Here I am, boycotting any company that pays for unskippable ads I come across. How are people ok with getting flooded with bullshit like this?

    Doing something personally is not a boycott.

    "A boycott is an act of nonviolent, voluntary abstention from a product, person, organization, or country as an expression of protest. It is usually for moral, social, political, or environmental reasons. The purpose of a boycott is to inflict some economic loss on the target, or to indicate a moral outrage, usually to try to compel the target to alter an objectionable behavior."

    This is what I was taught, but if there's a better word I'd love to be informed.

    I am so happy that Meta has nearly zero data on me (I’m sure my dumbass blood relations uploaded my wedding pictures). This is so screwed up. I’m sure boomers don’t care though. This is the only way they’ll see their kids again anyways.

    This works because the majority of meta customers are divorced boomers and widowers so they can put in the ex or deceased partner and be like "Hello NAME HERE it is I your beloved NAME HERE asking you to buy PRODUCT"

    It's okay, this isn't illegal because you ticked that you read facebook's 400-page terms and conditions document 16 years ago.

    Surely this has to get so egregious that even root vegetables in the garden will take offense, right? Right?

    the origin of this sin ought to be drawn and quartered like a blasphemer of old

    the very earth strains by the weight of the house of zuckerberg. mere propriety demands a certain division of its prodigious heap

    Any photo you upload to the cloud can and will be used for AI training. Once it is absorbed by the evergrowing monstrosity, it is impossible to disentangle. Your likeness is in its database for eternity (or as long as its creators keep feeding it energy and data).

    Lol my union rep and I were having a chat:

    Her: "hey next time you're on facebook turn on location we're trying to get ads to come up near jobs with non union guys"

    Me: 'Oh i don't use facebook'

    "What do you use?"

    'For what?'

    "... do you not use social media? "

    She looked at me like i had 2 heads.

    Zuck's next effort could be an effort at mind control. You sell products to you.
