Hm. Ok. Lerned my lesson with Ubi with Anno2070. Never bought an Ubi title since. Will be interesting to see how this goes. Most people talk much about morality but never let follow consequences. Looking at you #deletefacebook #deletewhatsapp #deletewindows so i predict Ubi will get away with this.

Things I'm learning about my Facebook data while testing Kyanite's (FB archive viewer) new stats panel: Apparently at some point Spotify was posting every song I listened to to my timeline. I had no idea or don't recall it being so chatty😡 #DeleteFacebook nequalsonelifestyle.com/2021/12/07/kya…

Facebook...err Meesa...err Meta, is living up to their promise of having an open metaverse...as long as you have a Facebook account! /sarcasm
Don't believe the hype.
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

An impediment to deleting Facebook is being able to get and use your data. Facebook lets you export it but using it sucked. I've released a beta of a new tool, Kryanite, that lets you really use your data on #Windows #macOS and #Linux #DeleteFacebook nequalsonelifestyle.com/2021/11/17/har…

To highlight how pervasive Facebook/Meesa is: I am not logged into it anywhere, don't use their SSO, no apps on any devices, blockers and containers on all browsers, and they *still* tracked 3 things and linked it back to my account in one week. Crazy! #DeleteFacebook #DeleteMeta

But in that same article it's pointed out that Facebook/Meesa last week saying they would stop using facial recognition tech *only* applied to Facebook. We kind of knew that was a bait and switch. Makes my SSO joke maybe prescient. #DeleteFacebook arstechnica.com/tech-policy/20…

I shared this once but am thinking I'm going to start referring to Facebook/Meta as Meesa now. Like Jar Jar they are a perpetually annoying bumbling fuck that manages to rise to upper echelons of power and help destroy everything thing while there. #DeleteFacebook #DeletaMeta

Umm we spent a decade doing almost nothing but talking about the good while ignoring the metastasizing cancer that has consumed them and us. Skeptical coverage is good but late. Playing "I don't know details" at this point is weak tea too. #DeleteFacebook washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/…

In today's #DeleteFacebook #DeleteMeta it seems that their dropping the ball internationally even worse than here also extends into Spanish-language content in the US as well. If you think it's a dumpster fire for English content in the US, then buckle up. washingtonpost.com/outlook/2021/1…

This! You think Facebook (err Meta) tracks insane amounts of data on your habits now just wait. All those sensors. No platform privacy protections. The same horrible corporate culture. Can you say "dystopian"? #DeleteFacebook #DeleteMeta nytimes.com/2021/10/29/tec…

Yes, Facebook is deeply concerned that someone other than them is fucking over small businesses. It's a shame it was Apple privacy policies not people deserting the platform that caused their downturn. I wish they'd just evaporate. #DeleteFacebook macrumors.com/2021/10/26/app…

I can't help but cringe at them talking about how open & interoperable *their* "metaverse" will be while they work/fund the exact opposite on the internet. If they have their way they'll own monopoly control of it too. Don't buy their BS #DeleteFacebook about.fb.com/news/2021/10/c…

Oh they already showed they’ve learned absolutely nothing #DeleteFacebook
It's telling, I think, that when I asked Facebook why these research challenges did not include privacy features (like opting out of being recorded) the company said it expected these would simply be developed down the line. theverge.com/2021/10/14/227…

Since Facebook has such a great record on privacy and making sure their AI doesn’t lead to fucked emergent effects online and in the real world I’m sure this is a great idea! /sarcasm #DeleteFacebook
Facebook wants to create AI systems that offer perfect memory — cataloguing not just what you say but the physical world around you. Such systems could be incredibly useful, of course, but have huge privacy implications.

If you can't figure out how to stop your product from destroying the world then you stop making it until you do. It's BS b/c tweaking their algorithm has been shown to work in their research and they won't do it b/c it cuts down engagement. #DeleteFacebook cbsnews.com/news/facebook-…

One of most egregious things in this is political parties went to them and said having to chase the algorithm is making them use more extremist messaging/policies and FB did nothing about it. Disgusting. #DeleteFacebook cbsnews.com/news/facebook-…

“Facebook, over and over again, has shown it chooses profit over safety,” says Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen. She believes the federal government should impose regulations and plans to testify before Congress this week. cbsn.ws/3D8du3D
