- 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
- No you won’t Cy. Just the first time.monospaced

- TL;DR can we have a wtf in 160 characters?sted
- Reach on Instagram is under 10% you need to "promote" aka pay for your posts to reach your friends aka followersgrafician
- and ppl so dumb, literally influencers with 100k followers are getting like <1% reach lol
100ks followers and barely 10k likes/commentsgrafician - there were complaints from influencers with over 100k barely selling 10 t-shirts or merch or stuff because the reach is so low LOLgrafician
- Seen today on twitter a guy applied to a job in video/content and the agency asked only candidates with over 2000 followers to apply and the guy didnt had thatgrafician
- so not getting a job even if you had the skills but not the metrics on social media WTF lolgrafician
- Why not publish promo vids on FB driving traffic back to CH?aliastime
- That’s what they did until FB lied about the numbers. So they changed strategies and it ruined them. That’s the whole accusation.nb
- TL;DR - FB faked data to get companies to move everything to FB and many of those companies went out of business over it. It's fucked upnb

They locked me out of my FB account for no reason about 6months ago. When I try to log in it says something like:
"We have your information but due to covid-19 we are understaffed in confirming your identity. Thanks for your patience"
Honestly, it's been great - I never posted anyway. i only miss photos I didn't take or no longer have.

"533 million Facebook users' phone numbers and personal data have been leaked online"
"The data includes phone numbers, full names, location, email address, and biographical information."
"The exposed data includes personal information of over 533 million Facebook users from 106 countries, including over 32 million records on users in the US, 11 million on users in the UK, and 6 million on users in India. It includes their phone numbers, Facebook IDs, full names, locations, birthdates, bios, and — in some cases — email addresses."

If Facebook wants to sell my data to small businesses, and let’s be clear that’s what their ad platform does, then they should cut me in. That’s a moral issue. I generate data for these monolithic corporations all day every day. As I live and breath I make data that is consumed by FB, Amazon, etc. they profit off of that data. They profit off my life.
If copyright laws were modernized, I would own all the data I generate. Apple is right to put that ownership in my hands as much as possible. Not Tim Cook. Not Marks. Not Elons.
Shareholders don’t care, but this is honestly theft. When Facebook profits off of recording 98% of all human speech and god knows how much else, they shouldn’t be protected from liability for broadcasting garbage to the progenitors of their wealth.
I say challenge FBs section 203. They shouldn’t have it both ways. They shouldn’t be able to steal my data and then claim no responsibility for what happens on their platform. Small businesses with young platforms deserve section 203. Mega conglomerates should be held to a higher standard. Using small businesses as a shield is a rank PR stunt.
- LOL
YOURE SERIOUS?!monospaced - They steal your data because you give it to them for FREE. I sorta agree with you but what would you get if the platform was $10 a month?Hayoth
- You generate data the same way a cow generates CO2, it's only a byproduct of your online activity. You are not creating data, it's not a copyright issue.palimpsest
- Facebook harvests our data/manure to sell to other companies which in turn propose to sell us shit. It's the circle of life.palimpsest
- i'm with jtb26, tho they don't steal your data, they do monetise it. and they should give us a cut of that income, after all without their users they're nothinhans_glib
- it doesn't need to be much, but it should be something to say "thanks mate for your contribution". until they do that they can fuck right off.hans_glib
- That would be the cherry on top. Get paid for your data that gets used to deliver ads to sell you shit that you end up buying in the end.palimpsest
- Your cut gets included in the cost. Everybody wins.palimpsest
- This is Apple allowing a user to simply opt in or opt out. Why would anyone argue with this? You opt in when you join Facebook and this is a reminder.ideaist
- It’s basic consumer rights.ideaist
- This is a more reasonable argument. Like what what they do with cookies. It should be your choice. We own, and should own up to, our choices.palimpsest
- I've always been pretty underwhelmed at the level of targeted advertising all this data collection produces. Maybe I just don't use social media enough, but Iyuekit
- feel like most of the ads I see are just basic retargeting based on ecommerce sites I've already visited.yuekit
- Only two years ago I started seeing ads targeted to my interests, and like you're saying they were based on products I had already seen.palimpsest
- It's only been this year that I have been offered products that I wasn't aware of and interest me. It's been a welcome change.palimpsest

re: jtb26
You might be interested in / already read Jaron Lanier, but if not you might find this interesting.
Quick overview:
https://www.nytimes.com/interact…Paper published in the Harvard Business Review:
http://eliassi.org/lanier_and_we…That said, it's a naive pipe dream. These corporations got so much for free, and there's no way they're going to give it up. They didn't buy us out, and we didn't sell ourselves. We just gave it away.
(Also the splash screen on the Lanier page is just hilarious)

The head of whatsapp tried to bullshit on twitter re: the latest privacy scandal, then this tweet of the day came up in the feed
the entire thread:
https://twitter.com/wcathcart/st…
- GuyFawkes4
WhatsApp is forcing users to share personal data with Facebook, and Elon Musk is urging people to switch to Signal, a smaller encrypted messaging app
- I gotta look into this later: https://signal.org/GuyFawkes
- if most of your contacts are domestic signal is way better than whatsapp, but international i've noticed is heavy WA userscolin_s
- I've been trying to convert friends/family to Signal for years but some int'l plans include WA use into data plans so they don't see the value.mapleT
- Staying away from anything, and everything Facebook touches is probably good practice.section_014
- iMessage on my Mac is 8mb. Whatsapp is 290mb and Signal is 354mb. It seems bigger, Elon mate!Ianbolton

Disgustinggrafician - Everybody knows there were no small businesses before Facebook...inv
- For small businesses they basically killed organic growth so everybody pay them to show content to the users lolgrafician
- basic bribery and extortion from Facebookgrafician
- I recommend for small brands to just ignore Facebook as a platform, maybe just use Instagram - still, but not for long, as Zuck destroying the reach there toografician
- On instagram you get like under 10% organic reach! So if you have 1000 followers, only under 100 see your contentgrafician
- I see in my feed like literally basic normal people promoting their posts so others can see their painting or whatever art they makegrafician
