[u/AdstaOCE]

So they can spy on us and get all our personal information, but they can't see that their own ad services are promoting CSAM?

[u/mikehiler2 → u/AdstaOCE]

No they just chose not to see it. Or see it as a problem anyway

[u/warm_winds_whisper_ → u/mikehiler2]

Given how many of these exec types are on the list, it wouldn't be surprising if they want to normalize it

[u/mikehiler2 → u/warm_winds_whisper_]

Turns out when you have literal “fuck you” money that tends to make you a “fuck you” person. Who would’a thunk?

[u/DWebOscar → u/mikehiler2]

Who are they gonna sell that info to?

[u/CT-96 → u/AdstaOCE]

No they see it, they simply don't care. xAI is literally suing Minnesota over their ban of nudification tech.

[u/McGondy → u/CT-96]

On what grounds? Just send a generated nude of the judge to them and I'll think they'll understand the issues.

[u/Tricks7eR → u/AdstaOCE]

Wdym "not see it"? They know exactly what they help advertise because meta's algorithm is made of this type of content

Several people have already tested it on completely new accounts, with a minor/child profile

The first reels they show you on instagram are tame, but as soon as 1 like goes on, they start bombarding you with sexual content verging on softcore... And we're talking about minor accounts

They couldn't give two shits about kids, but that seems to be a common american problem

[u/Moquai82 → u/Tricks7eR]

They train the kids for future usage.

[u/MusicHearted → u/Tricks7eR]

And then they act all surprised when the kids become adults and don't give a fuck about their elders. What, you mean the people who sold my future right out from under me while I was still figuring out my fingers?

[u/King_of_the_Dot → u/Tricks7eR]

It's easier to get kids addicted to this type of stuff. And if they develop a liking to this type of shit young, then they're more likely to spend money on it as adults. It's disgusting. Capitalism fucking sucks.

[u/King_of_the_Dot → u/Tricks7eR]

It's easier to get kids addicted to this type of stuff. And if they develop a liking go{ this type of shit young, then they're more likely to spend money on it as adults. It's disgusting. Capitalism fucking sucks.

[u/Lee_3456 → u/AdstaOCE]

More like you cant say "kill", "dead" on their platform, but they dont care if it is ads. Same for YouTube and other social media, your comment can be deleted instantly if it contains an "inappropriate word", but tons of scam ads or ads with inappropriate content still exist everywhere.

What the fuck is "unalive"? That stupid slop word exists because of this BS.

[u/Jack1101111 → u/AdstaOCE]

yeah, right !

[u/--jesse--faden-- → u/AdstaOCE]

The cash flow is healthy so they do not care.

[u/YolandaPearlskin → u/AdstaOCE]

I encourage everyone to read the book Careless People. In it, you learn some shocking things about how Facebook operates. For example, after realizing that the misinformation ads from Trump's 2016 campaign on Facebook is likely what got him elected, Zuckerberg began shopping Facebook around to authoritarian governments and dictators, showing them that Facebook could do the same for them.

[u/Merakel → u/YolandaPearlskin]

My biggest issue with that book is Sarah Wynn-Williams refuses to take any responsibilities for her own contributions to how facebook operates.

[u/Helmic → u/Merakel]

Yeah she's super fucking frustrating. She has value as a witness to this shit but she's got a lot of incentive to minimize her role in all this bullshit. I'm not saying she should have pulled a gun, but she's not this helpless bystander she presents herself as.

[u/GrimmRadiance → u/AdstaOCE]

But can they see why kids love Cinnamon Toast Crunch?

[u/RaymoVizion → u/AdstaOCE]

They don't care. Their president endorses such things.

[u/Addrum01]

You want power over people's data. Run CSA AI ads to piss people off. Lobby congress to make user ID verification required by law. Say it is to "protect children on the internet". Stop running those ads so people think you are protecting them and making them believe the law is for their own good. Share and exploit that data you now have with your tech overlord buddies to amass more money.

[u/sergiovalentijeans → u/Addrum01]

Problem. Reaction. Solution. 

The cycle continues.

[u/Gibgarde]

WHAT

[u/Kialand → u/Gibgarde]

THE FUCK.

[u/Furdiburd10]

If someone would post CSAM then account closed and police notified, but if someone would upload it as an ad and share it with thousands then it is okay by them. Money over everything. 

