      Don’t blame the people for being psychologically manipulated by revenue and shareholder profits. Never blame people for mass marketing psychological manipulation practices.

      I never started. From the beginning, I thought that posting ALL your personal info on a website was a profoundly STUPID thing to do.

      So I registered my name, just so nobody else could, but I’ve never posted a single thing on it, and never will.

      I have a lot of college and HS friends on thier. I like to follow thier lives, but I don’t live anywhere near them. I dislike it greatly. But it is impossible to expect them all to move to a less worse platform. Of course, I don’t click on ads, or follow random people… I don’t even have it on my phone. But they sure do splash images if hot chicks as often as they can. Shows how desperate they are. Oh, and I rarely post anything. Guess I am kind of a leech.

    This is why Facebook is so dangerous. If you really want to give up your own privacy that much, go for it. But when you post pictures with other people in it, or talk about them with your friends/family, you’re giving up their privacy too. And they don’t get a choice about it.

      Kind of sounds like you’re making excuses for Meta and for pedophiles at the same time.

          Neither. Your comment blamed parents but not Meta. It also talked about “men on the internet” as if they can be expected, as a normal man thing, to be into photos of kids. The concern is not men in general but pedophiles. And the responsibility is not just with parents but with Meta.

            Sorry but this is just hilarious. Stupid parents mindlessly posted picture of their children on the internet and are now outraged that someone dared to look at them in a way they didn’t expect. Is the picture sexual or not? If not, who cares how some guy looks at it. If yes, why would parents post them? I know, let’s insert some imagined pedophiles into this story so we can justify our rage.

              Stupid parents

              Idgaf how stupid their parents are, kids should be protected from being fucking pimped out to sell meta’s brainwashing trash

              Is the picture sexual or not?

              Give me a break, if we know fucking anything about human sexuality its that different people get aroused by different shit, and sometimes they get aroused by shit they shouldn’t, like children

              who cares how some guy looks at it

              It feels worth noting here that what actually happened is a single 37 year old dude took it upon himself to call a newspaper and say “yo, Facebook is shoving a bunch of schoolgirls pictures in my face, no boys, just girls, like I think they expect me to be into it, and that feels wrong.” There was no creepy man in this story, the only creep here was the algorithm.

    I was about to say, it’s normal for meta. But then I read they made private posts public on the other platform.

    No, just no. No excuse for that at all.

      Ah, they made it private on Facebook, but not on Threads. Which they didn’t know it was also being posted to, but that’s by-the-by.
