Meta doing the thing where siblings in the backseat of an extended road trip and one is tormenting the other by hitting/pinching/poking, and the tormented child complains their sibling won’t stop touching them, and the parent says “stop touching your sibling” and so the tormenting child just holds their finger like half an inch away while the bullied child starts crying “stop it!” but the bully child just goes, “I’m not touching you! I’m not touching you”
Except the bullied child is human rights and privacy advocates, and the parents (governmental regulatory bodies) are driving drunk and high on cocaine, blasting Stranglehold by Ted Nugent screaming, laughing, headed straight toward a brick wall
Would I hit a guy with meta glasses, you ask?
No, of course not… I’d hit him with a baseball bat instead.
If you wear those you’re a PoS
Recognized faces will trigger notifications, while the rest are cropped, indexed, and saved to a folder marked “pending.”
When people tell you who they are, believe them! Delete Facebook/Instagram.
I mean, yes, I agree - don’t use them - but this is less an issue of stopping using Meta and more about worrying about who around you is. With this tech, you don’t need to be a Meta user, you’ll still be captured, stored, tracked and sold.
more about worrying about who around you is
There are apps to inform you of people around you wearing these creepy things. One is called “Nearby Glasses”
Zuckerberg: Yeah so if you ever need info about anyone at Harvard
Zuckerberg: Just ask
Zuckerberg: I have over 4,000 emails, pictures, addresses, SNS
[Redacted Friend’s Name]: What? How’d you manage that one?
Zuckerberg: People just submitted it.
Zuckerberg: I don’t know why.
Zuckerberg: They “trust me”
Zuckerberg: Dumb fucks
Hello, i am a Nigerian prince and i have a vast sum of money that i need to move, but i need your banking info to complete the transaction. For your help, you will receive 10,000 monies. Please hurry before this great opportunity is passed.
Oh! Mr prince, I apologize for not answering your email earlier, how can I send you my banking info?
Delete Facebook/Instagram.
This is actually a terrible idea - which I unfortunately used to ascribe to. Turns out that now all communications regarding the town I live in only happens through Facebook and WhatsApp - so when we get extended water and electricity cuts, guess who gets to be left out of the loop?
All the “clever” people who deleted Facebook and WhatsApp - that’s who.
Sounds like you need to talk to your city
Yeah… I’m sure they’ll stop dismantling what’s left of our public infrastructure because I told them to. It’s not like austerity is government policy over here or anything.
Guess I don’t need to know then.
I’ve never even been to the Facebook website. It’s been blocked on all my systems for a decade.
Just zuck trying to do ‘snow crash’ again.
Please don’t post links with all that tracking shit still attached.
Thank you. Posting an article with a url that still has all the tracking garbage in it especially to a privacy comm should be a temp-bannable offense imo.
You are welcome.
