Warum ist das neue Buch "Careless People" von Sarah Wynn-Williams kein größeres Thema in deutschen Medien? 🤨 Die Whisteblowerin wirft Mark Zuckerberg und Facebook vor, dass sie weitgehend mit dem chinesischen Staat in Bezug auf Zensur und Überwachung zusammenarbeiten wollten - Meta versucht den Verkauf des Buches gerade zu verhindern.

Most Facebook executives didn't allow their own children on Facebook - according to Ms Wynn-Williams. "They had screen bans. They certainly wouldn't allow them to use the product."

And yet she says reports from 2017 - that the company had been using algorithms to target and categorise vulnerable teens - were true.

"The algorithm could infer that they were feeling worthless or unhappy," she alleges.

The company - which also owns Instagram and WhatsApp - could, she claims, identify when a teenage girl had deleted a selfie on its platforms, and then notify a beauty company that it would be a good moment to target the child with an advert.

Ms Wynn-Williams says she "felt sick" at the thought and tried to push back, "although I knew it was futile".

Ms Wynn-Williams claims that in the mid-2010s, as part of its negotiations with the Chinese government, Facebook considered allowing it future access to Chinese citizens' user data.

"He was working hand in glove with the Chinese Communist Party, building a censorship tool…"

'Ms Wynn-Williams says governments frequently asked for explanations of how aspects of Facebook's software worked, but were told it was proprietary information.

"But when it came to the Chinese, the curtain was pulled back," she says.

"Engineers were brought out. They were walked through every aspect, and Facebook was making sure these Chinese officials were upskilled enough that they could not only learn about these products, but then test Facebook on the censorship version of these products that they were building."

tfw #SteveBannon keeps making great points:

> "Remember, #Zuckerberg and all these guys came out of graduate schools [and] they didn't have any money. The people that invest - it's all pension fund money. So it's Oregon State Pension Fund, it's #CalPERS, it's Alabama Teachers Fund. All of their money: this is the Greek tragedy part of this. The American working class and middle class have essentially, through their hard work and savings, paid for their own destruction. Your greatest strength was turned against you. Your ability to be a good householder, your ability to actually have something, your ability to pay your taxes on a regular basis and have a little something put away, that's what the venture capitalists and the hedge funds use to ship the jobs overseas and destroy, not only your own economics and your personal life but to make sure that your children and grandchildren essentially live like serfs"

#Trump braucht einen kräftigen Dämpfer: Gegenzölle, Restriktionen für amerikanisches Militär auf europäischem Gebiet, Stornierung von Waffen-Orders bei Lockheed u.a. , Durchsetzung von EU Recht gegen #musk und #zuckerberg

“When billionaires take control of our communication channels, it’s not a win for free speech. It’s a win for their billionaire propaganda. When they talk of “personal liberties and free markets,” they mean their own liberties to become even richer and more powerful, as the rest of America slides into worse economic insecurity and fear. When they speak of “freedom,” what they actually seek is freedom from accountability.”
—Robert Reich, It’s the oligarchy, stupid.

”All three of these men [Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk & Mark Zuckerberg] were in the first row at Trump’s inauguration. They, and other billionaires, have now exposed themselves for what they are. … They are supporting a tyrant who is promising them tax cuts and regulatory rollbacks that will make them even richer… When billionaires take control of our communication channels, it’s not a win for free speech.”

By the time #Trump assumed power, #Zuckerberg was lavishing him w/praise. “We now have a US admin that is proud of our leading companies,” he gushed of the man who had…threatened him w/ #prison, “that prioritizes American technology winning. And that will defend our values & interests abroad.” His rehabilitation complete, Zuckerberg assumed a place of pride at Trump’s inauguration, alongside #JeffBezos, #ElonMusk, & other [#oligarchs].…

Because #Trump had recently warned, “We are watching [Zuckerberg] closely, & if he does anything *illegal*” during Trump’s 2nd term, “he will spend the rest of his life in #prison,” this opportunity must have sounded enticing. #Zuckerberg indicated that he would not in any way obstruct Trump’s agenda, acc/to the Times, & foisted blame for any prior offenses onto subordinates.

Meta decided to stop working with U.S. fact-checkers at the same time as it’s revamping a program to pay bonuses to creators with high engagement numbers, potentially pouring accelerant on the kind of false posts the company once policed.
