I wonder if #privacy experts on here have any views on social media platforms bypassing privacy controls and using phone accelerometer data for #ads?

I have Meta apps installed on an empty « burner phone » that is always home. Different Apple ID, etc.

I keep getting Instagram ads for « walking workouts » showing large women my age working out at home. Does Meta think I never leave my place?!?

(For the record, I average 10k+ steps daily and if anything I’m slightly underweight) 🤔

Fuck yeah I'm blocking ads now and forever. I also use VPN, Tor, NextDNS filtering etc. and I do not appreciate your tone here, sir. I value my privacy and mental health.

Can we please stop these desperate and annoying money-begging tactics?

My "Detect Missing Adblocker" WordPress plugin is now in active use on 70+ websites!

Do you know how to make a page element look like an ad to various privacy and ad-blocking tools?

I could use your help!

🇬🇧 I haven't seen such a complete "advertisement" in a long time. One that would make me want to watch it, that I find visually appealing, whose message is clear and concise, and at the same time, it can shock a few times if we are the type of person the spot talks about. Highly recommended!

🇵🇱 Dawno już nie widziałam "reklamy" tak kompletnej. Która sprawiałaby, że chcę ją oglądać, która podoba mi się wizualnie, której przekaz jest jasny i klarowny, a jednocześnie parę razy potrafi zaszokować, jeżeli jesteśmy typem człowieka, o którym ten spot mówi. Bardzo polecam!

What's the problem with #ads and #advertisement?

  • ads are information
  • ads are intentionally incorrect and misleading
  • ads are ubiquitous available information, to the point of being actively PUSHED onto every human reachable.
  • for many people who don't actively seek other sources, it is the main source of information.

That"s not a good basis for a #democracy where informed citizens are supposed to make good decisions.

This ad is really smart and well-done, challenging our assumptions about what people with Down Syndrome can do, and maybe that our assumptions are limiting them (surely true in many other cases too).

I’m horrified right now to see that #Youtube is becoming more of a paid disinformation catapult.

Was it always like that and I just didn’t see it because my ad-blocker blocked the disinformation away?

EDIT: The really not fun part about this is that the video in question warns against promoted posts with climate denial:

Holy! Shit! That was the bottom of the barrel.

A recruiter contacted me on LinkedIn and asked me to fill a form with some information about my skills.

Only, instead of a direct link, he gave a link to a redirector. With ads...

WITH! BLOODY! ADS!

Sorry, mate. I'm not that desperate. You and your company are on my shitlist. If you're willing to violate my trust from the get go, imagine if I took the job...

Ads on websites get slated for very good reason.

Hopefully you will agree not all ads are created equal and see why we run them on our site.

Writing this in English for longer reach.

Apparently the app suite from Simple Mobile Tool on Android has been sold to an AdFarm company. All the apps now seem to have massive tracking, several of them now require you to pay (even if you have bought the "Pro" version earlier) while the rest have, of course, ads. So my calculator now require internet access and uses several seconds to load.

I've uninstalled all my apps from Simple.
