I am sure you already know, but the objection here is going after kids. literally profiling and then abusing their vulnerabilities for profit. this isnt your standard cereal box advertising, I think this is something much darker and more disgusting.

edit: added word

    I hear you, I'm saying this shouldn't have been news to anyone.

    Even teenage girls?

    You seem to be saying that teenage girls should have known FB was manipulating them and just closed the app.

    No, I don’t think they meant the kids should have known better, but rather the adults should have known to keep them away from social media because it’s the ultimate cyber predator.

    God knows what a hyper-specific ML model is going to do for them

    I agree it's not surprising to know that tech billionare ghouls sell their souls for cash, but they not only target kids, they prey on their worst feelings. One example she mentioned is if a 13 yr old girl posted a selfie then deleted it and they concluded that she is suicidal or insecure about her weight for example, then it's $$$ time for the Zuck bombarding her IP with diet and makeup products. Which is a lower low than just targeting kids.. She said it's so bad that she has almost never seen any of facebook higher ups let their kids use it because they know how hurtful it is

    +cashing in on ethnic cleansing

    +cashing in, aiding and selling data to oppressive governments, and even selling them AI tech to help them commit worse oppression and survalliance
