Fuck You Facebook and Google!

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
https://www.businessinsider.com/…
- 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

- 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

Unsealed court document claims Facebook 'knew for years' that a metric was inflated and ignored an employee warning to avoid a revenue hit.

"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."

More info including affected countries:

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.
- Living the dreamnb
- They been tracking your comments posted on QBN.utopian
- this sounds weird. Understaffed?milfhunter

(post because message won't fit in notes)
Here's the exact message I see when I try to log into FB
"Reviewing Your Information May Take Longer Than Usual
Thank you for sending your information. We have received it.
We have fewer people available to review information due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. It may take longer than usual to review your account.
We're always looking out for the security of people on Facebook, so until then, you can't use your account.
Thank you for understanding"
yea - has to be bullshit.

We created a multi-variant targeted ad designed to show you the personal data that Facebook collects about you and sells access to. The ad would simply display some of the information collected about the viewer which the advertising platform uses. Facebook was not into that idea.
