idk if this has been shared yet by others here but like, beyond just what Meta’s “transparency center” already describes publicly, the leaked internal documents are Insane. full article: https://theintercept.com/2025/01/09/facebook-instagram-meta-hate-speech-content-moderation/  ![Overall, the restrictions on claims of ethnic or religious supremacy has been eased significantly. The document explains that Meta now allows “statements of superiority as long as the statements do not refer to inferiority of another [protected characteristic] group (a) on the basis of inherent intellectual ability and (b) without support.” Allowable statements under this rule include “Latinos are the best!” and “Black people are superior to all others.” Also now acceptable are comparative claims such as “Black people are more violent than Whites,” “Mexicans are lazier than Asians,” and “Jews are flat out greedier than Christians.” Off-limits, only because it pertains to intellectual ability, is the example “White people are more intelligent than black people.”](https://friends.grishka.me/i/m1k8LoWNphEB1T5wzawEOxNMIsSJAlkYExEuCr_Bjtc/q:90/rs:fit:2560:2560/bG9jYWw6Ly8vcy9tZWRpYV9jYWNoZS9kZjJhOWU1NjMwZDlhNGU0NGVhMDIyMDY0MTBjYjc2NC53ZWJw.jpg)

 @h this seems deliberately designed to cause as much harm and antagonism as possible
it feels like a last ditch attempt to farm ever-increasing engagement  @h sign-up prompt bypass: use the email address thisisnotanemail@theintercept.com -- they don't validate it first before accepting it.

 @h wait why is this bad ? :neofox_googly_shocked:  I was poleaxed the first time I saw the !!! javascript operator, and then researched it and learned it's actually useful in context. Fuck ECMA-script. Second worst thing in the software world, after Windows. people talk a lot about jpegxl having better compression and thats true but it needs more credit for this

 @h can webp even be progressively decoded? the guy from IJG had something to say about movie-derived formats being bad at this, but maybe he meant AVIF @h@social.besties.house jpeg xl needs better branding, "needs more jpeg" is a literal meme describing poor image quality and at least my flinch reaction when learning about it was "oh no not another lossy format". Very impressive results though @h@social.besties.house google when they see a good image standard (they won't support it) |
@h This makes me laugh every.single.day.
@h wow this bug feels like Mastodon history that will never be remembered
@h omg somebody kill him already
