"The FAFSA form included code that sent personal information back to Facebook ..." Via Leona Ungerer

Two things are true. First: " Facebook makes money, in other words, by profiling us and then selling our attention to advertisers, political actors and others. These are Facebook’s true customers, whom it works hard to please." And second, "the same is true for the Times, along with every other publication that lives off adtech: tracking-based advertising." He then backs up this assertion with a detailed description of the tracking tools employed by news websites. Don't think for a minute that education is immune from this. You can't see the tracking tools in an LMS because the LMS is the tracking tool. Nothing prevents your educational institution (or the LMS vendor, if it's in the cloud) from packaging and selling detailed student data. Which means, most likely, that this is exactly what's happening. Via Miloš Bajčetić

I have from the beginning days of this newsletter been using the experience of traditional media as a touchstone on which to base my predictions for the learning and development sector. And I have also been saying that educational providers will one day face an overnight crisis that was 20 years in the making. The "armageddon" facing traditional news media serves as our guide. If you think about it, the threat to news media from social networks came out of nowhere. At the same time, social networks represent the most recent iteration of a movement that began with personal web pages and blogs. people still don't believe it, but traditional learning providers will be faces with a similar existential crisis. It will seem to have come from nowhere and be from a completely unexpected source. And the signs will have been there for 20 years. Via Miloš Bajčetić

Facebook recently announced a seismic development in how it views the ways we connect and socialise online, with its new corporate name evolving to ‘Meta’. This is significant because of what Meta represents – Facebook’s ambition to provide people with access to the metaverse. The company has identified the shift from traditional timelines and grids to new, richer 3D worlds. Facebook – that is, the social networking app as we know it – will continue to exist as part of the Meta ecosystem, bringing all the company’s apps and technologies under one brand. But the new name reflects bigger ambitions. Andrew ‘Boz’ Bosworth, the soon-to-be CTO of Meta, hosted an IG AMA with a few tidbits. He explained that you will not need expensive VR gear to participate in Meta. It’s a centralised platform which most people will experience with their phones (or lower fidelity devices), just like you can with Roblox and Fortnite. Via Oskar Almazan

Meta isn’t just for socialising – how we work and educate ourselves is also central to the platform. So much so, in fact, that Boz believes the digital economy will eventually grow to be larger than the physical economy.

Es probable que muchos adultos no le den importancia, acostumbrados a que los niños usen las redes sociales como ellos. Pero en España hay una edad mínima legal. Via Oskar Almazan

Hace unos meses un informe de Kaspersky Lab recogía que el 35% de los niños españoles afirma no querer estar sin redes sociales. Para ellos estas plataformas son un lugar amigable y seguro, donde se interrelacionan con sus amigos, y en el que comparten aspectos de su vida privada prácticamente sin filtro (su colegio, los lugares que visitan e incluso dónde viven). Este tipo de comportamientos son contraproducentes para la privacidad y la seguridad del menor, porque puede darle información delicada a alguien con malas intenciones.