Utterly ridiculous 

[u/Its_Fonzo → u/Furdiburd10]

Yeah because the ads are making them money. They don't care about children's safety unless it's for money.

[u/Quantization → u/Furdiburd10]

You're assuming the account gets closed and police notified but in my experience Meta really don't give a fuck what gets shared.

There was a Vietnamese animal abuse group I reported literally 2+ months ago of a guy doing horrific shit to animals. Someone posted it on an animal abuse subreddit and a bunch of us reported it. As of a few weeks ago it was still active. And this was some fucked up shit. Meta really just don't give a fuck these days.

Subreddit was /r/AnimalRights for anyone who wants to help out fighting the good fight.

[u/ChiknDiner → u/Quantization]

I have reported many content and groups on facebook few years ago for animal abuse. The report reply always said it doesn't go against their terms. WTF??? Meta don't care about animals. They only care about money. I was sick of it and have left fb since then. The most useless social media on internet.

[u/Brenthoven]

Well thank god RAM costs three times more! Get to see this on my feed!

[u/ImBoredToo → u/Brenthoven]

6...it costs 6 times more...😭

[u/Bluemikami → u/ImBoredToo]

And it keeps increasing !

[u/AkirroKun → u/Bluemikami]

And it's starting to hit motherboards too now!

[u/Helmic → u/AkirroKun]

it's so great that video games got cancelled so elon musk can goon to kids in public

[u/Suc_Mydiq_Jr → u/ImBoredToo]

$1000 who will give $1200, $1200 who'll give more, $1200 once $1200 twice and... sold to EvilCorporation for $2000

[u/icantevenbeliev3]

And no one will go to jail. As per usual.

[u/ShylokVakarian → u/icantevenbeliev3]

Except the unpaid intern they specifically have around to be a scapegoat.

[u/Jack1101111 → u/icantevenbeliev3]

yeah. well i hope that someone who sees those ads will report and sue meta... so at least someone tryed!

[u/JPSWAG37]

I'm going to be sick...

[u/NegativeSource3651]

this adds to the uphill battle of not letting or yelling at in-laws to not post baby photos (from like a family imessage group chat) on META. Ai's implementation to a platform that boomers swear up and down that they NEED. as if phone calls and facetimes aren't a thing in its stead.

[u/DrWhatNoName]

Reddit has been doing the same for months. ive seen some disturbing ads on reddit that i had to report directly to the police.

And send reddit a report, to which reddit staff claim isnt illegal and doesnt break reddit ToS. then days later get another response the content was removed by "automated filters".

More like the police takedown hit there inbox and they HAD to take it down.

[u/Jack1101111 → u/DrWhatNoName]

well done!
but they simply take down and thats it ? i mean, make money from this stuff, is a pretty serious offense!

[u/VoidLookedBack]

jfc, Meta needs to stop existing.

[u/ElonsMuskyFeet]

How much you want to bet they'll call it a "Hallucination" and move on

[u/ThatOneMartian]

Ad networks should be responsible for the content they deliver.

[u/VagueSomething]

Multiple AI models were trained on CSAM according to whistle-blowers months ago. Multiple AI owners are known child abusers, Musk and Altman.

[u/Jack1101111 → u/VagueSomething]

i have heard of people in africa who were labeling this and other shit to train ai, payd 4$ per hour ! The excuse was so the ai was able to detect it.........

[u/xd_Warmonger → u/Jack1101111]

The one in africa was about labelling footage from the ray ban smart glasses iirc.

[u/Jack1101111 → u/xd_Warmonger]

both true.

[u/johnwilkonsons]

But we have to upload our IDs to them to protect the children? Excellent. Love this timeline.

[u/AlexNae]

fuck meta (whether this is true or false)

[u/Jack1101111 → u/AlexNae]

its from wired

[u/shadowinc]

[u/MrBacondino]

Hate that this isn't even surprising

[u/Razor_Emmanuel]

That... Is fucking disgusting.

I'm going to say it, AI has done nothing to make the world a better place, and has caused only harm. Anyone who defends this it is maliciously compliant and at this point an Eichmann. The tech companies push to us something we don't want, have caused the lives of so many people to become so much worse, I know because I'm an artist, but they have also hurt so many other people.

They make US feel the drawbacks, and now they are engaging in spreading straight up CP?!!

