Where did you dig up this chestnut?
i'm pretty sure it's been out there for quite some time.
oh come on now. facebook being moral? that's bullshit.
they did all this stuff because they cared?
abusive corporative behavior that is not very different from Facebook s here, but somehow Facebook gets a free pass? They cannot have it both ways. If governments should interfere to prevent abusive prices for phone subscriptions (which are opt-in) then you cannot defend Facebook is a legit company being victimized by the evil governments of doom.
Interesting perspective, but a phone is basically a critical need in this da ee to disagree I suppose.

Yes, they did. Who do you think works there? The people Facebook hires are t
writing lines of code like you seem to think.

TOTP is theoretically safer than SMS verification, but for practical purposes, it is more of a headache. I think the average granny is more likely to set SMS auth than TOPT, and is she sets TOTP, she is more
likely to lose her acess tokens and suffer.
Yes, they did. Who do you think works there? The people Facebook hires are those smart college kids that want to "make the world a better place". Their entire pitch and mission with recruiting is connecting people. There aren't these evil boogeymen people writing lines of code like you seem to think.
people DO need protection from facebook though. or facebook should just be transparent about what it does. yes, they arent forcing you to use
it, but it's mainstream and they have been pulling bullshit evil shit for years. ---
Can't say I agree but respect your opinion nonetheless.
i'm pretty sure it's been out there for quite some time.
Care to find some proof? All I found was salacious articles, none of which appear to come from any trusted news source.

I don't care how good the employees are. The power Capital has is they can take good people and abuse them and enslave them and make them work torwards the Capital's goals instead of the worker's. Facebook is no difference at a fundamental level. It is owned by the Capital and workers' output is taken and used as the Capital sees fit.
they've also manipulated information on covid, the covid vaccine and they've tried to manipulate the presidential election. those are all facts. ---

Sounds like what China is doing to its workers.

False. Anyway I'm done arguing, it's not going to do any good, not like I'll convince you of anything even if I'm the most persuasive person alive.
i'm not arguing.

answer me this: since facebook is full of young people who
want to make the world such a great place, why don't they hire women?
why is it mostly white males?
those are facts.
you're just seeing it as an argument.
Yes smart indoctrinated college kids i'm sure.... I'm not going to say they are all like this but for some of the stuff Facebook , Twitter , Youtube and other Social Media Platforms have been doing....
all indoctrinated but i'm sure a lot of them are.
I'm not too familiar with Facebook's hiring policies, but I've been working as a software developer since 2003, and the whole industry is fairly male-dominated (at least, in the US). I doubt Facebook just doesn't hire women; it just seems that there are few women in the US who decide to go into tech jobs. I did work for one very large (multi-national) tech company and they did have women developers and engineers working there - but many of them were from other countries (mainly India or China).
you're just seeing it as an argument.
And you continue arguing ;) I'm not going to argue. This is silly.

Not everyone at facebook or any social media company HAS to be a
white developer.
fb's demographics have been embarassing since the beginning.
the proof is in the pudding. and they have been using the same
receipe for a very long time. women can do these jobs, it's
sexist to think they cant. it's sexist to ignore the
demographics that fb has adhered to.

i'm not trying to argue either.
i'm just pointing out facts.
This Privacy Ruling Against Facebook and Instagram Could
Spell the End of Targeted Ads
Man, this is actually something I'm not a huge fan of.
Sure, targeted ads and feeling as though you're being spied
on is lame. Totally. I get it. But facebook is an opt-in
platform. It's not a public utility like a library, it's a
business. I don't see how any government can force a
business to give away access to a commercial platform for
free.
So what's any company that relies on ad revenue to give
away services supposed to do? Charge for accounts? I guess?
drop by to see if there are any new postings from friends. I
don't contribute content myself.
Maybe they could provide the option to turn OFF the
presentation of ads if I don't want to see them, meanwhile,
they could still collect and analyse my activity on FB.
But I don't like the way the ads keep following me from site to
site.
Ogg wrote to esc <=-
One of the problems is that they use your activity data even
when you are not using FB. I've logged into FB for a few
minutes, check for some messages and then leave. But when I'd
visit another website, "targetted ads" based on what I was
reading on FB appear as ads on that other website! So,
clearly, FB is distributing my user activity/content info to
other parties.
I've seen people talking about a containerized browser for Facebook,
don't know if incognito mode would work. The mere fact that people need
to create a workaround to your company's privacy overreaches is a
serious issue that reflects the fact that you are their product, not
their customer.

They do have kind of an insidious octopus of a service spread all
around. Sounds like tinfoil hat territory to accurately describe what
they do.
