    How is this article related to the fediverse? It doesn’t even mention threads. This just seems like another “Facebook bad” article, which, while it might be true, doesn’t seem directly relevant to this sublemmy.

      Meta runs Facebook.

      Meta also runs Threads.

      Threads runs on top of the ActivityPub protocol.

      Some instances federate with Threads.

      How is it not relevant if they’re willing to buy a company and hijack traffic for numbers, what won’t they do when they can just spin up a server and syphon data?

    Wow. I’m totally shocked that Facebook would launch a free VPN out of nowhere and then use it for nefarious purposes. I was sure they just wanted to help humanity. /s

        This is stupid. China bans American social media and you don’t care. America does the same back and now it’s a conspiracy.

        The FBI Director puts covers over his camera when he was testifying in Congress. Its safe to say that it should be a mandatory thing for everyone.
