Comment on When a person follows you and watches your every move, it's called stalking. When companies like Meta do it, it's just called collecting user data.

I just had that comment the other day from a recruiter who “dug into” my socials with the help of “expert tools”. She said “Aww… you seem really nice to everyone!” (eller “Faaaan… du framstår som så trevlig mot allt och alla!”) after browsing all my non-anonymous social posts and seeing which Facebook groups I’ve participated in. I had just about deleted my Meta accounts before I realized I needed to have some kind of semblance of “social posting”, as my LinkedIn and such were pretty meager. The recruiting company unfortunately seems to prove that I need to have a social media trail in order to be employable in my field of expertise. Which has literally nothing to do with social media.
