This reminds me of conversation with my know-it-all nephew circa 2010.
I said #Facebook shows complete disregard for user #privacy. He disagreed. I cited example that when Facebook added share articles you read, it was turned on by default. He cited he liked Facebook.
"'I saw a video where a man puts the glasses on the bedside table and leaves the room. Shortly afterwards, his wife comes in and changes her clothes,' an anonymous Sama employee reportedly said, per the machine translation."
This morning I noticed unusually high Facebook uploads on my UniFi dashboard. No one in my household actively posts, just browsing.
Tracked it to my wife’s iPhone: ~3.75GB uploaded in 24h, including overnight. Upload spikes started around 11pm (while scrolling) and continued while she slept.
Facebook has no photo library access, but background app refresh was enabled (now disabled).
Should I be concerned?

Out of habit, I still read and comment way too much on #facebook. All my 'friends' and information are there.
I'm going to try to upload something here every day, photos of Uli, with #galgo tags because Galgos are my thing. Trying to create a bit of #mastodon life for myself.
