“We don’t vaccinate in this group. It’s the foundation of becoming a crunchy mom.”

Facebook pulled back on moderation after Trump’s election, and The Guardian reports on one of the groups that benefited, a popular health-misinformation-filled community called Crunchy Moms:

Another Crunchy Moms member, Emily Loving-Rodriguez, said she had made dozens of reports to Facebook, and possibly hundreds, since she joined earlier this year. The Idaho resident has a personal interest in child welfare and misinformation, and noted a post she had seen recently in Crunchy Moms where someone said herpes could be cured with the dietary supplement zeolite. She said her reports rarely had any effect.

Functionally it’s the same as a standard Tamagotchi, but you’ll have to get used to raising your pet in the simulated upside down world when it launches next February for around $20.

Meta is delaying its controversial new business terms indefinitely.

The new terms had come under scrutiny over language that appeared to give Meta broad leeway to train AI on scraped publisher content, even after the company updated them.

Meta said last week it expected to delay implementation past November 20th (which itself was a delayed date). Now, Meta states on its website that the new terms “will not take effect on November 20, 2026,” as reported by Nieman Lab.
