0% sympathy for any of the people still using those platforms.

They deserve all the abuse they're willing to take!

Hey, look at all those ads for weight loss and anime sex dolls! Thanks Meta :D

I just can't FaceBook. My wife and I use Marketplace, damned useful, but the main page gives me the heebie jeebies. No idea why, put I have this weird revulsion when I land there. Twitter doesn't do that to me, and I hate Musk even more than Zuckerberg.

But... but... but... Meta said my chat contents would be absolutely private!!1!

Meta said my PICK A THING would be absolutely private!!1!

Lol. Lmao even.

People who believe meta when they say anything is private:

Private?

They said they didn't even record them!

Man if ChatGPT did this they would be showing me guns and the home address of Nigel Farage 😂

I redlighted their products when your couldn't find anything negative about Trump around the election time, but you could find all sorts of negative stuff about Biden.

Cool, so since I have never talked to that bullshit does that mean I won’t get any ads?

[–] snooggums@piefed.world 4 points 9 hours ago

Obvious plan to use AI chat logs for ads was obvious.

[–] acosmichippo@lemmy.world 11 points 12 hours ago

play stupid games win stupid prizes.

I don’t see how meta would know anything about any chats I have, AI or otherwise.

[–] KoboldCoterie@pawb.social 12 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

If the chats are taking place on their platform, why wouldn't they?

[–] Rooster326@programming.dev 7 points 11 hours ago

That's the joke

[–] hddsx@lemmy.ca 6 points 11 hours ago

Well, it’s a good thing I ain’t on any of their products

[–] yoshisaur@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 12 hours ago

It's probably the ai on their apps that give you targeted ads

[–] Karry_17@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 12 hours ago

I don’t get the logic Meta only has access to what runs through their apps. Claiming they’d somehow know about AI or private chats outside their platforms feels like a stretch