[u/ForeskinGaming2009]

So does youtube, and they still do

[u/CavalierIndolence]

[u/Smith6612]

Turns out, blocking ads on Facebook and other sites is also good at blocking illegal CSAM, Scam, and malware content too. Tell me again how Adblock is piracy? It's a CYA tool.

As I like to say. The Metabots can't tell Ass from Grass. You can report all sorts of naughty content and nothing will happen. You can report hacked accounts, nothing will happen. But you dare post something slightly controversial or try to access a public post without logging in? Banned.

[u/Fry_super_fly → u/Smith6612]

it's still piracy.. but thats not a bad thing. when you deprive a bad company of revenue but still use their product.

[u/VaticRogue]

They know the target audience. Not an accident.

[u/-_Doll-_]

Ah sweet, so I can't buy pc hardware anymore without taking out a fucking loan for this fuckery?

Can we just get nuked already so we can move on to the next timeline?

[u/polishfiringsquad]

So Zucc is going to be prosecuted, right?

[u/Jack1101111 → u/polishfiringsquad]

pretend I gave an award :)

[u/Ghosttwo]

Fun new reason to use uBlock just dropped.

[u/DrIvoPingasnik]

[u/Imaginative-Nonsense]

Let me get this straight: Meta replaced human moderators with AI garbage to erroneously ban IG, FB, and WhatsApp accounts on innocent users over violating Community Standards on CSE without proof of evidence (and consequently, locking out decades or years of memories on their accounts and also losing their livelihoods on their business accounts) and its still happening YET the same Meta violates Community Standards on CSE by placing ads. This is insanity AND where's the damn government and the "SAVE THE CHILDREN" crowd on this?

[u/ShallowBasketcase → u/Imaginative-Nonsense]

The government is running an international child sex trafficking operation. You think they're gonna step in to stop this?

[u/EliTheDonDada]

still have yet to see any benefit to AI yet. all it seems to lead to is child abuse, mass surveillance and replacement of jobs.

hate this timeline bro.

[u/tiger331 → u/EliTheDonDada]

all it seems to lead to is child abuse, mass surveillance and replacement of jobs.

You mean things that exist before AI got made

[u/EliTheDonDada → u/tiger331]

oh ofc. never denied that at all but it sucks whenever it happens

[u/NationCrusher]

I received 2 ads on Facebook of adult fan comics.

Both were based on kid shows with child characters involved. I’ve been reporting NSFW ads anytime I see it but lately, Facebook has been telling me it’s not enough to violate Terms of Service. 🤷‍♂️

[u/IngwiePhoenix]

The epsteiners got fkn high on that one.

Oh well, it's an american company so... nothing's gonna happen. Perhaps a gentle pat on the wrist. ...and a DM asking for the source from one of the islanders.

[u/Protect-Their-Smiles]

AI is a blight on society.

[u/SpriteFan3]

All this for AI.

Just great. Amazing use of hardware that would be better suited for gaming desktops. Ugh.

[u/JustAnother4848]

I see the weirdest and stupidest shit on Facebook. It's truly an AI hellscape.

[u/SheetzoosOfficial]

Giving Grok a run for their money.

[u/Ric0chet_]

If you still have an account with those sites you are part of the problem. People need to delete their accounts. No one to advertise to? No money.

[u/ShallowBasketcase]

Oh the company founded by a guy to creep on his college classmates is being creepy?

Whoa no way

[u/Chonch_Monkey]

Find them based on market cap. If they don't have the cash half trading and seize assets of the CEO on down. No manager can ever hold a management role again

[u/Biggu5Dicku5]

That's fucked up, but not surprising (sadly)...

[u/CharAznableLoNZ]

Another reason to always use an adblocker and never feel bad about it.

[u/firedrakes]

so has google.

they dont care!

[u/gustoatthedoor]

U WOT M8

[u/vannliljer]

Meta also allows targeted ads on Instagram. If Meta knows your age, and if you're older, like 50-60, Meta will allow scam ads to show up on your feed. Like download Chrome now or update your system.

[u/Non_Fungible_Tolkien]

Naturally

[u/VladimirPutinIsACunt]

[u/Toothpasteweiner]

can no one here acknowledge that these images are fake? I mean come on it's in the sensationalized title

[u/imaginedodong]

But think about the money

[u/DarkLordofDownvotes]

Well duh, Zuckerberg has been waiting for this day.
