solution: australia joins the EU
I mean they already take part in the Eurovision so why not? Additional bonus: people will have an even harder time differentiating Austria and Australia
solution: EU criteria is lowered to Eurovision participation
American here. Can we come too?
I suggested this once and someone replied “please no you’ll bring the Republicans into the legislature”
Please make sure to implement democracy first, we have enough issues with dictatorships and oligopolies already.
Of course!
Just lose the -

the religious weirdo thing
And you’ll be getting close to the 20th century!
No arguments from me. When can we start?
You just need to learn Ode to Joy off by heart, and leave all your “cheese” at the border
Moving the goal posts 😥
Yeah American Cheese the product is some crazy shit. You should try some artisan cheese from Wisconsin, though. World class stuff over there. I had a 15 year cave aged cheddar from there once and I’m still thinking about it to this day.
Excuse me. It’s American cheese food product to you. You uncultured… I mean it uncultured…

activates vpn why yes, I AM a citizen of the EU!
WhatsApp is my major concern . It’s a BIG issue that every one in Americas and Europe uses that shit. Very concerning.
or Messenger
Another nasty one
It’s a way smaller userbase, but imagine what Facebook does with the Quest headsets
Ready player one about covers it
Can’t wait for all the weird VR sex stuff that’s in the book lol
You CAN opt out of using anything Meta offers. Just don’t use that abusive corporate crap!
The fact that they really want to disrespect your privacy, scrape every last morsel of anything they can get there grubby mits on for serving you ads, and feed you altered propaganda and shit that they think you should see says volumes about you if you allow them to do that to you. It says a lot about the Australian government too then. Here’s EU taking these greedy corporate monsters to task while Australia is talking about giving them EVEN MORE personal information by trying to enforce ineffective faulty age verification with biometric government issued ID on social media. Just walk away.
there’s shadow profiles, they track you even if you never go on Facebook.com.
Public posts only… Not private posts. Honestly, if you ever post anything publicly on the internet (on any site, including here on Lemmy), you should assume it’s going to be used for all sorts of things.
I have no doubt that Lemmy posts are part of the data being ingested into AI training. Lemmy and other Fediverse apps are extremely easy to scrape since anyone can subscribe to a Lemmy community, Mastodon account, etc with ActivityPub and get all new posts and comments pushed to them. Don’t even have to actually scrape anything.
This is why i done use meta shit. Among other reasons.
Meta don’t scrape user data…they already have it stored neatly in databases with supporting APIs
I mean, Australians won’t care a lot after Europeans have scraped their continent
Oh, look, a news headline from five years ago
False. Everyone can opt out of Facebook.
No, you can’t. They collect your data even if you’ve never had an account, or if you’ve deleted your account.
False. They’ll track whether you have an account or not. Even NoScript won’t completely disable their tracking. If you use the web, Meta is watching you.
Joke’s on them. I go to all those weird porn sites just so they won’t know the real me. I would never be interested in such filth. It’s so that their A.I. will get confused, get hoodwinked. Yup. That’s why I do that.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I must go mess up their algorithm again.
