Seriously, #Facebook abusing their #users as #AI #sources and maximizing #DarkPatterns is not coincidential, and I wounder how people who don't have or want a Facebook account can actually object against that shit or #ShadowProfiles without #SelfDoxxing and gambling on #StasiBook having good vibes that day...

@adisonverlice it's a wordplay on #Facebook being complicit with the #NSA and acting as modern day #Stasi (aka. #StasiBook / #NSAbook) by turning it's users into unpaid "ubofficial emplyees" that snitch on their contacts (see the illegal data collection of non-users aka. "#ShadowProfiles")…

@lauren @mattblaze @not2b not only that but #NSAbook / #StasiBook (lets be honest and not allow them to make us ignore their vital contributions to #PRISM among other #Enshittification|s!) have legally unacceptable Terms they force upon,others, they don't respect the concept of #consent or refusal to provide it (see their illegal "#ShadowProfiles") and they're platforming illegal #hatespeech...

That alone are solid reasons why I can't and won't use them even if I wanted to...

@edasfr @FdC En fait la grosse différence, c'est que par défaut, #Meta crée dans ses produits des #ShadowProfiles de tous les utilisateurs externes dont il a connaissance.

Wait - does this mean Meta has finally got proper #AccountDeletion on it's platform?

Does that mean #Zuckerberg has given up on #shadowprofiles?

One issue with #Meta joining eventually the #fediverse with #threads is them creating #ShadowProfiles of #fediverse users they would see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadow_profile Thus they would structurally be collecting more #PersonalData then a regular fedi app does, such as identifying and storing potential friends of those shadow profiles
