You just have to make a post on your Facebook profile saying that you don’t consent and that you retain all rights. Bonus points for working in some sovcit stuff.
Those adorable baby photos you posted for your friends and family? Sorry, they’re Meta’s now.
You literally gave them to Meta. You uploaded them to Meta after agreeing to Meta’s terms of service, which essentially say “we can do what we want with the stuff you give us.” Big Bad Meta isn’t sneaking into your houses and stealing photos off of your nightstand, they’re not “seizing” anything.
Also, Meta’s AI “pipe dream” has so far been very successful. Their open-source libraries and LLaMA models have become industry standards. Their future work is likely to be productive.
Yeah it’s really wild the way everyone keeps trying to say that Meta is failing and falling apart or whatever. Meta’s doing better than it’s ever been.
Social media loves to have targets that “everyone agrees” are terrible and worthy of hating. Being part of a righteously angry mob is fun, gives a nice safe dopamine hit and lets you show you are part of the in-group.
Which isn’t to say that Meta is innocent and Zuckerberg is a poor victim, of course. But it does mean that it’s very easy to go overboard and believe false accusations that also fit with the narrative that Meta is terrible and awful and evil. There was a post a couple of weeks ago about Threads and the narrative in that conversation was that Meta was dedicated to eradicating open source (Embrace Extend Extinguish, think of XMPP!). I tried pointing out Meta’s many contributions to open source but redirecting the mob was hopeless. Sure, the motives of these contributions are selfish. They want to crush their enemies. But in this case their enemies are OpenAI and Microsoft, and the weapon they’re using is to fling open the walled gardens OpenAI depends on for the common man to enjoy.
It’s a useful cautionary tale to keep in mind whenever there’s a target that everyone around you hates because they’re “obviously” the devil. Maybe they are, but it’s likely more complicated than it seems.
Somehow people still don’t understand when a service is free. You’re the product
He says, on a free service.
I make a monthly donation to the folks running mastodon.world (they also run lemmy.world). Yeah it’s free but you can and should contribute sometimes to keep it that way.
It’s like watching a rerun of “everything Blockchain”
Oh no not my fb and insta.
Oh wait. I don’t have that trash.
Carry on
Congrats, Lemmy is usually a vocal critic against those that “only care about issues when they affect them personally” but you managed to get upvotes.
I am not holding it against you, bias is human but it is something some of us should reflect about.
The people still back on the matrix major platforms still do things that affect you indirectly like voting, buying things that shape everyone’s market, or having their cognitive biases explored, listed and exploited in ways that yours may also be by pr firms.
Theses usually a variation of this that makes it to all once a week.

your reasoning does fit the spitit of this list. You dont care because its not your data.To be clear, i am not faulting you for having that opinion even while i personally disagree, i am trying to speak out about a rather noticeable case of double standards within the community.
