  • It’s always the games or some other Chinese crApp

    Despite strenuous efforts, I still get ads using my private information (like I told my friend in person I needed a charger for a specific brand of vacuum [I needed the charger for a piece of random equipment but found that a Dyson cable worked and wouldn’t be $100] and next thing you know I’m getting ads for Dyson and vacuums in general).


  • When Facebook and IG switched to their algorithm instead of showing newest first I made this case and nobody would listen to me.

    They’re having their cake and eating it too (and trafficking everyone’s data unregulated). Just like when EU members using a US VPN get violations of the GDPR.

    Aside: I went to a site today and had my VPN set to an EU country and when I picked “reject advertising cookies” it said this page isn’t available in areas governed by the GDPR or whatever that law is. They’re censoring themselves from places that don’t let them steal data.
