À partir du 27 mai, Meta va utiliser les données des comptes Insta, FB et Threads publics pour entraîner ses modèles d'IA générative.
Ce week-end, sur insta, j'ai donc fait un tuto à l'arrache pour celle.ux qui voudraient s'y opposer.

Vu le succès de l'outil, je l'ai remis au propre pour Next :

Ça fait un moment que je voulais prendre du temps pour explorer tous les paramètres de confidentialité des différents réseaux sociaux et autres GAFAM sur lesquels je suis -malheureusement- encore. (en vrai je suis sur FB et Insta pour ma boite et j'utilise Google juste parce-que... voilà)

C'est tellement mal fichu, bien entendu pour te démotiver à creuser et à trouver comment désactiver des trucs.

Mais ça y est, j'ai pris plusieurs heures je me suis motivée.
Et du coup je me suis dit que c'était dommage de ne pas noter toutes mes recherches et mes trouvailles, histoire que ça puisse profiter à d'autres.

Du coup j'ai tout mis en ligne sur mon vieux blog Wordpress (que j'ai clairement délaissé depuis sa création il y a... beaucoup d'années 😅).

J'ai essayé d'etre claire et de tout classer au mieux pour que ce soit facile à suivre.

The Streisand effect is an unintended consequence of attempts to hide, remove, or censor information, where the effort instead increases public awareness of the information. The term was coined by Mike Masnick after Barbra Streisand attempted in 2003 to suppress the publication of a photograph showing her clifftop residence in Malibu, taken to document coastal erosion in California, inadvertently drawing far greater attention to the previously obscure photograph. The effect exemplifies psychological reactance, in which the attempt to hide information instead makes it more interesting to seek out and propagate

Meta is trying to stop a former employee from promoting her book about Facebook: https://www.engadget.com/social-media/meta-is-trying-to-stop-a-former-employee-from-promoting-her-book-about-facebook-004938899.html

Edit #1: the fuckers won an 'emergency ruling' to have the distribution of the book stopped: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cq5zyq0250wo

Edit #2: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/mar/14/mark-zuckerberg-free-speech-meta-sheryl-sandberg - lol:

'I am as shocked as I am confused that Mark Zuckerberg is going all-out to block a memoir by Facebook’s former director of global public policy, Sarah Wynn-Williams. I thought information wanted to be free? I definitely heard that speech should be. We know Meta’s revolting oligarch doesn’t write his self-serving public pronouncements, but he should at least make time in his busy Magafication schedule to read them.'

If you are staying on a corporate
social media platform because the people you follow are still there, consider others are also staying there because you are still there.

Someone needs to start the move.
Be that person.

Leave X for good.
Leave Facebook forever.
Remember blue skies eventually turn grey.

Embrace the social media that cannot get sold to a billionaire. Embrace the Fediverse 💚

Tonight, I sent my public Facebook page into hibernation. I am leaving up as an archive of my work in the Senate and my work as a journalist. But I no longer find it fun or useful to post there - and my algorithm sends me is a never ending stream of racist, transphobic and smutty posts. That - plus the standard chronic abuse from trolls, which had always been there - and I’m done. Tomorrow I delete my Senate Instagram account too. Ah well. It was fun while it lasted.
