I think the problem isn't Facebook's invasion of privacy. It's that people don't care about having it invaded.
Yes because they dug this hole along time ago. They're just lying in it and smiling while being buried now. 1995 was a decent time to give a damn, and it looks like a lot of people did. They apparently failed illustrate just how evil a robot can become. Too late to care what Facebook does now. Or the forces working with Facebook, stealing our social identities and emailing them into the future, or whatever is actually going on here. Probably something more bizarre than that, huh.
None of that concerns me either. It is just that people don't seem to care about themselves anymore. They go along with this virtual stuff and lay their identities on the altar next to their already bad self esteem. Then it is up to chaos brewing inside machines to determine their fate. Most people I know are too fragile to use social media, and sadly it is social media that has taken their fragility to a critical point. I'm talking 75% of the people I know should NOT be anywhere near something like social media. They can't distinguish between the oxygenated world and the little fantasy they made while giggling online. It isn't a joke to create another self, and they do it in 5 minutes like it is nothing. Then someone studies it like an insect. Tortures it in some cases.
People should have a say in what their information is used for. And I'll rephrase in reality: people should believe they have a say in what their information is used for. The info will be used any way they damn well please, but some comfort could come in the illusion of SOME kind of regulations. Agree?
Supposedly the robot inside Facebook's evil lair is learning our deepest emotions. That is probably a very troubled little robot and I think they should turn it off before it does something bad in the very near future. We can't even process the emotions inside our own brains properly. Why put that stuff into a robot? Sounds cruel tot he robot if you think about it.
Lots of things bother me about social media but the people themselves are the actual problem. They just don't seem to care like you said. Try bringing this up on social media sometime. Never use your own identity of course, but try it nonetheless. You may notice the difference between laughing because of paralyzing evil, and laughing because something is actually funny.
