'We're having a moment' - fear and denial in Silicon Valley over social media addiction trial

Fear and denial, but no remorse or regret huh? Truly, it is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends on his not understanding it.

Wedium, Europe's answer to TikTok and Instagram?

Website: https://wedium.social/

It's a "100% European" platform that requires identity verification to post content, whereas lurkers who just consume content don't have to be verified.

Thoughts on whether this has a shot at taking off?

IAB Sweden CEO explains the rare decision to expel Meta

Basically the Swedish chapter of a global trade organization for digital marketing and advertising kicked Meta out because they have too many scam ads on their platforms, and instead of blocking fraudsters Meta chose to charge them more money so they could also rake in $$$ from fraud.

Good to see SOME orgs still have a backbone!

Meta Delays Rollout of New A.I. Model After Performance Concerns

It's bad enough that they're even considering licensing Google's Gemini.

Fingers crossed that Meta just flushed more billions down the toilet!
