Macht #TikTok uns absichtlich #süchtig? Die #EU Kommission wirft TikTok vor, mit Funktionen wie #EndlosScrollen, #Autoplay und #personalisiert|en Empfehlungen gegen den #DSA zu verstoßen.
Dr. Anna Lembke, an #addictionmedicine expert, testified in a #landmarktrial against #Meta and #YouTube: She argued that #socialmedia platforms are #inherentlyaddictive for #teenagers due to design features like #autoplay and #endlessscrolling, which exploit their developing brains. https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-news/google-meta-trial-social-media-addiction-opening-statements-1235514395/?eicker.news #tech #media #news

Autoplay is een handige functie voor Apple Music. Je hoeft hiermee nooit meer zelf de volgende nummers uit te zoeken. Eén nummer afspelen en klaar: zo werkt het.
#NewYorkState will require #socialmedia platforms to display #warninglabels about potential harm to young users’ #mentalhealth when users interact with features deemed addictive. The law, signed by Governor Hochul, applies to platforms with #infinitescrolling, #autoplay, #likecounts, or #algorithmicfeeds. https://www.engadget.com/social-media/new-york-state-will-require-warning-labels-on-social-media-platforms-210306716.html?eicker.news #tech #media #news

I've been mostly happy with Apple Music's Autoplay feature when it comes on, but a few days ago it completely f*cked up because the best it could do for "similar music" was play tunes by someone with the same name as a person I'd been listening to. Well, marimba classical music is NOT the same as country easy listening. Same name, not same music. Can't Apple tell the difference? #AppleMusic #autoplay #AISlop #music
YouTube has done the impossible by creating a feature that combines the annoyance of unmuted #autoplay videos with the charm of a malfunctioning Speak & Spell 🎤🤖. Users are trapped in an endless loop of robotic nonsense that makes you long for the simplicity of dial-up internet. 🚫🔊

Wann ist das denn passiert?
Wieso zappeln animated Emojis jetzt dauerhaft, statt nur, wenn ich mit der Maus über den Post gehe???
ICH WILL DAS NICHT!!!
Ich habe nichts an den Einstellungen geändert; da ist immer noch autoplay = off. (erweiterte Ansicht)
@krutonium yeah, the only way I don't get #hatespeech served as "recommendation" if not literally #AutoPlay is by using #invidious all day long!
Posting in case this helps someone else.
For the last month or two, I've had problems visiting some sites with #Firefox. The sites use #Cloudflare, and it would give the "prove you're a human by checking this box" prompt. I'd never had problems with this before.
Suddenly that started failing consistently. Clicking the box would do something, but then just reload the challenge. There was no way to pass it. I tried reconfiguring and even disabling the "uBlock Origin" extension, cookie policies, other things - no luck.
Based on a comment on this discussion:
https://ask.metafilter.com/385480/fixing-Verify-You-Are-A-Human-Firefox-cookies-UBlock-Origin
... I tried disabling the "Disable HTML5 Autoplay" extension, and ... fixed! That was *not* an obvious candidate for causing the problem, unlike adblockers etc.
So it appears Cloudflare changed their in-browser testing JS such that it requires HTML5 autoplay to pass the check. Which is ... special. I can think of lots of people with very good reasons to have that disabled.
Anyways, I hope this helps someone.

@AmenZwa also I think a lot.of #WebDevs need to stop showing off and instead start building unique, sleek & privacy-respecting sites...
Ars Technica: “Awful”: Roku tests autoplaying ads loading before the home screen. “Owners of smart TVs and streaming sticks running Roku OS are already subject to video advertisements on the home screen. Now, Roku is testing what it might look like if it took things a step further and forced people to watch a video ad play before getting to the Roku OS home screen.”
Nothing is as awful as auto-play when you're trying to find your headphones and suddenly realize a video is playing! Or when you don't know the volume of the speakers is turned up. But the real shame is when a 3-hour video plays, and you weren't even there to watch it. I'm not gonna name a company like #Google or #Meta. #baddesign #autoplay #AutoplayVideos #shameonyou
