Sigh, the guy willingly and knowingly uploaded his photo to a social media's AI tool. FAFO. Not news.
Slight difference between playing with a new feature in your app and volunteering to have your image used in targeted ads.
Or maybe there isn't anymore. Maybe just having a phone with a camera automatically means you deserve everything the Mega-Corps do to you.
That is exactly what they think and there is no sympathy around here apparently.
People thinking that everyone should live their life like theirs and no room to enter in at other than already perfect.
Empathy is gone in 2025.
Perhaps I was just* naive but I caught on about Facebook long before Google.
I was massively downvoted elsewhere on Lemmy for suggesting that maybe joking about a suicide victim on the day of their suicide is not something that would be helpful for another suicidal person to see. But you know, fuck me for suggesting people have some thought for other people.
You got downvoted for your tantrum
I see. Two questions:
As a psychic yourself, I'm hoping you can answer 2b.
Go get therapy, you clearly need some mental help. The music in your head is completely disconnected from reality.
You're not a very good psychic.
If Instagram had pulled an image from his phone's storage and then presented him with an ad using it, I'd be outraged.
He uploaded the photo to their platform, which means he loses control of what's done with it.
This isn't new or news. Facebook/Insta/Twitter have been shitty companies for years and years. Stop giving them your data.
The issue isn't that his phone has a camera. The problem is that he uploaded a personal photo to their tool, then got annoyed that they showed him what else could be done with that image using their tool.
I have not uploaded any images to Instagram, and they have not targeted me with any ads. Pretty easy fix. Stop willingly giving these companies your data, and then complain about what they do with it.
You sound so smart.
If not uploading pictures to social media is smart, consider me Albert Einstein!
Conversely, keep uploading your pics to Facebook and Instagram and continue to get mad at what they do with the pictures you've given them.
So edgy too.
Yep. OOP will learn nothing and continue to complain and upload rather than delete the account.
