Never did like any phone. But I always trusted $Alphabet-C (GOOG.US)$ to keep the Internet alive on so-called "smart" phones. Unfortunately, as the name implies -- that which makes smart can also be used to make ..dumb.
Does not surprise me that trackers, bots and fake user accounts are being used to defraud advertisers into thinking that Facebook is anything other than a ghost town. People who've actually worked a career in tech for anybody other than themself (hint: not college dropout CEO!), those people know that there several obvious ways to simulate or fake user activity; one is explained here and noted above. If you do not wish to click ? TL;DR -- the "covert tracking" Yandex and Meta use pulls your phone browsing history into a FB "datacenter" and then sells your data as if it's part of the FB "ecosystem". But you never gave FB that permission. This is bad on many levels and Google agrees.
For the RECORD, I never installed any Facebook app on any phone, since I got my first #smartphone in 2014 as a very late to the smartphone party phone-hating writer. On my computers, I rarely rarely checked the account which I had opened in 2007 or 2008-ish as it was one of the tens of thousands of websites I'd checked out surfing the Internet in my 20's. I figured out how to take extra measures to disable those potential tracking capabilities that people move mountains to do on their computers, but sometimes just ignore on their phones.
I sure am getting annoyed with the fact that college dropout CEO has become accustomed to taking whatever he wants and never being held accountable. But I'm writing this today because I am more worried for one of the Internet's real tech talents -- a Mr. Andrew Wang. He is young, so I can say with pretty high confidence that his talent that was valued at almost 15 billion USD was how to Scale for Support without losing personality. That is a topic I have been noted as discussing for some public records long before him.
SO where, Google, is my 15 B USD payout?
Moomoo Futu, has a base of more than 50 percent of people who deleted FB a long time ago -- which is awesome, but I know my enemy's hatred is big. Zuckerberg's hatred and evil are the largest on the planet.
A word of advice: be very careful when those website SSL certs expire on June 25, because I know from experience using that "DigiCert" protocol on my own site a few years ago -- that little window is where college dropout CEO tends to do evil things. His modus operandi is to attack or sabotage ecosystems he cannot control, but wishes he could. His stalking of me happened long after I left him (there's a very interesting story here, but will keep this one on topic).
Fortunately, what my native language translates to "Great Spirit" has protected me from his hate and evil. I pray that same spirit will protect innocent people in Iran.
It also is important for me to say that I never ever demean anyone who "trusted" Facebook before it went public on IPO. I would never call anyone "stupid" for seeking out friends and family on it before 2011. Big Money completely changes some people, but mostly it just reveals their true character. Good people tend to not accumulate much money because the rate at which they distribute it to people who need it more than they do is larger than the rate at which they buy things for themselves. Who needs 14 mansions, two doomsday bunkers, two luxury yachts, and two porches? Bad people -- like you know who -- want and want and want with nothing but apathy for other people's basic survival.
Is it coincidence that not long after announcing wishes for his datacenters to be going "nuclear" ... is it coincidence that through Scale AI, he is attempting to "acquire" the child of two nuclear physicists? The DNN got the most obvious thing right: ... college dropout does not have 15 billion dollars of runway to buy ScaleAI. His delusions run so deep. The other results of the DNN were scary, but unsurprising.
Noor Jasmine researched another dark tetrad CEOs for her video.
The modus operandi of CEOs who "want want want" the tech but hate or disagree strongly with the ethics of the founders? The pattern that pops up again and again is that the easiest thing for the CEO to do is to delete the ethics of the founder by deleting the founder's life. And it usually gets ruled a "suicide".
So it is with great caution, I share this prediction that Wang will be gone from his acquihire job in < 5 years. College dropout CEO manipulated the child of two Los Alamos nuclear physicists. The stakes of the narcissist stands to lose are very high, so do not underestimate sneering narcissist's malice.
