There should be a fork for Firefox-based browsers of this, in my opinion. And then into LibreWolf it goes.

"There’s reason to believe the millions of folks now flocking to Meta AI aren’t the early adopters of the technology. The new social feed in the app shows the prompts that countless users have made public. This is the only option, by the way: You can keep your AI habits private or you can choose to share them with the whole world. In exploring her own feed of these prompts, Business Insider’s Katie Notopoulos found people sharing requests for medical advice and help with health insurance bills.

It’s easy to see how some of these posts may have been made in error. When you’re talking to the Meta AI app, there’s a familiar share icon in the upper-right-hand corner of the screen. If you tap it, your only option is a big “POST” button that makes your content public. When you tap it, the app does not warn you that you’re sharing widely. This might be the first time a lot of these users have interacted with a generative AI tool at all.

“Meta is gigantic, and it might be bringing in people who haven’t really played around with ChatGPT or any of the other ones before,” said Thorin Klosowski, the security and privacy activist at the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF). “They’re not really sure about how this stuff works.”

Another problem with the Meta AI, several experts told me, was the fact that there is no way to use Meta AI privately. There’s no incognito mode. In other words, every time you’re interacting with it, Meta AI is recording what you’re saying, and if you’re logged into any of your Meta accounts, it’s adding that conversation to its repository of knowledge about you. Honestly, even if you’re not logged in, there’s a chance the company knows you’re online."

Pinterest’s revenue surged 16% year-over-year, driven by its AI-powered ad tools and a booming Gen Z user base. With 570 million monthly users and new features like Performance+, Pinterest is becoming a serious digital ad contender though it still trails Meta in revenue per user.

"As early as 2017, Wynn-Williams writes, Facebook was exploring ways to expand its ad targeting abilities to thirteen-to-seventeen-year-olds across Facebook and Instagram — a decidedly vulnerable group, often in the throes of adolescent image and social crises.

Though Facebook's ad algorithms are notoriously opaque, in 2017 The Australian alleged that the company had crafted a pitch deck for advertisers bragging that it could exploit "moments of psychological vulnerability" in its users by targeting terms like "worthless," "insecure," "stressed," "defeated," "anxious," "stupid," "useless," and "like a failure."

The social media company likewise tracked when adolescent girls deleted selfies, "so it can serve a beauty ad to them at that moment," according to Wynn-Williams. Other examples of Facebook's ad lechery are said to include the targeting of young mothers based on their emotional state, as well as emotional indexes mapped to racial groups, like a "Hispanic and African American Feeling Fantastic Over-index."

"To me, this type of surveillance and monetization of young teens’ sense of worthlessness feels like a concrete step toward the dystopian future Facebook’s critics had long warned of," Wynn-Williams reflects."
