🚨NEW INQUIRY! - Behind the Face of AI🚨

In this short comic, two data workers describe their work impersonating an “AI” chatbot for a major social media platform. Sleepless nights, penalties for sounding “too human,” and emotional drain are just a few of the job hazards.

Programski direktor Crte o izborima: Promene su moguće uprkos lošim uslovima - IN Medija Programski direktor Crte Raša Nedeljkov izjavio je da je očigledno da se vlast više ne oseća nepobedivo i da zato izbegava raspisivanje vanrednih izbora.

Programski direktor Crte ocenjuje da SNS izbegava vanredne izbore, jer se vlast više ne oseća nepobedivo. Građani su danas bučniji, hrabriji i solidarniji, a promene su moguće uprkos lošim izbornim uslovima.

Tokom januara više od 20 Instagram naloga medija, novinara i aktivista u Srbiji suspendovano je nakon naglog priliva lažnih pratilaca. Nalozi su vraćeni tek posle pritiska javnosti, ali novi talasi napada se nastavljaju.

We preliminarily found TikTok in breach of the Digital Services Act for its addictive design.

Our investigation suggests that the platform did not properly consider how these addictive features could harm the physical and mental wellbeing of its users, including children and vulnerable adults.

Don’t believe the claims about ‘kids safety’ behind the push for Online ID checks. They are and always have been about surveillance and censorship.

@cassiewillson.bsky.social is spot on in this video

decided to see what upscrolled was like, and the third post i saw after making an account was csam

i already had concerns about the platform’s leadership, but now you can be certain i’m going nowhere near it and would recommend others stay away too

Big tech has gutted ad revenue and monopolized distribution, billionaires have exerted a corrosive control over the platforms, and both squeezed the industry away. We have to organize. We have to get systematic, and think and act collectively.

Absolutely gutting to see what's happened at the Post. These are some of the best working journalists out there. The best. The layoffs have nothing to do with the quality of the work. These are political decisions about what and what not to cover made by a billionaire.

again we do not really do a good job of explaining how wealthy people like Jeff Bezos are

his net worth is $253.2 billion.
so he could take one million dollars, and just light it on fire
and then do it again tomorrow
and again the day after that
and then do it every day for 693 years and 8 months

Even if they fined Google or Meta with a billion 💶 this would still not affect their bottom line, in the end they would probably pay much less than that. But if they were to be prohibited from publishing ads on their platforms in the 🇪🇺 for let's say 2 weeks, now that would be a game changer.

Ireland retains top spot in data enforcement The Irish Data Protection Commission remains Europe's largest data enforcer by a wide margin, having issued €4.04 billion in fines since May 2018.

The 🇮🇪 Data Protection Commission, the main authority for Big Tech in 🇪🇺, has collected only 20M 💶 out of 4 billion issued in fines. Enforcement in such a lucrative industry should not be about numbers, but punishing actions and practices deemed contrary to the law. www.rte.ie/news/2026/01...
