@arstechnica I read it and all I saw was #Threads data collection but not #Twitter or #Mastodon so article is misleading. Anything #Meta collects all our data whether on or off the platform whether or not we have an account there #MetaPixel embedded in sites, Partners hand over all our data. Most invasive platform. #Mastodon collects none. #Twitter collects a lot but most concerning is Musk’s partners, the Saudis. He seems more allied with BRICS countries than the West.

Only just spotted this.
Twenty #NHS trusts are sharing intimate details about patients’ medical conditions, appointments & treatments with #Facebook without consent and despite promising never to do so.
"The data includes granular details of pages viewed, buttons clicked and keywords searched. It is matched to the user’s IP address – an identifier linked to an individual or household – and in many cases details of their Facebook account"

I love this: Lawyers are using a privacy law from the 1980s (originally passed to protect your Blockbuster rental info) to sue video websites for privacy violations. Incredible.

I’ve created a Pixelfed account on the Metapixel instance. How do I follow my Metapixel account in my Mastodon account? Any help appreciated!
