Deleting everything Meta had such a positive effect on my life.
But did you instruct them, to delete everything on you?
i never willingly gave them anything, and never had an account, but i’m sure they have a ton of data anyway despite always using ad and tracker blockers everywhere, and never having a device with their apps… just from mentions and tags on peoples’ pages and what they can assemble from that and other data they get their mitts on.
A lot of phone apps also have facebook trackers built in
i have a flipper, there are no ‘apps’. i don’t even text on it.
God, I’m glad I am able to not give a fuck about this.
When it was shown that Zuck was actively undermining American Democracy, without care for consequence, I deleted my Facebook account, have never used it’s messenger, don’t Insta or META anything ever. Same with Twitter, I mean, why would you choose to contribute anything to these monsters … so you can stay in touch with high school friends you never chat, call or speak to?
I think the problem is much deeper than Facebook…
And just to be clear, the issue is completely bipartisan
Lol what? Actively Undermining American Democracy? I have to see the source for this.
Google “Cambridge Analytica”
That was an org that trump paid to do what facebook has been doing on their own for over a decade to push politicians that help prop up it’s business.
“Amusingly”, people were all up in arms about election interference and bypassing election advertising rules all up until they realized their own preferred politicians had been doing the same thing extensively even back in the obama era.
People got real quiet about it after that, but facebook is quite clearly the greatest election manipulation machine ever created or conceived by mankind. Other social networks are close behind.
Sure but Cambridge Analytica isn’t “anti-democracy” or whatever anymore then political ads are.
You should really learn more about it before deciding that you have an expert opinion on it.
An AI trained with the things people wrote on Facebook and Insta? Wtf, hilarious.
I’ve always wanted an AI that yells at me like my uncle on thanksgiving
Not surprising in the least
Just a goofy theory but I’m thinking the (coming) trillionaires just want real-enough “humans” who take up a lot less space & resources for whatever post-climate-genocide world they’ll construct & pretend they “saved” humanity. AI-generated non-people will be good enough for them: they can’t stand the real thing.
They’ve unleashed the storm, they’re buying their expensive bunkers, & they’ll have far fewer of us to deal with when they creep back out after.
Or maybe they’ll pass laws that let everyone’s AI doppelgängers spend their money for them! Goofy theories.
I mean, that IS how they think 🤷♂️
Or, and that’s gonna sound like a crazy theory - they just think, they can make money off of whatever they’re building.
Look at the track record of Zuckerberg. He’s not a visionary, he just has visions. He’s a manchild who never heard no or criticism. There is no convoluted long term plan. There are just erratic pipedreams that are sold as grand projects for marketing reasons.
I know, I’m all writing a bad sci fi premise over here. Probably shouldn’t contribute to whatever they are building
Took 'em long enough, ami right?
