I don't use Instagram Reels much anymore since uninstall the app about 6 months ago, but once in a while I absent-mindedly click into it from the browser. And I cannot believe just how bad the content it is feeding me has gotten.

Every. Other. Reel. is something that is overtly racist, sexist, or horrible (i.e. mocking someone with down syndrome.) When I used the app, my "algorithm" was basically skateboard videos, cats, rock climbing, and left-wing comedy skits. Traces of that remain, but the majority of content has become hypertoxic.

I can't tell if this is the new normal for Instagram, or if the algorithm has "reset" for me and this is what Zuck wants a late 20s white guy in America to be seeing on a regular basis. There's undeniable convenience for Zuck and how he's positioned himself in normalizing this stuff given the larger political picture and how he's aligned himself with Trump.

Anyone else having a similar experience?

Zuck said Meta is in a "partnership" with White House; Google is following suit. Musk controls the Whitehouse

Meanwhile, Europeans are starting to see US data services as “no longer safe”

Here's a resource collection of non-US services, and more:

WIRED · How to Avoid US-Based Digital Services—and Why You Might Want ToBy Violet Blue

«An exposé by a former employee of Meta has become a bestseller despite the social media company banning the author from promoting the book.

»"Careless People" by Sarah Wynn-Williams, a former director of global public policy at Meta’s precursor, Facebook, topped the New York Times bestseller chart and will be fourth on the Sunday Times nonfiction hardback chart this weekend.

»Wynn-Williams’ memoir is her account of seven years she spent at the company. She “had become part of what reads like a diabolical cult run by emotionally stunted men babies, institutionally enabled sexual harassers and hypocritical virtue-signalling narcissists”.»

The Guardian · Meta exposé tops bestseller chart despite company’s attempt to ban its promotionBy Ella Creamer

Never forget that the same techbro minds that want to bring us the #TurdReich are the minds that thought people would replace normal life with the Metaverse for even a hot second after "Stay at Home" orders were lifted.

Y'all, we can beat these people. They're fools.
