Comment on Neil Young Leaves Facebook & Instagram Over “Unconscionable” Policies for AI Chatbot Conversations With Children

I feel like more people should know what’s going on. Facebook has done some scummy stuff in the past. Now Zuck is openly defending his AI grooming children. In and of itself it doesn’t make a lot of sense — what’s the upshot for Meta here? But outside the bubble of logic, it sets kids up to be groomed by real predators. It’s unacceptable.

People say the problem is that all the people they know are on Facebook. Two issues: most of those people would forget you exist if you leave Facebook. Also, you’re the reason they’re there. The second reason is that you are literally the product. You being on Facebook is part of the reason those people are, too, so be the change you want to see in the world.

This is 100% true. I dropped facebook about 10 years back. If I’m not your “friend” without facebook, then you’re not really my friend. Getting out of that cesspool of drama and ignorance was one of the best moves I’ve made.

You use(d) Facebook to stay connected. I use Facebook (with any empty profile) to engage/troll Trump supports. We are not the same.

But seriously, it’s interesting to use it to delve into the right wing zeitgeist.

For example, do not believe the narrative that they are upset about the Epstein list. They’ve been given marching orders to blame it on Biden “because if there was something there why didn’t Biden release it” and “a liberal just withheld the grand jury testimony, so it’s their fault” – don’t bother with the reality or nuance around of any of this, it doesn’t matter to them. They are a cult.

These are the type of people who would dismiss their own child coming forward with moleststion claims and allowing the abuse to continue. I am not exaggerating here. I had one demand physical evidence of Trump raping children; literally demand child porn be distrusted to them before they’ll ~~be convinced.~~ reshift the goalpost.

what’s the upshot for Meta here?

I’m a firm-believer that there is some data point somewhere that indicates this will make them more money somehow, so that’s why they do this.

This companies aren’t run by people; they’re run by data.
