The distressing thing for me is knowing that a lot of my friends (and exes) are exactly the sort of people that'll just absent-mindedly click OK without reading it and share every single photo they've ever taken of me; photos which Facebook's facial recognition will easily tag.

I don't have many pictures of myself on my own phone. Most pictures of me are on the phones of the people who took them.

This is exactly what they expect to happen. Who reads the fine print?

God that's ridiculous... the image hash depends on the image not having changed at all from the one uploaded by the user. If they're screenshotted and cropped, or sent via a messaging platform that compresses them, they'll be visually similar enough to not matter, and different enough to have a different hash. So, Zuck gets a free peek at your your nudes, and all you get is a false sense of security.

Yes and no, there are specific image hashing algorithms that attempt to add a likeness score.

These are already used with in the cloud to combat CSAM

messenger.com does not work on mobile, except if you switch your browser to desktop mode. It's quite hard to use it, even lots of text become smaller, so lots of people wouldn't keep using that

Uninstalled it today. If others don't want to make the switch they will have to call me. Fuck the ignorant.

I always wonder why people like him are still casually strolling around while being the personified evil for 20+ years. It sure is evidence that Karma doesn't exist.

Don’t use their app. Web only.

FB itself for a community group, and Messenger for my family group chat

The group now has a presence on Discord, but there are still 26 times as many members on FB. In Hungary many people still use FB as their main social network. At most they also use Instagram, but that obviously doesn't work for closed discussion groups.

I still use Facebook (many friends and relatives still there) but only through the web browser. Never ever install an app if you can help it. FB has tried to make the web version worse and worse in the mobile browser, though, to try to force people to use the app. Comment input boxes got janky and now chat is impossible unless you check "desktop site". These things worked fine a couple years ago.

Well look on the bright side. AI is about to become really good at drawing penises under fat bellies.

Also, don't use their website.

I bet a lot of people will slow because they will not read it or not really understand what they are accepting. Some will even share the new AI creating as something nice while they are giving up their private photos to Meta

Problem is if you have family on other countries most use WhatsApp for everything, it’s hard for some to not have any Meta app.

Fediverse is still mostly Westerner.

While on Facebook, there are a ton of community from SEA, East Asia, Africa, Middle East, and so on.

Also, Facebook Lite makes the poorest people in my country to be able to access social media without using too many internet quota.

The variation of groups is far beyond any social media, even Reddit or any other community site.
You can get thousands of variation of Minecraft groups that exactly suits your community needs. Or maybe just a city chicken fried seller community.

Can I have your SSN or credit card info? Maybe bank info? You obviously live handing out your into to large corporations so you won't mind is having it too right?

Edqard Snowden has a different opinion:

When you share with Facebook, you share with Trump.

Do you comply with relevant ISO and PCI standards and have a privacy policy? What country of origin is your business registered to? What are you offering me in return got my information?

Don't be ignorant lol.
