Is that real, or a joke? It's almost like that stunt Signal pulled with the ads they made to expose how much Facebook knows and uses about people. Maybe Facebook figured that the cat's out of the bag so they just run with it now.
Could also be part of a strategy to gradually make people think "it's actually good that Facebook knows everything about me, then Facebook can help me in so many nice ways like this".
Are you planning a Bank Job? You said something in your post about taking the banks money (See our data policy). Let your local Police force share your plans.
You can't see if you have Dollar-Signs in your eyes. They hurt your view to usefull stuff. Also, i bet my used underwear everyone at Facebook is creepy by nature. why should they work there then?
Back then my spouse and I went to get rings, she posted a photo of just her left hand wearing an engagement ring, in lieu of an announcement. Facebook showed that post to absolutely everyone and her adverts all changed to wedding stuff. Either the comments or photo AI told them exactly what was happening.
It's what EVERYONE on Facebook signed up for, to be a captive audience. Who's ever heard of walking through a car showroom and being surprised when someone tries to sell them something?
To be fair they also advertised adult diapers to me, and when I told it to not show that one of the potential reasons to decline those ads was "Knows too much."
Pretty sure that pointing stuff like that out is how you get fired from FB. Or at least marked as first one to be blamed if any kind of whistleblowing happens.
Facebook is very, very creepy and we've known that years. And for those that forget it, there are some scandals and investigations every year. So the real question is: what the f*** are people still doing on Facebook?
People aren't lemmings, right? I am the living prove that the world keeps turning once you leave Facebook, and that you can still lead a happy, fulfilling life without WhatsApp.
I think we have a kind of digital gap. But this time it's not about internet access or not. It's about volunteerly feeding greedy data-sucking companies or choosing liberty and privacy.
Someone who stands up and says that gets fired, and then there's one less to do so for the next creepy feature. There've been so many creepy features that this process has reached its natural conclusion.
it would have been nice to receive some donations. Instead, I received ads for houses. I recently got married. But yes, social media has become less social and more spy/sell media.
It is not only that, but for every event. It started by birthdays and little by little comme to that.
Try expecting a child, looking about it and then loosing it, FB won't detect the last and even set a secret "birth" alarm. Many months after, FB will throw it at your face without remorse.
If it can prove FB just don't care.... And neither FB engineers. Perhaps they like the technical prowess, and not only the money, but nothing about good for anybody. Sh*tty people doing sh*tty things.
(We are okay now, if this story can help anybody quitting, it's still that ^^)
