In an interview with Vox’s Ezra Klein, Zuckerberg noted that Facebook’s system is capable of detecting “what’s going on” in the Messenger app. He added that when “sensational messages” are found, “We stop those messages from going through.”
Of course, this raised significant questions about the extent to which Facebook monitors its popular chatting app, and later, the company told Bloomberg that although
Messenger conversations are considered private, “Facebook scans them and uses the same tools to prevent abuse there that it does on the social network more generally.”
...
“For example, on Messenger, when you send a photo, our automated systems scan it using photo matching technology to detect known child exploitation imagery or when you send a link, we scan it for malware or viruses,”

At Facebook, “Community Standards” are not set by the community.
They can read mine. I send messages to a nun I had in 7th and 8th grade and prayers and uplifting religious messages to ailing friends and relatives. They are going to be bored.
Duh?
I thought we all knew this stuff already
These voice assistants are just wiretaps listening to everything ,LOL
Seriously.. What else is knew? Common knowledge for over a decade.
I would think this would have been common knowledge. If it’s electronic it can and will be captured by someone.
even the nudie photos I send of myself????
Google is reading this as I type it....
If you use FB and you thought all this crap wasn’t going on from the beginning then you live in the “Stupid” lane of life.
WhatsApp messenger,
Private, encrupted, confidential. Zucker free.
Why is anyone surprised?
We all know that anything that passes through FakeBook is not private.
You want private? Write a letter on paper. Get an email acct at Hushmail (not perfect, but better).
You pretty much gotta have a phone even though the feds are scooping up that info, but FB is optional. Set your privacy settings properly & post or send nothing that you aren’t willing to say in a public place. Don’t post pictures of things with identifying markers - license plates, house numbers, street signs etc.
I share conservative news and views with like minded friends, I post pics of the granddogs (that gets the most likes - they are beautiful), I am a member of a private Suzuki Savage bike group and a private HS alumni group. I post nothing under “public” setting. I do not post on public threads. I click on no news, ads, “you might be interested in this” links etc. There is nothing of consequence in my “about” settings. I also currently live in Ulan Bator and am a self employed ger maker. I don’t think FB is getting anything that’s not already out there.
I use credit cards. The government knows I buy guns, ammo, am a member of the USCC, that I have a carry permit. And so on.
Don’t give away anymore of your info than you have to, but realize that any sort of measurable privacy is gone. And we aren’t getting it back. And we are and will pay a high price for that.
The people warning everyone about Facebook, Google, “Smart” TV’s, etc. over a decade ago were not conspiracy theorists.. They were whistle-blowers!
Sure, it’s supposedly only used against bad guys.. From what we are finding out.. it’s BAD GUYS using it against us for political purposes and Greed!
Please take me off your “selfie nudie picture list”. Lol
:-)
Especially those
I have been putting tape over the cameras on my laptops and tv’s for years. If they read my fake facebook account they will discover that I often make fun of liberals.
It’s amazing how many supposedly smart people don’t know and frankly don’t care.
They think if you did nothing wrong you have nothing to worry about.. boy are they naive.
Yes, Facebook is reading the messages you send through Messenger

and so are the military hackers in China (friends of Zuckerburger’s wife)
ME, TOO! Cellphone, also! The tech who set up my desktop comp years ago said to do it.. shortly after that news broke about hackers spying on people through their computers.
