    Modern human life is a social experiment.

      Modern human life is a social experiment exploitation.

      They’re not trying to figure out what will happen or doing it for goofs. They are knowingly exploiting people at their most vulnerable.

      Everyone involved with that is piece of shit.

      I get what you’re saying, but life itself is a social experiment, really…

    Can we finally start criminal prosecution of these low lives and throw them in jail where they belong? Zuckerberg, Elmo Musk, the Amazon dude, all of them are criminals that belong in jail, not on a fucking pedestal

      Until accountability laws are changed so corporations actually get any sort of punishment they would likely only get an NPA or DPA and carry on as nothing happened.

      People who still use Facebook: “don’t judge me how else would I keep in touch with meemaw and peepaw I only use it a teensy little bit 😭😭😭”

        I honestly get it if people don’t want to lose touch, but one thing to do is at least asking people if they can contact you other ways, I’ve asked family members to send me emails instead of facebook messages and they were willing to, it’s obvious at this point to most people why someone would want to quit facebook.

    even a scathing rant about surveillance capitalism becomes fodder for the machine, as you can clearly see with the ads on this page.

    What ads? 😏

    I believe it was the Netflix documentary The Social Dilemma (2020) that demonstrated exactly this in an experiment with a woman who willingly participated. Researchers showed how browsing data and search history can be used to tell when someone might be more vulnerable or persuadable (she had had a miscarriage during the experiment, which of course was very exposed due to search history), which can then be used to serve ads promoting beauty or health/dieting/fitness products.
