Why, what news? What I need to be careful this time?

They don't care about email scraping (which would be illegal)

They simply want people to install the app because it exfiltrates a lot of tasty data to them.

An email might "only" contain ab invisible image to track views and unique links for tracking clicks, while if the user opens the app they way more data.

From the APK I see they can get stuff like

• All the contacts of the user, all email addresses and phone numbers
• GPS location
• Camera and photos
• Microphone
• Your phone number, your device IMEI and your unique advertising id, for cross tracking you better around other sites
• Send push notifications for FOMO promotions like "OMG it's the last one buy now before it gets sold out!!!"

They're pretending that they're still in 2008 where a basic word or letter swap in the copy wouldn't trigger the blocklist.

Facebook 100% knows about those ads and is willing to be complicit in the scams for pure profit.

With the massive datacenters running their useless LLMs there's no way that they couldn't detect those ads.

150k is for a single district, statewide they plan to waste millions on this

But can you imagine if the datacenters also hoarded all the solar panel production capacity through 2028?

Although we would benefit from the dirt cheap panels from the bankruptcy auctions, while almost nobody has use for hbm memory chips

51k€ for the ultra basic trim that doesn't even have air conditioning, 65k€ for the average. Never saw one in real life because if someone needs one for work would buy one of these for A THIRD of the price:

And if someone needs a penises enhancement device would buy a Ford raptor

Did they think what would happen if the gas price goes up and their profitability is completely dependent on that?

I wonder if they did this to appease the EU or just to have a way to prove in court that a specific competitor distilled their model using claude

If I don't like it and there's no way to tell them to never show me irrelevant shit, then, while not technically an ad, it's practically an ad

But if you block ads on Facebook, then what will you read? When I accidentally go to my profile, it's a post from someone I actually follow for every 20 sponsored posts. It's a website to watch ads, then every once of a while your ad viewing session is interrupted by some real content

AND storage...
