‘I made Steve Bannon’s psychological warfare tool’: meet the data war whistleblower
https://www.theguardian.com/news…Facebook’s Surveillance Machine
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/03/…- Feels like the right time to delete fb and begin to stand up against obtrusive data collection.instrmntl
- I wonder if it isn't already too late. FB, Tw, IG, G+, LinkedIn ... all these social networks we've signed up to for years, and all of that data stored.Continuity
- When I click 'Delete' on one of these things, I don't trust that my data will actually be deleted.Continuity
- It most likely will not be deleted, but at least it will stop you from continually sharing info, and maybe can legally stop them from browser tracking you.instrmntl
- This pink haired dude is really making himself a target. Like he goes supermarket, anyone seeing the news this week will recognise him. Why pink hair?shapesalad
- The chemicals in hair dye are carcinogenic and really toxic, if anything it'll increase his chance of going grey/bald.shapesalad
- almost all sites use trackers like google analytics that collect data about users. this means google knows almost everything about you.pablo28

- maybe he just died his hair pink for the interviews.err

- Don Lemon interviewed him on CNN last night. He is the WORST interview in human history. I just hope someone will corroborate him because he's not credible.CyBrainX
- The pink dude doesn't reveal how it's done, he's really just spreading his pink hair philosophy.robotron3k

- If you ask the App politely not to track, can they still 'Yeah right we are still going to track you" ?instrmntl
- BTW, this is not a Facebook app thing; this is a new Apple alertKrassy
- 'help keep facebook free of charge!' I call your bluff! Charge me bitch.hotroddy
- @instr no, it's basically game over for them, they can't access your device id so they don't know you anymoregrafician
- You have this option even before update 14.5, but with this new update Apple made it "final" so from now on, no more tracking if you Ask app not to trackgrafician
- most other apps track using Facebook SDK or Google Ads api or something, so this option will hurt Facebook and Google a lot.grafician
- You're going to notice this alert every time you open an app.CyBrainX

I dont use Facebook a lot so I dont know since when they implemented this, but every 5ish post, they put a post with the mention "Similar to publications you responded to" ... SO ANNOYING! They put thing I dont give a shit of... No wonder so many people are letting Facebook go.
- I’ve never seen that before.monospaced
- i'm getting them every 5-6 posts.Bennn
- FUCK ZUCK!
FUCK ZUCK!
FUCK ZUCK!
FUCK ZUCK!utopian - They keep force feeding me hockey related posts... I DONT GIVE A SHIT ABOUT HOCKEY! I NEVER HAD!Bennn
- and other topics, not just hockey.Bennn
- are they similar to things you responded to? hahamonospaced
- So why are you on Facebook? Just leave it dude. I feel like this is your once-a-month post. Use email or your phone to talk to family :)lvl_13
- its just on the desktop version, on the phone app, its just ads every 5-6 posts like instagram. Desktop its ads AND unwanted content.Bennn
- yeah lvl13, i repeat myself, its a sign im getting old :)Bennn

couple random thoughts:
1. if the left / poor / mad at the rich really wanted to fire a warning shot (which brexit / trump already have done on the right), a mass deletion of facebook at once would be a good start. it wouldn't even have to be a permanent delete - if millions of active accounts left one night, the stock the next morning would crash. the vulnerability of the company would be exposed, allowing for consumer empowerment regarding privacy issues.
2. social media is the new fast food. facebook is mcdonalds and the rest sort it out, but it really is. it's complete junk whose main customers are just short of addicted. it provides no value, temporary and empty highs, and makes you feel like shit after using it.
in the future, "big brother" will be associated with "factory farming" (some will care, some will not); but it will provide for the same infrastructure of capitalism, where regional and local social media groups will form (using "local coders") with degrees of privacy being considered the way degrees of health are now in the quick-eats biz.
- also "billions served" on mcdonalds sign="hundreds of millions of users" for FBcolin_s
- Why delete? Social media are actively supporting communism and banning alternate points if view.Hayoth
- Seems like a good partner for the totalitarian left.Hayoth
- social media provides no value? it's taken down dictatorial regimes for crying out loud.hotroddy
- social media is a decentralized way of getting information out to the masses.hotroddy
- @hotroddy it's something that could be done in many different ways - what i see now is not an ideal, though instant communication yes, is goodcolin_s
- You do realize Facebook has billions of users right? Not hundreds of millions.noRGB

That time Facebook paid 13 year-olds $20 a month to replace the root certificate on their phone, and to collect EVERYTHING the phone does. Which lead to their iOS enterprise developer license being revoked by Apple for abuse.

Facebook is also killing Instagram slowly but surely.
Instagram is probably the worst social media for the humans brain.
I personally like it because my pictures get viewed over there and dont sleep on an unknown web page and there's good inspiration to find. But the game people are playing over there is unhealthy. 95% of the time when someone LIKE your pictures or follows you is to get you to follow/like them back, same thing for all the generic souless comments... How many teens dream to be an 'influencer' ? So many fake souless shit over there.
- How is Facebook killing Instagram? They own it.monospaced
- exactly. They're killing themselves.Bennn

- instagram isnt just twerking and duckface lol, it's great if you follow accounts you are actually interested in. by far the best promo tool on social media asfadein11
- well. my partner runs a kids clothing brand and insta has grown it massively. huge community of like minded people/businesses who all help each other out.fadein11
