The specificity and quantity of information the text and multimedia platform can access poses a risk to most users, if it falls into the wrong hands or is used to target them, tech experts agree.

“This is a hacker’s dream,” said Claudette McGowan, a longtime banking executive who founded Protexxa, a Toronto-based platform that uses artificial intelligence to rapidly identify and resolve cyber issues for employees.

Yeah, that's fair enough. I just wanted to point out it's not our data that will be in jeopardy any more than it is right.

I never have an expectation of privacy when it comes to content posted on any public platform.

It's being part of the audience that engages and provides content that leads to feedback loop to stay in the Meta platform I'm so completely against. If people want to do a direct link to unfederated instances on Meta I'm fully for that to encourage people to make a non Meta account and maybe move towards joining those instances.

But, being actually part of the same interacting group that is choosing to feed into the value of Meta. No thanks.
