Why do any of you still use facebook?
FB itself for a community group, and Messenger for my family group chat 🤷
The group now has a presence on Discord, but there are still 26 times as many members on FB. In Hungary many people still use FB as their main social network. At most they also use Instagram, but that obviously doesn’t work for closed discussion groups.
It’s fuckin’ unavoidable. I don’t use any part of it, except for Marketplace, because nothing like it exists. It doesn’t matter if it’s shit, it’s where the stuff is listed for sale.
As for the rest of it, I just quit. Conversations I used to have on messenger have moved elsewhere.
There really needs to be an organized effort from sellers and buyers to identify a solid alternative, which is hard. And post listing about moving off to that platform. A lot of existing ones have their own downsides, and there are just not enough people on them consistently and actively
I like Craigslist, and honestly it’s pretty good now. There just isn’t anyone on there as compared to Facebook marketplace.
Don’t use their app. Web only.
Also, don’t use their website.
When you share with Facebook, you share with Trump.
And don’t let their Like buttons and cookies exist in other websites too
Crazy framing
I bet a lot of people will slow because they will not read it or not really understand what they are accepting. Some will even share the new AI creating as something nice while they are giving up their private photos to Meta
Well look on the bright side. AI is about to become really good at drawing penises under fat bellies.
People still use the Facebook spyware app on their phone?
Young people have Instagram spyware on their phones and old people have Facebook spyware.

Uninstalled it today. If others don’t want to make the switch they will have to call me. Fuck the ignorant.
Same here. I wanted to include it too but it is not as quite bad as the other two(at least I hope so because I can’t avoid it). But yeah you never know with these Meta apps.

Actually, contacts access isn’t strictly necessary! I run it with the permission disabled, and although it complains regularly, it still works. I don’t have any issues with having to remember people’s numbers either since they’re recognisable from the profile pictures and because I talk to the same few people usually

Ahh that makes sense, with more people involved it’s harder to go by. I use Fossify Contacts, and it has an option to save contacts but to make them invisible to other apps. Perhaps that might help you somehow, I’m not sure
Oh so many.
More people use Facebook today than in 2015 when you were using it.
About 2x more people.
I mean I still use it sometimes, I just don’t use that app. It used to be one of my heaviest battery drains even though I didn’t even use it more than a few times a week.
If you’re still on Facebook, you’re probably not aware of what this means or why it’s a bad thing.
No telling what else they do with your pictures once they’re on Meta’s servers. Literal spyware (as if it hasn’t already been for a long time).
Imagine having your nudes accidentally ghiblified, with the originals stored indefinitely on Meta’s servers.
Imagine Palantir connecting to it and when you apply for a job denying you that due to that specific photo.
In have a simple solution to that one: don’t take nudes.
Yes, let’s stop people from doing what they want with their phones just so some shitty company can continue to undermine our right to privacy. 🤡
Ever heard of before and after photos? Some people use them in a work context. Others want to see the results from their gym sesh over time, so on so forth.
Play all with fire and get burned.
Edqard Snowden has a different opinion: https://youtu.be/XEVlyP4_11M?t=30m39s
This is just gross. Just another privacy invasion from the company that decided to track and de-anonymize people around the internet even while those people were doing all the right things to prevent it.
The distressing thing for me is knowing that a lot of my friends (and exes) are exactly the sort of people that’ll just absent-mindedly click OK without reading it and share every single photo they’ve ever taken of me; photos which Facebook’s facial recognition will easily tag.
This is exactly what they expect to happen. Who reads the fine print?
don’t have Facebook on your phone?
better yet, don’t have Facebook?
zero sympathy for anyone caught in this, you’ve all been warned for at least a decade on what supporting Facebook means, why get upset about this now?
I don’t have many pictures of myself on my own phone. Most pictures of me are on the phones of the people who took them.
Problem is if you have family on other countries most use WhatsApp for everything, it’s hard for some to not have any Meta app.
My mom has facebook and also has my photos.
Unless we can get EVERYONE to respect each others’ privacy, arsoning meta ceo until next one gets scared is the only option.
I always wonder why people like him are still casually strolling around while being the personified evil for 20+ years. It sure is evidence that Karma doesn’t exist.
The LAST thing I’d do with my mobile phone is install Facebook or Instagram. What a nightmare.
I still use Facebook (many friends and relatives still there) but only through the web browser. Never ever install an app if you can help it. FB has tried to make the web version worse and worse in the mobile browser, though, to try to force people to use the app. Comment input boxes got janky and now chat is impossible unless you check “desktop site”. These things worked fine a couple years ago.
Facebook is just socially accepted malware.
Nb4 a “bug” causes that setting to be true for all users just like with the cambridge analitica scandal
I’m asking meta to lick my … Meh never mind.
Yes. Just because the feature isn’t useful to you doesn’t mean it won’t be useful to others.
Can I have your SSN or credit card info? Maybe bank info? You obviously live handing out your into to large corporations so you won’t mind is having it too right?
Do you comply with relevant ISO and PCI standards and have a privacy policy? What country of origin is your business registered to? What are you offering me in return got my information?
Don’t be ignorant lol.
