügen scheint, ist die EU, und selbst sie ist dieser Aufgabe nicht ganz gewachsen. Da Big Tech nun nicht nur die Betrüger unterstützt, sondern selbst zu Betrügern geworden ist, ist es längst überfällig, dass sich der Rest der Welt dem Ansatz der EU anschließt.
The cost of unregulated Big Tech. New research shows that Meta not only refuses to remove scam ads, as it makes so much money from them, but it also tries to scam the regulators by hiding the ads from them.

If only we weren’t owned by the billionaires. Politicians around the world are in the pockets of the wealthy. Things won’t change
Don’t hate the player, hate the game. If Meta was not around anymore, another company would fill the niche of shady ad practices… Real change would only come about, if we would reform our economic system and how big data is integrated into it.
This may sound like a joke, but why can’t we have a single publicly owned global platform for social media. The same for a digital marketplace. You don’t need five Amazons, you need one marketplace that offers fair and transparent services to buyers and sellers.
Cold hard reality check – Meta has always been a scam. Most everything on the internet is designed to glean data from you and resell it to others who want to amplify the noise. In the early days of the internet it wasn’t quite as accurately targeted but it was still relentless – like the joke behind endless pop-up ads blocking out the entire browser – the same agenda is still what drives a vast majority of the internet because it’s the ad revenue that pays for everything.
Simple rule of thumb – if you’re not paying for it then you’re the commodity they’re selling to others.
The world would be so much better off if meta shuts down completely. The technology of a social network is fine, having it controlled by one guy trying to extract as much money as possible, ruins it. And as usual it is not the actual inventor who gets all the money but the business guy who scammed the inventor.
When Uber was originally founded they had a secret project where they’d hide rides from government employees so they couldn’t audit them.
Not just meta
The amount of outright illegal products advertised on YouTube is remarkable
