Meta and human rights abuses in Ethiopia
This was posted to the Fediverse today New 74-page Amnesty International report on Meta’s contributions to human rights abuses in Northern Ethiopia
Should make interesting reading, If I understand things, Meta have already been accused over human rights abuses in Myanmar.
For some reason we are going to trust our safety and privacy when it comes to AI to big tech, who clearly can't be trusted to police their own platforms properly.

Meta (Facebook and Instagram) prohibited from using personal data for advertisement.
This is a really important development in that it shows that the GDPR and the Law are to be followed. Massive win for our personal data protection. People are waking up and finally taking back control and see what big tech is really doing.

Facebook and personal data, the farce carries on.
Not a week goes by without Facebook or rather its parent company Meta Being in the news. A recent article, raises yet more questions about what happens to our personal data once Facebook / Meta get hold of it.
The GDPR is very clear as to how data can be used, the fact Facebook appear unable to control what goes on, shows they are not fit for purpose. Companies or individuals that use Facebook could end up complicit in any data misuse.
The problem probably arises as YOU sign up to Facebook and therefore consent to them using your data, photos etc.
This is why CHOICE is important. I don't have a problem with education establishments using Facebook for student communication, I just won't use it. I do object to people assuming I use Facebook.
