Why am I thinking the only people asking the AI questions are bored adults and the kids are all getting their info from porn sites like normal teens and tweens? What sick twisted teen goes to meta for dating help? Shouldn't we direct them to some professional psychiatrists if they do?
Social media companies could teach big tobacco and the gambling industry a thing or two about designing products to be addictive.
I wouldn't think highly of a site that had an explicit or implicit "plastic surgery" filter myself. But probably some of these AI image generators already accept prompts like "this picture of me but with bigger boobs" anyway.
Fascist Biden administration. If it were Trump, it would be all over the news and multiple posts here .
This does not seem to be the use of facebook itself which is a relief. It seems that facebook offered up a VPN that would have stepped in before encryption was applied to internet packets and sent the info on other apps back to facebook. This would be something you would want to worry about with any VPN out there as Data sales are so profitable, and the encryption on packets over the internet is applied at a level close to the network and not in the higher levcels of the OS where the VPN programs would be able to get to it while running on your machine. In other words, make sure it is a third party VPN and one from a company that is not involved in data sales like facebook is. Recognize any VPN software is runjning on your computer in unencrypted spaces. I would not trust6 any VPN that was made by FB, Twitter, Walmart, the government, or anyone that wasn't transparent about who they get funding from. Even free VPNs are going to try and stay in existence through some form of funding and are open to the temptation of data sales. Pay for your VPN, and watch who you are paying for the service.
