    I redlighted their products when your couldn’t find anything negative about Trump around the election time, but you could find all sorts of negative stuff about Biden.

    I don’t see how meta would know anything about any chats I have, AI or otherwise.

      If the chats are taking place on their platform, why wouldn’t they?

        That’s the joke

        Well, it’s a good thing I ain’t on any of their products

      It’s probably the ai on their apps that give you targeted ads

      I don’t get the logic Meta only has access to what runs through their apps. Claiming they’d somehow know about AI or private chats outside their platforms feels like a stretch

    Cool, so since I have never talked to that bullshit does that mean I won’t get any ads?

    Obvious plan to use AI chat logs for ads was obvious.

    I am sure people use their AI service exclusively because they shoved it everywhere they can in their services. WhatsApp has a dedicated AI chat button too. This was absolutely obvious it would happen eventually, and I am surprised they are doing it only now.

    Man if ChatGPT did this they would be showing me guns and the home address of Nigel Farage 😂

    I just can’t FaceBook. My wife and I use Marketplace, damned useful, but the main page gives me the heebie jeebies. No idea why, put I have this weird revulsion when I land there. Twitter doesn’t do that to me, and I hate Musk even more than Zuckerberg.

    0% sympathy for any of the people still using those platforms.

    They deserve all the abuse they’re willing to take!
