For a brief moment, I had a a FB/Instagram account for testing purposes. After about a week, Meta started asking to see my face on camera. Needless to say, that experiment hit a brick wall.
I was just following and liking stuff here and there. Didn’t even post anything, but apparently that was suspicious enough for Meta.
A Trump photo in front of the cam.
They thought of that. It has to be a video and you have to move your head around as if you’re setting up face ID. Not creepy at all. Then again, this is Meta we’re talking about, so it shouldn’t come as a surprise.
Okay but now you have to explain the disembodied trump head you hide under your bed.
Only to my lawyer after the police show up with a warrant.
“It’s not what it looks like! I can assure you, our relationship is entirely sexual.”
.
in my experience liking stupid pages, and political news pages, and sometimes giving various reactions to posts helps. did that for a few weeks last year, but decided that this experimentation does not worth my time
