I don't even know where to start with this. The last couple of times I've talked about Meta it's taken me tens of thousands of words to explain just how bad their decisions are. This one is even worse. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...
Zuckerberg will soon "get rid of" fact-checkers across Meta platforms. He massively confuses fact-checking with "censorhip" 👇. Seems Meta will soon become the same cesspool of hate and misinformation as X. Well done Mark - more BlueSky users incoming!

Depends on where you are in the world 😉
So damn true 💯
Miranda Gabbott writes that in a #climate crisis, the water consumption required by data centers must be scrutinized closely. Looking at a development near her home in Barcelona, she asks: By choosing #AI industry-driven growth today, will urban planners in #Spain jeopardize their #water tomorrow?
