Meta and Amazon scale back diversity initiatives... And what about WhatsApp

 

Meta and Amazon scale back diversity initiatives

Well now anyone of a diversity different to White straight Male should consider boycotting  "Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp"

The argument for Farcebonk and Whatapp go back a lot further of course. In 2021 a huge backlash and much downloading of other apps (even encouraged by Musk at the time) created an apology from Meta about the way they had explained their TandC changes then

"The phrasing of the warning in the initial push led to widespread fears that it was going to share large amounts of WhatsApp data with Facebook." 

And the BBC article said "In reality, very little had changed in that area - and almost all users had previously accepted the type of data sharing involved." 

And a lot of folk said that they understood that the EU Law stopped a lot of what Whatapp/Meta were going to do and it only really applied in the US...

Well of course we had left the EU but a lot of the law remains ... but for how long? With the noises the Government keeps making towards the US I doubt the UK will be protecting anyone in a way Trump doesn't like for long! You know that ..."person" that's besties with all the Tech Billionaires.
