Sex, Lies, and Meta
Meta's glasses - Continuing to trample privacy
You’re welcome to come in and sit down, but you must leave your glasses outside. When you rebrand a company as big as Facebook, generally it’s because you’ve so trampled your own reputation that you’re trying to shed that skin. Unfortunately, that doesn’t mean the serpent beneath has changed. Svenska Dagbladet and Göteborgs-Posten have just completed an investigation into what happens behind the glass of Meta’s glasses in Nairobi, Kenya. The results of which might shock many people. Unfortunately, I’m not one of them.
I have worn glasses since about 9th grade. I was told that if I wore them regularly my vision would deteriorate far less than if I only wore them at certain times. This proved to be great advice; advice which I’ve followed since. To tell the truth, I like wearing glasses now. I have a giant pale orb of a head and glasses provide some needed character as well as generally keep random objects out of my eyes So almost first thing in the morning I put on my glasses and take them off just before going to sleep.
I see the world through my glasses and they accompany me in nearly everything I experience. I know this. This and my profound understanding of how untrustworthy Facebook is are why I cannot imagine why people would use these products. This is not news to most that know me.
So I’m curious. Why would would anyone?
