Facebook...

Is that a Spanish dish ?

Every few days Facebook asks me to log in. So today I do so, and I am asked to confirm my e-mail address, which I do. It then says I typed my e-mail address in too quickly, and so my Facebook account has been temporarily suspended! Now, I've been on t'internet since 2001, so yes, I can type my e-mail address quickly on a keyboard. I try to go in again, and it is now asking for a video selfie. I don't have a camera attached to my tower PC loaded with Windows 10, for the simple reason I do not need one.

So Facebook can go away in short jerky motions as far as I am concerned...

Better off it IMO

I like seeing what people have had for their tea

I like seeing what my fat ex`s have had for tea.

Usually a ready meal for one, washed down with a pint of tears and misery.

Why are all your ex’s fat?

Also, with the rapid advances in AI, anyone putting their pictures out there is tapped.

Do people use Facebook now? I don’t really get what the point of it is. Whole appeal dropped off a cliff when you started getting friend requests off weird family members and people started creating groups called ‘if you don’t like my poppy get out my country’

Lol.
A lad who was in the same year as me, but was never a friend sent me a friends request during the brief time I had an account.

His profile pic, was of him bare chested giving a Nazi salute to a Union Jack.

At that point I immediately deleted my account

Bin it off.

Zuckerberg is a waste of carbon and Meta is a vehicle for totalitarianism.

This. Deleted my Facebook earlier this year. They make it a chore to download all your photos and even finding the function for deleting it is deliberately tedious, but it's well worth it. A cesspool of right-wing bozos and ads for things based off an algorithm that has seemingly never looked at my online activity once

The days of the internet, if they ever existed, being a benign source of information are long gone. It is now largely an algorithmically based propoganda machine that takes a level of training to negotiate to get the information you need. No place is worse for the than the trump bootlicking owners of social media, get rid of it

 

[verreauxi]

I would assume they want these selfie-videos for AI scraping/training. So yes, Meta should go have sex with itself as soon and as often as possible.

Facebook is guff. Too many ads and it's laughable at the people posting political stuff they have just copied and pasted for likes without any research. Most of which I wouldn't trust to make me a slice of toast without keeping an eye on the fire blanket.

If this post is too boring for you all I apologise, however, any thoughts on WhatsApp?
If there aren't any replies no worries.

I used to use it for keeping in touch with people, particular when we are all overseas (it's big in Africa/India), but now it has largely been replaced by Signal, which I use exclusively here at home and abroad (I barely even use iMessages anymore).

I also do not trust WhatsApp about privacy--no matter what they claim--given their owners.
