      Mark Zuckerberg: “Yeah so if you ever need info about anyone at Harvard just @ me. I have over 4,000 emails, pictures, addresses, SNS.”

      “What? How’d you manage that one?” a friend asked.

      “People just submitted it,” “I don’t know why. They ‘trust’ me. Dumb fucks.”

        Name address and so on i, well, understand if you buy something online to fill that in. But sns and id??? Thats all kinds of stupid. Why would you give thata willingly to fb? Its not a government entity or even a bank.

      Unfortunately, when we sign up to their EULAs we “willingly” give everything up… So technically it ends up being legally theirs 🥺

        Not quite, but pretty close. You still hold copyrights in anything protected by copyright for example. They just have a perpetual license to use your work. We really ought to be working on laws to protect privacy and limit corp content piracy without explicitly clear opt-ins.

    I’m on Lemmy due to this!

    I literally use this platform just to run from bots and cooperate greed.

      I don’t think the Lemmy is well prepared to handle bots or more sophisticated spam, for now we’re just too small to target. I usually browse by new and see spam staying up for hours even in the biggest communities.
