    Facebook: [Has always been a surveillance apparatus intent on exploiting users]

    Facebook: [Does what it does]

    Everybody: [Continues to pour money and information into facebook ‘because’]

    Me: Maybe in a few MORE DECADES people will wake up!

    Everybody: [Does not wake up]

      It is so bizzare to me why the rest of the world has been so comfortable with meta services and been using their social media for years when they’ve come across as a company to not trust with that information

      But, I’m probably the weird one looking like im putting tinfoil on my windows and head to the average person.

      [Redacted Friend’s Name]: What? How’d you manage that one?
      Zuckerberg: People just submitted it.
      Zuckerberg: I don’t know why.
      Zuckerberg: They “trust me”
      Zuckerberg: Dumb fucks

      What Westerners don’t realise is that Facebook’s main audience are people from developing countries. FB provides free and unlimited access to everyone even without internet data. But the actual price? You guessed it.

      Didn’t Facebook show their true colours with surveillance and right wing content a few years after they started?

        The very concept itself is insane. Give us your real name, we own your data, etc etc.
