Sigh. Yes you are. You have an advertising profile being constantly made about you and updated based on your activity and the ad spaces you see regardless if you watch or not have already been sold and bought by one of these corporations targeting you based on your advertising profile.
Once again, tell me you don’t understand what you are consenting to nor what kinds of information they collect on you without telling me that you are ignorant.
TikTok:
Voyager:
Heya champ. Return the phone back to your parents and attach yourself back on your drip fed brainrot feed and leave the conversation here on decentralized platforms to the adults that do care about freedom from corporate greed and those of us that want to keep our attention spans intact.
Fair, for otherwise free video streaming platform. This stuff is expensive to run.
You’re prompted to give permission to those. You can refuse. For a time TikTok tried their best to ask me for it annoyingly often but it hasn’t for years now. Voyager doesn’t collect anything but almost everything you do through it is public for anyone to use.
Gosh Normies have no concept of how valuable this data is nor how it is an HUGE invasion of privacy and how it absolutely is not a fair exchange for some brain rotting content designed to mimic ads.
If you have the app installed they don’t need that permission. Facebook and co has long since developed ways to bypass that shit. These apps are essentially spyware.
Duh, Lemmy is a public forum. No shit everything you post is public. Thats kinda the point. The stuff I post is what I willingly put out in public. It is not my purchase history, contacts, identifiers, financial information or tracking me cross site to push ads.
It’s not that difficult to see the difference.
My data is valuable so I trade it for streaming video.
Does Facebook still do it after it was exposed?
What I shared with TikTok is worthless compared to what I gave away using ActivityPub and that includes ability to profile me, cross-reference with other identities going back years. On TikTok I’m registered with a throwaway email that can be pinned to my location and behaviour at best.
You underestimate people using things in unintended ways. So does most of big tech too, hence I get to be weirdo on TikTok too.
You have no concept of how shafted you are getting accepting the kind of privacy invasion and harvesting going on if all you are wanting is a brain rotting feed of poorly cropped and recycled content designed to maximize engagement while pushing any agenda the owners want.
Yes, yes of course. Don’t be silly.
Cross reference and target you with ads here on activitypub platforms that don’t have advertising at all…
You also could have used throwaway emails or aliases with decentralized platforms as well… which should be standard practice nowadays anyways. Like using a strong password that’s not some relatives birth date.
What you think you shared and what was harvested are two very very different things and I don’t think you’ll understand or accept that it’s not worth these kinds of security and privacy concerns just to scroll and let an algorithm dumb you down, harvest your data and propagandize you.
Source?
Your Mom after we banged. Now go grab me a beer while I double tap her clit some more. Afterwards go to your room and scroll your brain into mush normie.
I got better things to do than waste the time or the energy to repeatedly explain something to you that you're not going to listen to anyway.
I was making sure you’re not making stuff up because I couldn’t confirm it myself. You expecting someone to do something isn’t exactly the same as them doing it for real.
Bye bye Elon Misk. One day you’ll be a real person too. Just keep defending corporate greed and government propaganda.
