"In perhaps the creepiest example, Facebook applied for (and received, last year) a patent for a tool called Techniques, for emotion detection and content delivery. It would use the camera in your phone to take pictures of you as you scroll through content. Facebook would then use facial analysis to measure how much you did or did not like the content in question, so as to determine what kind of stuff to send your way."
@Gargron Thats not creepy at all /s
@Gargron Facebook keeps getting outed for creepy shit so i think people reboost the old stuff to show how bad it really is
Just the nature of the internet. Some people don't use the internet or Mastodon every day. And even if they do, there's a big chance they won't see a specific bit if news or a specific toot.
@Laurelai It's so weird that toot is making rounds again, I posted it 3 days ago...
