New: Meta has deleted trans and nonbinary Messenger themes, as well as the blog posts announcing them. Happens the same week that it has changed its rules to allow users to say LGBTQ+ people are "mentally ill"

@404mediaco and this is after people have USED those themes
ie. been lulled into making themselves known targets
and note "Machine “Gaydar”: Using Facebook Profiles to Predict Sexual
Orientation [...] created a [gaydar] model with an accuracy of 91.02%" https://cs229.stanford.edu/proj2015/019_report.pdf was a DECADE ago - the accuracy is surely improved since.

@datum @404mediaco That is an excellent point. The scariest thing about the Project 2025 agenda is that the people behind it are smart and IT-savvy and know how to use Big Data and all the info people willingly share about themselves to identify LGBTQ people, leftists, and other targets.
I learned of the danger of rogue IT reading IBM and the Holocaust 20 years ago. That book was released in summer 2001, and I think the 9/11 attacks took attention away.
Auschwitz tattoos were punch card ID's.

@datum @404mediaco Edwin Black walks through the whole process of how the Nazis automated the Holocaust and tracked their various enemies, not just the 6 million Jews, but also Communists, gay people, political enemies, Jehovah's Witnesses (refused to fight for religious reasons), etc.. They used punch cards to tabulate causes of death, how hard they worked them for slave labor, and making the trains run on time.
And the profits moved through Switzerland back to HQ, even in diplomatic pouches.

@datum @404mediaco The USA also used IBM tabulators to sift through census data to find all the Japanese Americans to send to concentration camps here during the War).
None of this shows up in computer history because the tabulators IBM leased in the 1940's predated computers, using electromechanical circuits and swappable plugboards to customize the behavior.
IBM punch cards were invented by an American, Herman Hollerith, who designed an early system for the 1870 US Census. Foreshadowing!

@jhamby @datum @404mediaco The Census? Foreshadowing what?
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from slotrak@hachyderm.io
@slotrak @datum @404mediaco Foreshadowing that census records (and birth records, baptism records, marriage records, etc.) were used later by the Nazis to identify Jews to send to the death camps, and also by the USA to identify Japanese American citizens to send to our concentration camps after FDR's order to do so.

@jhamby @404mediaco "Auschwitz tattoos were punch card ID's."
More people need to understand this.
Machinization of computation provides organizational power, and organized is efficient, and efficiency doesn't distinguish good from bad things

@datum @jhamby @404mediaco
Effectiveness is not the same as efficient.
Efficiency is doing more things more faster and cheaper.
Effectiveness is about doing the right things.

@404mediaco no-one's yet covered the hypothetical: if Meta allow LGBTQIA+ people to be considered mentally ill... isn't this effectively allowing slurs against everyone on the basis that you believe that they are LGBTQIA+... and in turn, the only way for it to not fit within the moderation rules, is for the victim to prove that they are not LGBTQIA+.
we're back to genital inspections but now for the cis, and acts of sexual proof but now for the heterosexuals.
the whole thing is crazy.
I'd engage in testing their logic were it not for the fact I'm just not an asshole.

@404mediaco a great irony is that trans folk don't need to know this; they probably already do, but it's also too late - their info either is or isn't out there.
The people who need to know this are the bulk of the population, in hopes the masses might defend a group that's very obviously about to be oppressed.
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from datum@zeroes.ca
@datum @404mediaco Absolutely. I think the best thing the masses can do in terms of protecting communities that are being targeted, including trans folk, is to start using encrypted comms like Signal and stop oversharing to social media so it doesn't look suspicious when vulnerable people are also using Signal and otherwise guarding their privacy to not be found out by the new Handmaid's Tale patrol.

Earlier this week, @yassie_j pointed out that the Facebook company which they want us to call "Meta" renamed the trans and enby themes on their chat application to 'Candy Floss' and 'Golden Sunset'.
That change was undeniably in preparation for this particular one.

@disco3000 @404mediaco What's worse is I'm afraid Zuck is fully Joe Rogan-pilled and actually believes it's everyone's right to bully trans people and otherwise be hateful and ignorant in public. Because that makes the most ad revenue. He's giving the people bread and circuses, as the Romans he so admires liked to call it.

Why is anyone still using FB? Not just because of this but because it's been terrible for years.

@godzero @404mediaco
Young people aren't using FB, although Instagram is designed to cater to even under-13's who legally shouldn't be allowed on the platform (in the US, due to COPPA restrictions on collecting personal info from under-13's without parental consent).
Meta is currently being sued by 33 states, over deceptive business practices in acting like tobacco companies and claiming their products aren't addictive, toxic, nor targeted to children, when they know with data that they are.

Few days ago someone posted about the "First they came for the Communists" and that person wrote it is wrong. It did not start with the Communists.
This 404 media article reminds me of that post.
And when you think about it, that famous text is from the 1950 written by a Christian pastor. In that time it was still taboo in lots of countries to be openly gay. And no churches with rainbow flags. https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_they_came...

@regendans First, they came for the Currently Designated Bad People.
In 1950s' USA, it was the Communists. Now, it's trans women and children.

I left Facebook in Dec 2022, in part because I couldn't turn off the ability of people to message me. I never once wanted to use that app.
In any case, I always suspected that corporations decorating their sites in Pride colors was pretty meaningless. Regardless, this move is beyond petty, and removing blog posts on the subject is telling.
