Neben den üblichen Verdächtigen wie #Instagram, #TikTok, #X und Co. macht auch das #Fediverse mit Diensten wie @pixelfed oder dem Kurznachrichtendienst @Mastodon auf sich aufmerksam. Im Hinblick auf eine Abkehr von #BigTech können dezentrale Plattformen wie diese helfen, digitale Souveränität erleben zu können.

#Meta & #Google have denied the allegations, & pointed to their work to add features that keep users safe. Meta has often pointed to a NAS finding that research does not show #socialmedia changes #kids' #MentalHealth.
The lawsuit is a test case for similar claims in a larger group of cases against Meta, #Alphabet's Google, #Snap & #TikTok. Families, school districts & states have filed thousands of lawsuits in the #US accusing the companies of fueling a #youth mental health crisis.
#TikTok agreed to #settle a landmark #socialmedia #addiction lawsuit just before the #trial kicked off, plaintiff’s attorneys confirmed.
The social video platform was 1 of 3 companies — along with #Meta’s #Instagram & #Google’s #YouTube — facing claims that their platforms deliberately addict & harm #children. A 4th company named in the lawsuit, #Snapchat parent company Snap Inc., settled the case last week for an undisclosed sum.

A popular TikTok channel featuring an "Aboriginal man" presenting animal facts has been exposed as an AI forgery.
AI is Iggy Azalea on an industrial scale:
"The self-described “Bush Legend” on TikTok, Facebook and Instagram is growing in popularity.
"These short and sharp videos feature an Aboriginal man – sometimes painted up in ochre, other times in an all khaki outfit – as he introduces different native animals and facts about them.
...
"But the Bush Legend isn’t real. He is generated by artificial intelligence (AI).
"This is a part of a growing influx of AI being utilised to represent Indigenous peoples, knowledges and cultures with no community accountability or relationships with Indigenous peoples. It forms a new type of cultural appropriation, one that Indigenous peoples are increasingly concerned about."
...
"We are seeing the rise of an AI Blakface that is utilised with ease thanks to the availability and prevalence of AI.
"Non-Indigenous people and entities are able to create Indigenous personas through AI, often grounded in stereotypical representations that both amalgamate and appropriate cultures."
