Look, most of us here know that meta is a terrible company that has done terrible things. But what is actually being done about it? So far just some token fines and petty wrist slaps. What’s really the plan here? Because they’re not going to stop.
So much of this audience already knows the job
is to collect comprehensive analytics and never run the analyses on your product’s externalities.
to be obvious enough to downplay, it must be impossible to miss while looking the other way. To be impossible to miss, it must be inextricably linked to the profits.
Another report. Sadly nothing will come out of it. 5 years down the line there will be another smoking gun, accusing Meta of selling DNA data to advertisers illegally. Nada. Nothing will happen.
I mean, duh. They’re this generation’s cigarettes. Employees of Meta should be ashamed of themselves.

Social media is going to be seen to future generations the way we currently see tobacco and alcohol. Look at what social media has done to the wellbeing of teen girls. There's been a dramatic decline in the mental health of teen girls. All those filters, OF fans, stars with eating disorders (just look at the Wicked cast), is literally killing teen girls with social anxiety.
we'll milk teens like cows and we can't wait to stuff them into tiny little boxes, hooked up to and logged into our VR worlds where we serve all their needs while they serve ours. nothing sexual, there's places for that and we're not the types. we monitor our employees closely and can say that with certainty.
the current phase of social media is basically the scraping of minds. we throw hundreds of thousands of narrowly defined contexts at them, in different states and in between them. our systems learn, assimilate, adapt.
the world is going up in flames. we didn't do that. and we'd try to change it but we have a lot of data. it can't be done.
we've seen the good, the bad and the ugly. and we don't drink cheap milk. the food of the cows we get our milk from costs more than the compounded wealth of all graduates of an average European university at the end of their 30s and the health of the cows we get our milk from is better monitored, too. all for one glass of milk.
my first sentence was a provocation.
your teens will be fine. worry about their environment, not us. we know we lie in court. and you know why. because they kindly ask us to. they have friends and friends of friends who have been up our asses from day one. you think we know a lot? your intelligence services know a lot more. your local administrations and teachers conspire against your teens more often than you would like to know. some guys in your police likely know, too. as do your journalists and TV channels. it's more or less on a need to know, serve to know basis.
you think big tech is the threat? think again.
A/N: mostly gibberish, since I have no idea what I'm talking about but you're all wielding advanced tools and you're networked. you get it. I could kindly ask you to stop babbling. but without leverage nobody benefits.

At this point nothing surprises me from Meta.

Every tech company is harming the public for profits.
You won't want to miss this breaking story - water is wet.

Yep. You can engage in sexually trafficking people 16 times with a warning. 17th is just too much dude.
What sort of a deranged psychopath comes up with these rules?
