Social media platforms like Meta and X (formerly Twitter) tolerate a wide range of content but restrict public tracking of celebrities’ private jet routes, citing privacy concerns.

Meta suspended accounts run by Jack Sweeney, who used public data to track jets of prominent figures like Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk, highlighting privacy risks for powerful individuals.

The article points out the irony of Meta’s selective privacy enforcement, given its ongoing issues with protecting users from harmful content like disinformation and predatory behavior.

    Wonder if data brokers get info on billionaires too. Let’s normalize exposing everything billionaires do by buying their data, and presenting it to the world

      Oh yes, they have lists of famous people whose data is removed, in fact the big data company I used to work for had a whole team dedicated to keeping these lists updated.

    I have reported so much stuff on Facebook, including obvious harassment where someone did multiple posts just abusing people

    It never gets removed.

    But my post telling people where I could be found in the mountains when hiking was for cybersecurity or whatever (in case I disappeared I made this post).

    Facebook has turned to complete shit, to the point after 30 years, i wish there was a better alternative

    Luckily we have spaces such as the Fediverse where we can escape CorpoNet.

      That’s… Incitement to violence, pretty sure that’s banworthy everywhere since it’s actually illegal.

      It would be equally illegal to say ‘kill the poor’, ‘kill <some racial group>’, or ‘kill fans of the big bang theory’, though obviously nobody would object to the latter.

            Good luck with that status quo.

              You can have steady change without radical change, that’s why we don’t have child labor anymore.

              The problem is people get complacent and then horrible assholes break everything behind the scenes.

              When things look like they’re going well, that’s when you know the game is being fixed.

                If you don’t think we have child labor, you haven’t read the news. And if you haven’t read the news, you wouldn’t realize we need radical change.

        Great. I’ll join in on the incitement of violence against those raping us out of our very existence.

        Kill them all.
