Ok wow, ich hätte das Kapitel erstmal zuende lesen sollen... anscheinend gab (gibt?) es Facebook Board-Mitglieder die kein Problem damit gehabt hätten (oder hatten? 
) den europäischen Faschisten im Wahlkampf zu helfen um Regulierungen zu verhindern. Wtf??
Schon etwas verrückt dass sich Facebook selber mit den Problemen der Tabakindustrie verglichen hat als es um Regulierung und die öffentliche Wahrnehmung ihres "Produktes" ging... (Siehe "Careless People" Kapitel 30 von Sarah Wynn-Williams)
Wenn man den Gedanken weiterspinnt dann sind Instagramm und Whatsapp die Vapes von Facebook?

@bpb Anstatt die Firmen die Social Media anbieten dazu zu zwingen endlich Verantwortung zu übernehmen sollen die Freiheiten der jungen Bürger*innen eingeschränkt werden? Absurder Ansatz.
Lieber #BreakUpBigTech und #NoAds auf Plattformen als die Freiheit potentiell aller im Internet einschränken!
Der Streit zwischen Trump & Musk – und Musks Plan, eine eigene Partei zu gründen – sollte uns nicht darüber hinwegtäuschen: Tech-Milliardäre haben ihren Einfluss auf das Trump-Lager nicht verloren. Wir sind besorgt über den Lobbydruck von US-Big Tech auf den Digital Markets Act. Europa muss standhalten! #DMA #BreakupBigTech

Having just read these revelations from you, Sophie, following you is a no-brainer imho.

NEW POLL: roughly TWICE as many people in France, Germany and Spain want the EU to break up Big Tech giants, as those who don't.
@EUCommission will soon decide whether to dismantle Google's toxic adtech monopoly. Will it listen to EU citizens and #breakupbigtech?

And as @EUCommission is deciding whether to break-up Google's toxic ad-tech monopoly...
Roughly TWICE as many respondents want the EU to #BreakUpBigTech, as those who don't. Break up Google!
Apoyamos la acción de @PeopleVsBigTech para acabar con el monopolio de Google.
Somos más de 115.000 las personas que exigimos a @EU_Commission que desmantelen el dominio ilegal en la publicidad digital que debilita a medios y democracia.
ally) Yeah well we're going to change that. Right #Fediverse ?
Google doesn't own us, it's nobody's town square, and we can do better than willingly cede culture to one shitty corporation.
#BreakUpBigTech
@PeopleVsBigTech Your campaign to #BreakUpBigTech comes at the right time, now that the break up of Google is before a US court! However, without support from the home jurisdiction of the #BigTech firms (mostly outside of the EU), the EU Commission will find it challenging to break them up.

Google's monopoly power rips off consumers, pollutes our information environment, and destroys the news media. A US judge recently ruled that it is illegal.
Now it's time for @EU_Commission to act! #BreakUpBigTech

@Gargron Mark Suckerberg's #meta is as #evil as #bigtech goes - one needs look no further than at what IG does to kids - so this is no surprise. On hindsight, good decision not to use neither f*book nor IG.

@stux When the insides are rotten as shit, any and all manner of cosmetic retouch or rebranding will be futile, if done without any repairs of the rotten essentials inside. QED
#BreakupBigTech
The US ruled against Google's monopoly. Europe should do the same. We count on the European Commission and Competition Commissioner

Oh Meta hat nachgelegt und erlaubt jetzt nicht nur Transfeindlichkeit auf seinen Platformen sondern stoppt auch Programme um Diversität in der Firma zu fördern: https://www.faz.net/aktuell/wirtschaft/unternehmen/zuckerberg-beendet-diversitaetsprogramme-bei-meta-110224984.html
