At least #Perplexity got one thing right:

-----
Multiple
#independent #investigations and #leaked #internal #data confirm that #SocialMedia platforms—especially #Meta (#Facebook and #Instagram)—have engaged in #widespread, #systematic #censorship of #pro-Palestinian #content, often in direct response to #Israeli #government #requests[1][2][3][4][6][7]. This censorship has resulted in the #removal, #suppression, or #shadowbanning of tens of thousands of #posts and #accounts, with a disproportionate impact on users from Arab and Muslim-majority countries, but also affecting users worldwide[2][3][4][6].

Key points from the evidence:

- Meta has complied with 94% of Israeli government takedown requests since October 7, 2023, resulting in over 90,000 immediate removals and the suppression of millions more posts through automated systems[2][3][4][6].
- The vast majority of these requests targeted
#content #critical of #Israel or #supportive of #Palestinians, and only a tiny fraction targeted Israeli users[3][6].
-
#HumanRightsWatch and other NGOs have documented this as a #global, #systemic pattern of #censorship, not isolated incidents[1][5][7].
- There is no comparable evidence of systematic censorship or suspension for users expressing pro-Israeli views; the
#documented #bias overwhelmingly targets pro-Palestinian speech[1][2][3][4][5][6][7].

In summary, the documented reality is that pro-Palestinian views are aggressively censored on major social media sites, while pro-Israeli views do not face the same level of moderation or suppression. This creates a significant imbalance in the digital public sphere[1][2][3][4][6][7].

Human Rights Watch · Meta’s Broken PromisesThe 51-page report, “Meta’s Broken Promises: Systemic Censorship of Palestine Content on Instagram and Facebook,” documents a pattern of undue removal and suppression of protected speech including peaceful expression in support of Palestine and public debate about Palestinian human rights. Human Rights Watch found that the problem stems from flawed Meta policies and their inconsistent and erroneous implementation, overreliance on automated tools to moderate content, and undue government influence over content removals.

I really love amazing finds, hence:

Please stop recommending or listing #Fediverse #accounts that are literally dead, and in ruins.

Just because somebody "secured" their name by signing up with an arbitrary server, back in May 2023, and posted twice (1. "Hello", 2."I'm so going to switch to Mastodon!") doesn't make their cadaver account worth following.

Recommend a living person instead that chooses to post, once in while. There is ample choice of fabulous people here!

Thank you for not wasting my time with disappointments.

(Boost appreciated.)

@mos_8502 sadly, #Shitter has refused to #comply with my demand to provide me with an offline-searchable & human-readable #archive of my #Accounts and subsequent deletion to this day.

Cuz I'm shure @Bundesverband and @noybeu would love to fine #Musk into compliance.

Jetzt stellt sich mir die Frage ob man nicht Mal eine #Liste mit empfehlenswerten Accounts zum Thema #pnpde #Rollenspiele zusammen zu stellen. Welche #Accounts würdet ihr Menschen empfehlen die gerne Rollenspiele spielen bzw kennenlernen wollen ?

IF YOU ARE ON A #TECH INSTANCE THAT IS CLOSING DOWN, YOU CAN ALWAYS MOVE TO #TECHHUB.

We just got a new server in Canada and are adding new moderators: we are well-connected, and ready to bring in anyone who needs an account here. If your server is #ShuttingDown, and you want to talk about #programming, #engineering, #electronics, #AI, #gaming, or anything else #science and #technology related, please come over here right away so we have time to get everything transferred!

#FediTips: To move an account, make the new account, and go into Settings -> Account, and use the two options at the bottom to link each account to the other. You can also download all your data, and import some of your old #Mastodon data on the new one.

If you need help, feel free to contact me: I am open to helping anyone who needs it with making #accounts, moving accounts, and getting set up on a new #account.

#fediverse, please #boost this to help get people #moving from the closing servers!

(6/N) A final set of prompts, for three more categories. Add the related data "assets" that come to your mind to your spreadsheet:

🛰️ #Geospatial data

🗺️ Current #position
🏠 Place of residence
🛰️ GNSS-precision tracks
🗓️ Appointment #calendars
🎫 #Ticket purchases
🏨 Room #reservations

🛜 #Infrastructure

🌐 #Internet access
🛜 #Router
🟰 Network neutrality
💻 Hardware
🧑‍💻 Software
🪙 Means of #payment

🫥 #Accounts and #handles

📧 Email & Messaging (including content)
⭐ Social media
☁️ Cloud
🫥 Pseudonyms & personas

Remember many data "assets" will fall into multiple categories. For every asset, leave a checkmark in all applicable category columns.

(4/N) Having reflected a bit on your abstract assets, try to brainstorm as many of your related data and device assets as possible. Most of them will fall into one or more of the following categories:

🪪 Personally Identifiable Information (#PII)
📇 Social graphs
🗃️ Data and metadata
🛰️ #Geospatial data
🛜 Infrastructure
🫥 #Accounts and #handles

For instance, your smartphone photo collection "asset" probably contains geospatial data (#GPS coordinates in #EXIF); data and metadata (phone brand and model, in EXIF); potentially also information about your social graph, in case your family, friends or acquaintances are on your photos.

It's probably best to track your data and device assets in a spreadsheet, with the above categories as additional columns, so you can place a checkmark, where appropriate. I'd also suggest to add a column to track where the data is stored / the device is located.

Here's a little list of 🪪 Personally Identifiable Information (PII), to get you started (other categories in next posts):

🪪 Any kind of identity document
🎂 Dates of significant life events
👆 #Biometric data
⚕️ #Health data
🧬 #DNA test results
👪 #Genealogy data

Ideas?
#fixedrate #account has a larger % #AER for #monthly over #annual #interest #payments. It doesn't appear to be #compound (with the monthly #interest going back into the #account) as you specify a different account for it to be #paid into. #Customerservice couldn't give me a reason.
