    Meta’s business model has always been surveillance dressed up as connection. Now Muse reportedly wants to build hourly dossiers on people who never even signed up. Friends, family, bystanders: everyone becomes data because one Meta user mentioned them.

    Fuck me, that thing even kinda looks like Bonzi Buddy.

    You know, the thing from 25 years ago that spied on you and you only installed if you were an idiot (I installed it twice).

    Hey, why is Meta using this uncanny valley grimace on xanex as a mascot anyway? I mean, what’s the plan there… He’s creepy.

    Is it really spying if people are giving out all their info freely? I guess the agent with its cutesy demeanor is kind of pressuring people to do that, which is obviously not ok.

    But a different side of this is people just not giving a shit about any of this. And not for the first time. Facebook wouldn’t try this if they didn’t know most people would go for it. Not saying that to justify their actions, but we desperately need people to realise what the outcome of all this is.
