#Meta says it will resume AI training with public content from European users Also reported on the IrishExaminer!

Meta said it will start notifying users in the EU about the training, and will include a link to a form where they can object at any time. “We’ll honour all objection forms,” the company said. No need to wait, it is possible to opt out now, but I think you need to do it on each platform.

How Meta uses information for generative AI models and features

You can submit an objection request through your Facebook, Instagram or Meta account. Your objection will be applied to the account that you're logged in to and any accounts that you've added to the same Accounts Centre.

Yet to find a link for threads, and they say they don't scrape private messages, so no need for messenger?

Threads maybe be covered by Instagram?

Using skyfeed.app and the below list as input. https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:e4elbtctnfqocyfcml6h2lf7/lists/3l53cjwlt4o2s

Github page with the above!

If you were reliant on it? Are you think that method is to public.

You could create your own feed with skyfeed.app using your own specific string of characters instead.

The two emojis that work on their own in regex are: - 📌 & 🔖

I have setup my own feed that searches just my own accounts. Example of the fields needed on skyfeed are: -

Bluesky Post with the above

I have update my own regex to contain the following:-

📌|🔖|ⓘforme:|Note!🔖

So you could possibly use your own keywords for not so public declaration that your bookmarking a post.

My feed in operation, only showing my accounts.

Pretty new to Lemmy, so don't know if people look for Bluesky support on this? The content which I have posted a few times on Bluesky got re posted today. So I thought I would try post here as well.

One of my favourite methods is kyst.app has a DM method and webpage to see the bookmarks so cross device support. For private DM's to an alt, and I still use the 📌/ 🔖 method.

#Bookmarks ~ Known Methods

What is people views on the latest stream of content under 'Clarity' category from RTE?

The linked title from yesterday!

So a new Prime Time article to get the 'Clarity' categorization! A long drawn out article which had me more confused at what they are trying clarify to An Irish (or diaspora) audience. I get there are Irish people involved in the peacekeeper missions.

Main takeaway from it for me is the usual attack on social media and disinformation. ~~ "information war" ~~

Tried to get a summary from www.perplexity.ai but it couldn't scan or read the article, probably robots.txt blocking it!

So asked a full up question on the subject and got below summary: -

In summary, social media serves as a potent tool for spreading disinformation against UN troops, complicating their missions and threatening their safety. The UN is actively working to address these challenges through innovative counter-disinformation strategies.
