I remember when Aaron Swartz was criminally prosecuted for downloading too many academic journal articles, but, sure, it's totally cool to scrape everyone's personal photographs as part of a commercial effort to market discriminatory surveillance tech to police departments.

Facebook...FACE...BOOK.... now META (how much clearer can functional names and the obvious dangers get?) 

@maxkennerly

To the original post, yes but also the stupids who do or don't realise they are uploading to an American company...with all its news and general question narks... uploading or using it with much of their details and life...

and probably they accept it or complain when obviously it's called FACE...BOOK (shock horror if you couldn't see its many meanings until now) or you take candy too easy and complain when your teeth rot.

When FB started people would never have opened the door physically to their house to a person offering them FB... but computers or friends (and yes terms and conditions with a tickbox) have done wonders to get people doing it themselves for some short-term gains but forever long-term bigger dangers...

But it gets better with the new name for FB... .... META... Just genius as a shortest coldest lethal name... or is it still fun with cat pictures and friends... like innocent things right?
