Cam Barrett knows the precise date of her first menstrual period. Her mother posted the news on Facebook. Barrett, who lives in Illinois, is part of a growing movement of young people who are urging lawmakers to protect children whose parents monetize their private lives on social media.
Yeah, but it doesn’t matter because I’m not really that interesting at that level. Or possibly at any level.
Note: this is not saying it’s fine as long as you don’t do anything wrong. I’ve done some shit and I know they could know, but they don’t give a fuck so I feel safely anonymous, but that doesn’t mean I’m cool that they could know if they ever decided to care. Fuck, this is longer than my actual fucking joke.
You should watch The Social Dilemma on Netflix. It’s a very accessible explanation of how social media works by creating psychographic profiles to maximize engagement. It’s written and narrated by experts in their respective fields, many of whom created the systems that are now standard. It’s legitimately scary stuff. They’ve been using psychographic profile systems since 2010, so they’ve only gotten more advanced with time.
I will check it out. I’m already somewhat anti-personal-social-media. Lemmy and formerly Reddit where I can just say and be whoever I want with basically no identity is a different case. I get creeped out and stop posting any time I gain any sort of actual following, including abandoning Reddit identities every few years and starting fresh. I’m basically shit at social media, is what I’m saying, but I don’t care because I hate it, but also I need upvotes - PLEASE LOVE ME!
Anyway, yeah man, I’ll check it out. That actually does sound like something I would have interesting nightmares about.
Sorry if my humor missed, but fuck it, you don’t know me.
There’s no such thing as posting private. Meta and all of its partners, affiliates, and advertisers are always in the room.
