Hey, why is Meta using this uncanny valley grimace on xanex as a mascot anyway? I mean, what's the plan there... He's creepy.

Meta’s business model has always been surveillance dressed up as connection. Now Muse reportedly wants to build hourly dossiers on people who never even signed up. Friends, family, bystanders: everyone becomes data because one Meta user mentioned them.

Five years ago I would have cared. These days I simply assume and accept that if I go online I abandon all hopes of privacy. It's a trade-off - they know that I like blonde roast coffee....I get to my preferred products faster. My days of tinfoil-hats are over but to each his own of course.
