    Meta’s business model has always been surveillance dressed up as connection. Now Muse reportedly wants to build hourly dossiers on people who never even signed up. Friends, family, bystanders: everyone becomes data because one Meta user mentioned them.

    Hey, why is Meta using this uncanny valley grimace on xanex as a mascot anyway? I mean, what’s the plan there… He’s creepy.

    This is also a major problem with social networks, gmail and so on - users think these authorize them to give away private data of you- like phone numbers, mail adresses, text message content, images - of you.

    Now things that have been told in confidence only for their ears are added to that list.

    Fuck me, that thing even kinda looks like Bonzi Buddy.

    You know, the thing from 25 years ago that spied on you and you only installed if you were an idiot (I installed it twice).
