I’m not surprised at all, income data is really useful when doing targeted advertising. This kind of sale should be illegal of course, because our tax data should be sensitive in the same legal or medical data is, but I don’t think Meta’s going to see any consequences for this.
It’s because they claim that they don’t actually do any deliveries, they just maintain the tech platform that connects independent contractors to delivery jobs. They do this for legal reasons, because if you think about it all jobs technically just connect people to tasks that they complete.
Threads is new but not novel. It’s essentially just Meta Twitter and is using Facebook and Instagram to give it automatic momentum.
Indeed, no one has heard anything yet. It’s very strange, I hope the VLemmy admin is ok.
That’s really cool. This is a good use-case example of Mastadon, the government can run its own official instance for announcements and information without impacting other instances
It could also be that they never implemented custom emoticons, which are what caused the security issue. Even still, I would recommend confirming with your server admin.
I think it was 15 or 16 in the days before it fell.
The sudden death of VLemmy and temporary closing of lemmy.world pushed a bunch of people here I think.
Tech enthusiasts tend to make up the early adopters of a new social media platform, and programmers tend to have some level of passion for technology.
Deeply unfortunate that something like this could happen, you always hope that code injection vulnerabilities are found before someone is hacked. With that in mind, this shows the importance of two security principles: always parse and clean user input and don’t click links (including images) before checking where they are going to send you.

Hopefully, something will come up soon about what happened to it. It’s a definite shame that it dropped so quickly, it’s been a really good instance up to this point.
Good bot. These links are more useful, it’s good to try and get people in the habit of using them.
I remember earlier today the admin made an announcement post about defederating from burgitt.moe and purging their illicit material from the servers, in order to stay in compliance with Irish law. It’s possible that’s what the downtime is for, but I’m not sure.
Yeah, that tip is applicable for a lot of people who understand what sex is, this isn’t something that really goes away with age in a lot of cases.
