FTA: "10% of Meta's gross revenue comes from ads for fraudulent goods and scams, and; the company knows it, and; they decided not to do anything about it, because; the fines for facilitating this life-destroying fraud are far less than the expected revenue from helping to destroy its users' lives"

Oh for sure, though seeing the number of revenue in the article is just startling. Did you see the documentary The Social Dilemma?

There is just no end to their evil.

The YouTube algorithm really has me nailed as an anti-algorithm kind of person. Thanks algorithm!

In reasons to #DeleteFacebook: email just came in about a "privacy update." Basically, they're using your interactions to train #AISlop. (I can't quite delete mine due to library's page for outreach-- *sigh*)

I deleted #Facebook nearly two years ago for the reasons in this ABC article: no control over what I saw and a completely cooked algorithm.

I did try deleting and recreating my account in 2023, and the suggested content on the new account was almost disturbing. Mostly right wing propaganda and soft porn. I deleted my account shortly thereafter.

It hasn't been perfect, especially with most of my contacts frequenting Messenger, but I also can't say I would go back to it.

I tried to outsmart the social media algorithm. Here's how it outsmarted me

Armed with a burner phone and a fake name, I set out to learn how Instagram’s algorithm really works. This is what happened next.
