A new disclosure reveals Instagram owner Meta spent more than ever on lobbing Congress and the White House as legislation to potentially ban its competitor, TikTok, was drawn up and passed.
Yes. Messenger collects detailed information about every device on every WiFi network you connect to, including MAC addresses, IP addresses, OS and version, device names, open ports, duration of DHCP lease on each device, and much more. It does this every time you open the app, and on every WiFi network you connect to.
Social network platforms have corporate controlled algorithms designed to maximize addiction. At the very least, you would need a “friend” system and who the fuck follows each other on here? When I was using reddit, one person followed me and it was a bot.
One where you can use any server and client you wish, as long as it implements the same freely-available spec. You can probably access the source code of the server and client you’re using.
As with many things: the problem is not the technology itself, but the terms that capital owners demand we accept in order to use it.
Shit, we should also ban insta, fb, and google places while we’re at it.
Don’t tempt me with a good time.
Actually, be very tempted please! Get 'm!

I used to say those same things, now I basically just keep messenger as a job requirement but the rest of it can F off
marketplace is nothing but spam and scam, and those “friends” the only ones I care to talk to, use discord, or regular phone text
Isn’t messenger app the worst of them all?

Source for this? I don’t doubt it but would love to be able to reference something.

We are on a social network platform too?
Not really. It’s just a fancy forum.
