One could genuinely wonder whether Facebook and Instagram are scams themselves, if you ask me.
heathrow83829•2mo ago
a company gives you a free social platform and doesn't ask you to pay single penny and allows you to use it completely on your own terms. any and all info you share you do so of your own choice, nothing is required of you. and you think it's a scam? what part is scammy?
vovavili•2mo ago
Instagram to me feels more like a Skinner box hyper-tuned by hundreds of PhDs and machine learning specialists to be unreasonably addictive. Though of course there is value in the platform, the service being free is how they hook you into spending time on it way past the reasonable daily threshold.

> allows you to use it completely on your own terms

Are you being serious here? Do you have the smallest idea how those products work? Like how they are happy to show illegal ads, knowing that it brings more profit than the fines they will anyway probably not get? Like the documented impact it has on society?

Do you consider that "they track everything you (and everybody else) do, many times in downright illegal ways, in order to manipulate you (and everybody else)" counts as "completely on your own terms"?

It's called "surveillance capitalism", it's not meant to sound good.

>[…] allows you to use it completely on your own terms.

It doesn't. You use Facebook and Instagram on Meta's terms. I can't use them without viewing reels, for example, neither defaulting them to a chronological timeline.

There's a bunch of damning stuff in the report, but this is the smoking gun:

"The team tasked with vetting fraudulent ads had a guideline not to impact more than 0.15% of Meta’s revenue — roughly US$135 million of US$90 billion in H1 2025.

There's clear line in the sand drawn where Meta prioritizes revenue despite knowingly harming people. This company should be dismantled.
