      Meta is a corporation that doesn’t practice good corporate social responsibility.

      They’ve been caught out running various experiments on their userbase multiple times in the past, and you think they’re all of a sudden going to be ethical?

      It’s far easier for them to pay the fines and tweak their userbase’s minds.

      Just like how their algos fueled the genocide in that one southeast Asian country, there are no boundaries for Zuckerberg.

      You are the product when it comes to meta.

      >The children’s images were used by Meta after their parents had posted them on Instagram to mark their return to school. The parents were unaware that Meta’s settings permitted it to do this. One mother said her account was set to private, but the posts were automatically cross-posting to Threads where they were visible.

      >The father of a 13-year-old who appeared in one of the posts said it was “absolutely outrageous”. The images were all of schoolgirls in short skirts with either bare legs or stockings.

      Alright, pack it up, we’ve failed as a species. Back to the oceans, all of us. Let’s give another animal a shot at intelligent life, we can’t go five minutes without doing something revolting.

      How about parents post photos of their back to school daughters holding signs „Mark Zuckerberg violates your privacy“ or something like that?

      Girls should not be going to school in short skirts and mostly naked legs. This is just the guilt and insecurity of parents speaking. If those photos of your child got out online, you’re the first part of the problem. You cannot expect strangers to „hey dont look at it that way“ as you’re maybe imagining in your head. Dont’t put out into the world an image if yourself and your child that you’re not comfortable with 8 billion people potentially seeing.

      > The man who received the posts said that as he was only sent promotional posts of schoolgirls – there were no boys in school uniform, for example – there appeared to be “an aspect of sexualisation”.

      I wonder what triggered that algo for that man.

      Just a reminder, you don’t own your photos or the rights to your photos on Instagram and Facebook and threads. If they want to use one of your pictures for an ad and place it on a billboard in Times Square they can. It’s in the EULA that everyone accepts.

      > Meta, the $2tn (£1.5tn) company based in Menlo Park, California, said the images did not violate its policies.

      Of course they said that. Not only do they show them on Instagram as cross ads but also prominently display the age in these ‚ads‘. As if being helpful. Meta is just pure evil.

      Outside of whatever is going on with these schoolgirl adverts. Meta products, especially Facebook is just a sewer of AI slop these days. It’s not even subtle. I won’t be surprised to find out that it’s all a racket to hoover up ad money from advertisers who think they are connecting to real people.

      Multiple times, the article refers to the sexualization of the girls involved, but reiterates that they are dressed for school.

      Even if Meta:s behavior gets fixed, it seems like the issue of appropriate dress is still there. Kids shouldn’t be heading to school in outfits that sexualize them.

      Do not put anything online that you wouldn’t nail to a public billboard.
