Facebook are greedy as heck!

Cover

After a few hours of phone calls and a visit from the commune, I visited the Swedish news pages I always visit every day. On both of them, I found out that Facebook are trying to own your life even more by adding ads in already paid games for Oculus Guest. They are also making a podcast that you can add to your Facebook page.

The fact that Facebook are trying to own your life even more than they do today by adding more services to both Facebook and to their products, are not surprising. It is known that the founder of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, tries to care about his privacy online (source). It is also known that he demands others to let their lives be in his own hands via Facebook (source... isn't that obvious already?).

On one of these Swedish news pages I read today, they said that Facebook will add podcasts to the website. They also said that the VR set Oculus Quest will also show ads for the users, even if you have already given the developers money by purchasing the game (source). My question to them are, why? Why would you show ads in games that someone have bought? What is the exact purpose for the ads to be there, more than be able to control your users?

Facebook are known to not caring about your privacy, and they have been sued repeatably for that, but they simply don't care.

On the other Swedish news page had an article that said that Facebook will start its own podcast service. Again, why? Spotify has one. Apple has one too. Why Facebook too? For money? Nope. For more control over your life? Yes. Let me explain. Facebook adds a tracking code to all images on their websites, so they can monitor the spread of an image no matter where that image will be on the internet (source). Why? To get more control over the situation, and it is disgusting!

If you add a podcast to your Facebook page, and you discuss podcasts with your friends, Facebook will know more about you. You shall not feed the pig in the room.

@edgren I love this: You shall not feed the pig in the room. :-P

@edgren yep, it’s a shame. No amount of money is enough for the tech giants. If only they were run as non-profits 🤔

@scylla Hehe, well, it's true, isn't it? 😊

@riddian If only they were open sourced and honest! That would be much better than non-profit 😉
