You know a lot of young republicans who say their liberal so they don’t get ostracized by their friends, who are looking for any and every excuse to vote how they really want.

Let’s be honest here.

Have you never fucking heard Facebook? That you need to reserve judgement until after they’ve destroyed everything and fucked you over?

like Rupert murdoch came to the US first lol. He’s the cancer behind it all.

Don’t worry we will.

They arent smart, they’re reactionaries

Spuck Fez.

@Aatube

Maybe it’s because every 5 words the interviewer says “you know” or some other filler that distracts and makes you look less professional and intelligent in the eyes of a lot of people, subconsciously or not.

Ok and how is this worse than what Facebook already does? Or TikTok? Or Instagram?

You list all these things as if this new platform is going to be the first and only thing to harvest all your personal data. Like it’s shocking and new and so much worse

How is it worse? It’s the same bullshit. If you already have Facebook, and most do unfortunately, they are already doing that. And I would bet TikTok takes this much and more and has worse actors.

Absolutely. I completely agree. I have Facebook because I have friends and family that basically require I use that to contact them. Never downloaded messager or any other thing. Not that they don’t have everything from Facebook anyway.

But the person I was responding to wasn’t making the point that everything Zuck touches turns to shit and a money grab that torches user experience. Or that they are trying to stop any potential competitor or subsume them.

They’re saying “look at all this data it’s going to harvest!!! Isn’t that INSANE?!?” When it’s literally the same almost every social media app on your phone does/has. There are a ton of arguments against anything zuck touches. Pretending the data harvesting is going to be new or groundbreaking is dishonest. Especially when, as I said, I would bet tiktok does all that and more. And it goes to a much worse actor.

i think we can all agree with everything you said there.

I definitely got the impression from OP that you did not, but I am more than happy to admit I am not perfect, and I can take wrong meanings from things with the best of them.

cause i think we are all saying the same thing - this is fucking horrible, and no one should use any app of platform that harvests data from you this way. I just wanted to make it clear that this level of harvesting is not new. it's not, like, going beyond a new threshold. this is what everyone signs up for when they get tiktok or facebook or even messenger.

we should be angry but not act shocked. you know what i mean?

@Unaware7013

Of course not

Again the whole point of my comment is to express how UNORIGINAL it is what threads is doing

It’s terrible. I want no part of it. But we shouldn’t treat it as a brand new slew of invasions when it is most certainly the same invasions most people happily take.

But OP should make it seem like threads is going to be the first and only app that harvests that much, varied data. That’s dishonest.

But a video is a set thing. A video game has to change dynamically and have a bunch…

Wait

I think I got it?

Are you actually playing the game on the server far away and they’re streaming THAT to you??? Like you’re not playing a streamed game live on your system, you’re playing it on the cloud or wherever and then stream what you’re doing to you?

Is that it?

75% of the posts I see on kbin are the worst low quality meme bullshit, significantly dumber and worse than the horrible stuff on Facebook.

You’re worried that, what? Itll get in the way of the trash everywhere already?

@bennyp

@Odusei

“I don’t really care to know” is your personal mantra. No one is surprised

@EnderWi99in

@Odusei no one gives a fuck about your shitty opinion.

@m0bi13 @edu4rdshl @Arotrios

I am not condoning it happening here. I’m saying it’s really bad that they can see your DMs. And people are trying to brush it off as if it’s no big deal

It’s a HUGE fucking deal. And it’s not acceptable in the slightest. There is a reason I don’t have TikTok or Snapchat or Instagram accounts and have never downloaded the apps. And it’s not because I’m super cool with this stuff.

@snooggums i guess i was the only one that read OP that way. I was trying to say that it's more of the same, that it isn't novel or new, and we shouldn't be surprised. my impression was OP was saying "look at how crazy this is" as in "no one has ever done this before!"

Yeah I think this guy lied to us!

He’s a liar everyone! I bet the earth is actually COLD right now! I mean space is like -270 degrees so maybe we should just let some of that in

@HarkMahlberg

Thanks for proving my exact point. Actually both points.

@shindig1457

Can a non European make use of this. Or do I have to be in Europe to make and register a complaint. I assume there is nothing I can do here but I might as well ask.

@evilviper oh man you know way, way more about this than I do. do you have anything you'd recommend me reading so I could educate myself??i guess I just don't understand how a small PS1 game and a massive PS5 game could stream with the same quality, given the drastic difference in the games.

thank you!!

@Kichae

The OP is trying to make it seem that it’s new and shocking when it clearly is the same shit almost all the other social media apps do. Try reading better or understanding context.

Fucking idiots all over the internet think that once you say one critical thing you’re immediately the enemy. Fucking grow up, kid. Why the fuck do you think I’m here?
