Charolotte Caxton Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 Stopped reading. We are arguing against a virtual reality while living a virtual reality? SL is the metaverse. Anyone who thinks otherwise has never lived here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's funny that you donate your time to defend someone who would buy you for extra organs if he could, on a forum almost nobody reads.

Save your kisses for him. I'm not defending anyone. I'm just stating facts while you and others that tried to answer me talks for.. theories and fantasies. But you are right, I should not "donate my time" to someone that thinks that a random dude, just because he is rich would buy me for organs This shows just how all your argument are based on nothing. I guess to say that you know him personally, right? Is getting more and more ridicolous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looky here - it's the Meta Earnings Presentation for Q1 2022! https://s21.q4cdn.com/399680738/files/doc_financials/2022/q1/Q1-2022_Earnings-Presentation_Final.pdf Not exactly as specific as some people make it sound. It does give us a figure for "Facebook Average Revenue per User" though. Almost looks like they treat their users as a source of income. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been a trend since he referred to his users as "dumb f&*ks" in an interview. And if you think he's gotten better or more caring over the years, I have a bridge to sell you. He has about as much empathy for his users, or anyone "beneath" his social status, as you do for a cockroach crawling out of your shower drain. I wouldn't work for his company for any money he could ever offer. Heck, I wouldn't shake his hand for money. And as others have pointed, out this metaverse thing? It's gonna need to cover the entire gamut of activities we humans get up to. Including sex ... and whipped cream (sometime at the same time).

Ayashe Ninetails Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 (edited) To be fair to Meta, @Scylla Rhiadra, the FSA Chief Operating Officer SAYS they didn't use the data they were given, lulz (I'll wait for the full investigation and see what that turns up, of course - they still don't seem to know yet whether or not financial data was accessed, either).

You know that, right? That's how they make money. Nope, they don't sell anything. They use my data to show me "pertinent" (not always) ads on their platform and they SHARE (not sell) some data with other websites. Data like my gender, my age etc.. All stuff YOU WRITE on facebook. Even all this data sharing, people are scared about, you think to be that important? The fact that someone knows the like you put to a page, how old are you and where are you from matters that much among more than 1 billion users where your data are some random lines that just software will see? If that scares you too much, fine. Delete all your Facebook, Instagram and Whatsapp profiles and you are free. If that doesn't scare you, keep using it. We are free to choose. But here people choose drama and to follow the trend of hating big companies. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's one way. The other way is that they track you on the majority of the worlds top 100,00 websites using cookies, trackers etc, know your browsing habits, have contracts with the three largest credit agencies in the US, and have more than 2,900 data points on you. Meta knows with almost pin-pont accuracy if you're pregnant, divorced, gay, where you live, what you buy, what sites you visit, how long you spend on those sites, where you travel, and more. They also know who your friends are. They recently even tried to get partnered with VISA and Mastercard. Whatever for, I wonder? Then .. they sell this data as very finely segmented audiences to companies that want you as a customer. So that, say, Nike knows you buy $200 runners, jog as a hobby, live in CA, are 45 year old male, and will target you with that advertising. Across every site Meta partners with. That banner ad is nothing compared to the $ they make doing this. You are their product. Edited July 25, 2022 by Katherine Heartsong 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
