    No that’s being pushed back on the idea from people with tech skills who work in the cyber security industries. You don’t think they would realize if something like this was happening and shout it from the rooftops?

    It’s everyone’s favorite past time to dunk on Facebook but that doesn’t mean we should make stuff up without evidence. Calling people naive because they don’t believe you is the same as saying it’s true because you want it to be.

    Evidence must be presented. I’ve never seen any not in the 10 years these claims have been made. No one has ever bothered to provide a shred of evidence and all of it is who I talked about X and then I saw an ad for X.

    Pardon me for wanting something a little bit more concrete

      Nope. Too many people are just trying to collect a paycheck. This is testable without access to the backend or source code and too many sociopaths work in the industry. My default is to distrust anything when the other party has a profit motive to lie. It’s anti-skeptical, but you have to prove that they aren’t spying on me if you want me to trust something.

        Okay so address my fundamental point which is show me the evidence because otherwise you’re living in exciting reality of your own creation. I am positive it is very fun in there, but it doesn’t have much to do with here on Earth

        Come leave here on the other side of the reality curtain we have donuts.

          I took a morning summer Bio110 course. The teacher would recommend making easy projects rather then interesting projects, the students were just fulfilling their credit requirements and one time, I was the first one in and over heard the teacher shit talking community college students. Regular session students were dumb and summer session students that were home on break were just drifting through the class for the requirements. This same teacher denied my experiment because the school didn’t have the equipment to run it, but I was planning on doing it at home anyway. It was basically just a yeast growing project with a special microbe.

          I was doing this class in parallel with an online high school course because I wanted a classroom to go with it. The online high school material was more advanced then the CC material and didn’t help at all.

          This was the most recent time I tried. How much money do I need to throw away before my opinion is valid to you?

      Sure thing… Just install Facebook Messenger on your phone and don’t pay attention to all of the permissions it needs that are completely unrelated to communicating with people in a messaging app. It is literal malware.
