  3. We could ban people from using social media, but that seems to be a move that is preferred by dictators around the world.

  4. it would be interesting to see what zuckerberg things he is interested in. but he can see what FB thinks he likes whenever he wants… So can you.

  5. They exist, but… “Head over to Instagram’s Access Tool website and go down to the “Privacy and Security” tab. If you scroll down to the bottom of the page, you’ll see the “Ads” heading. Select “Ad Interests” and be prepared to see a whole new world filled with terrifying information about yourself.”

  6. You can do it in Google accounts but its such a faff. Agreed, a simple popup where you list your interests or tick those it guesses would make ads a joy rather than a hinderance. Surprised their super clever and now very RICH ai doesn’t realise this. Come on Sergey, its been 20 years now….

  7. Lol, of all the people to do… “The CEO of virtual reality company Spinifex, is hoping to create a “post-biological” Elton John.”

  8. Interesting. This will need legislation better than we have for clairvoyants who claim to speak to your dead relatives. Granny’s AI might start changing her will after she sees how we behave once really granny is gone. Crazy.

  9. A virtual assistant that could do what I can do would be handy, can I have 50 of them please, not for social networking, but for starting a business or better, lobbying politicians or creating art and literature…. The future is going to be very interesting and by the looks of this link, it’s starting to happen already. Like.

  10. “Facebook released a tool that lets people see how it tracks their “off-Facebook activity.” AHH SO YOU JUST TOLD FACEBOOK YOU ARE TRYING TO SPY BACK – GREAT. GOOD LUCK WITH THAT.

  11. There are some apps, but they are very limited – fact is, Facebook doesn’t let them know ALL the stuff it gathers about your browsing habits, so no app or plugin could really do it.

  12. That would be great, especially if it allowed you to delete info you don’t want it to know. For now there is this… https://www.alphr.com/facebook/1003521/see-everything-facebook-knows-about-you-here-s-how/

  13. lesson 1 stop being negative – followed by 14 other things the author has decide you shouldn’t do on social. They liked new ways of thinking and doing things a while back, when it suited, maybe not now though eh?

  14. Not sure if this exists, but I highly recommend this book.

  15. been in discussion a while. They know people want it at least..

  16. Great documentary but a good point… “It is more than a little ironic that a film that warns incessantly about platforms using misinformation to stoke fear and outrage seems to exist only to stoke fear and outrage — while promoting a distorted view of how those platforms work along the way.”

  17. Some say Facebook got robbed of their data, they are a victim of crime not the perpetrators.

  18. Good idea. Might help undo some of the problems Facebook have with fraud ads and their dubiously hidden nature of using your info to target ads.

  19. Churches are missing a trick or two… Imagine seeing a huge animated Jesus on the trees outside… https://meetingtomorrow.com/blog/9-cool-creative-ways-to-use-a-projector/

  20. I bet YouTube died inside when they realised they HAD to allow popular ad revenue channels to be set as inactive for dead creators.

  21. Yep, I would pay someone to ensure FaceBook didn’t get to own me after death. Just to stick ads on my grave! Christ!!!

  22. I guess this will become part of the service – the priest closes your socials or sets them to family only, or keep live for others to post comments on. I guess for some like this company, its going to be a big part of the service, if people want it to be as they can grab some milestones and images to use in the farewel and give people a link to their relatives digital lives forever more.

  23. Would be a good service, better than being dumped in the digital graveyard with no pomp. Don’t wanna go there….
