Looks like #tech giant #supermicro may be about to #die in the coming #recession , with the majority of their #revenue relying on #facebook https://lowendbox.com/blog/supermicro-is.. When the #recession kicks off #facebook will likely cut-back on #server #purchases .
Apparently 500 #million #user #details have been #leaked from #whatsapp and is so far looking to be true: https://cybernews.com/news/whatsapp-data.. #meta 's #facebook are yet to #disclose the #leak to any of the #users in 84 #countries that use their #service . They should be heavily #fined for knowing and not #disclosing this information to the public.
#meta / #facebook 's #layoffs are going to be 15% in the first round, mostly impacting #recruitment https://www.teamblind.com/post/Latest-Me.. Appaerntly we find out today or tomorrow.
Looks like #facebook 's #meta are looking to cut 1000s of #employees *this week* alone: https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/meta-r.. #stocks are down 70% this year and they have been #hiring at the same rate...
#facebook / #meta is not feeling too good: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/.. As the #article points out, the time of #faang #invincibility appears to be coming to a close. There have been massive #layoffs trying to save their #rearends , but it is unlikey to be enough.
Oh would you look at that, ex- #libedem #liberaldemocrats #leader #nickclegg apparently #caught accepting #bribes in his role as a #facebook #executive https://boingboing.net/2022/10/12/former.. I never thought the guy had a #backbone , and this backs that.
#meta #facebook and #alphabet #google are quietly #firing #employees #secretly by " #reorganizing ": https://www.zerohedge.com/political/face.. This adds to a long list of #tech #companies #firing people just before a #recession .
Apparently the #fbi told #facebook to #ban and #censor the #hunterbiden #laptop #story during the 2016 #election https://www.zerohedge.com/political/zuck.. So the #fbi is now #responsible for #misinformation ? (They literally have spent their entire time doing this...)
Interesting how when the #eu , namely #germany and #france is faced with the likes of #facebook , #instagram (and #meta in general), apparently #sovereignty is important! "Digital giants must understand that the European continent will resist and affirm its sovereignty". They #laughed when the #uk insisted on reclaiming its own... Also note how they speak as a #superstate , not individual #nations ... Whatever works for them I guess. As time goes on, I realise #britain is very different from the rest...
A #discussion about the #bmj #british #medical #journal being #factchecked by #facebook #factcheckers and being told they are #fasleinformation https://www.bmj.com/content/376/bmj.o95 Very scary. The BMJ is one the oldest and most respected medical journals out there, being told by some random person working for an #unqualified #socialmedia giant #employee that they are propagating lies. The cheek of it!
Seems like #facebook are cocking it up more, by #censoring the #british #medical #journal #bmj and their #independent #research into the #clinical #trails behind the #covid #vaccine https://www.bmj.com/content/375/bmj.n263.. Bare in mind, this is one of the #oldest and most #respected #medical #journals *in the world.* Who on earth do these #factcheckers think they are to question them? Which "higher power" are they checking their #facts with? Or is it #advertisers ...?
#markzuckerberg 's new #facebook #meta is asking for #nudes to apparently stop them from getting into the wrong hands... https://www.lotuseaters.com/meta-asks-fo.. The *same* #company that has experience massive #data #leaks in the past! Fuck no.
At least #zulip will not create a #crypto shit #coin https://blog.zulip.com/2021/11/12/why-no.. It's really concerning how many #companies / #platforms are getting involved with the #blockchain - including #facebook , #telegram , #signal , #twitter and #reddit ... Probably the biggest reason not to #implement it is the fact that #chat and #socialmedia do not need this.
Super interesting. #nz 's #wetadigital has now been #purchased by #unity https://blog.unity.com/news/welcome-weta.. What's even more interesting is that #peterjackson has done this so that he can re- #invest this #money back into #facebook 's new #metaverse #enterprise - something we are yet to even see #materialise !
Oops, I very almost allowed myself to get #scammed on #facebook ... There is a #friend I have not spoken to a in *very* long time and this person has the same name. I just assumed they are the same person.
From what I understand so far, I believe #facebook are building the ' #metaverse ' to build a #monopoly #internet that is under the control of #markzuckerberg - specifically for all #vr applications: https://www.johncoogan.com/facebook-vr/ I suspect they have been looking at #roblox and their #marketplace with great #jealousy - and are now looking to build out their own #competitor using their #domination with #vr #technology thanks to their #acquisition of #oculus ...
