I think of it like radio: I’m forced to listen to the commercials.
I have always just assumed everything I say or do on facebook is “harvested”. Why wouldn’t it be?
Yeah, except the broadcaster doesn’t own your radio for the privilege of listening to their program. Facebook goes way over the top with their “ownership” of your own photos and other data and then they ruin even that by impoosing their “algorithms” to determine what you do and don’t see and who will and won’t see those photos you gave up.
I left FB this year after threatening to do so for a very long time. I am quite glad that I did. I miss very little of it. And stuff like this story tend to just amuse me now.
Still pisses me off that Obama harvested it illegally.
