WAT?! You're telling me there has been a team at Facebook designing and implementing this feature, and not one person has stood up and asked:"Uhm, isn't that super creepy, even for us?"

@fribbledom Sounds a bit like a prequel to “Minority Report”, doesn’t it?

@fribbledom I think that all the people potentially thinking that have already left Facebook.

@brianoflondon haha, no, but I don't think I have written very much about getting engaged on Facebook. I rarely use Facebook other than ~2 groups I'm in that I like to read (but rarely write).

@martin The "I rarely use Facebook other than" kind of people probably make up 90% of Facebook users. Pull the plug already.

@fribbledom since when did Facebook management have any clue of what "creepy" means? the guy who started the company was literally collecting pictures of coeds without their permission to put on a website for guys to gawk at them, and then he turned it into a personal data collecting site and openly admitted to that intent in a chat conversation.

@fribbledom You should hear what Target does. Read “The Power of Habit” by Charles Duhigg. Written about a decade ago and talks about how they targeted pregnant women by their purchase habits and sent coupons accordingly, mixed with other things to not be obvious. Because they knew it was creepy.

@fribbledom not necessarily. more like, "can we extract tsome generic categories from statuses, for, you know, statistics" and chuck it into a database. the other team is like "can you find some 3 generic categories based on an arbitrary rule and do an action based on it", and the third team "can you build a web app that just searches some generic categories and you know, lets you create some rules based on it" and all. Still there has to have been a mastermind + head only goes so deep in the sand.

@zladuric This is where a privacy review team steps in and does more than just "add a link to our data policy, please". Also UX folks. Also user trust people.Even this view, "it's normal to go online to beg your friends, acquaintances, work colleagues and maybe even your boss for money to go on a honeymoon", feels mildly sociopathic to me and someone should have caught it.But that way you can't monetize the portion of the population that'll think this is normal.@fribbledom

@fribbledom Someone who stands up and says that gets fired, and then there's one less to do so for the next creepy feature. There've been so many creepy features that this process has reached its natural conclusion.

Facebook is very, very creepy and we've known that years. And for those that forget it, there are some scandals and investigations every year. So the real question is: what the f*** are people still doing on Facebook?People aren't lemmings, right? I am the living prove that the world keeps turning once you leave Facebook, and that you can still lead a happy, fulfilling life without WhatsApp.

@fribbledom Is that real, or a joke? It's almost like that stunt Signal pulled with the ads they made to expose how much Facebook knows and uses about people. Maybe Facebook figured that the cat's out of the bag so they just run with it now.Could also be part of a strategy to gradually make people think "it's actually good that Facebook knows everything about me, then Facebook can help me in so many nice ways like this".

@fribbledom To be fair they also advertised adult diapers to me, and when I told it to not show that one of the potential reasons to decline those ads was "Knows too much."

@fribbledom @aral this is nothing. Target recommended pregnancy related stuff to a woman before she knew she was pregnant. Big data FTW.

@jaranta A+Nob, all the people *potentially thinking* have already left Facebook… or maybe they would'nt even pass the hiring interview, cause they're not (or not enough) unethical psycho bastards who are totally unable to question "orders"…How can these people sleep at night, after spending their workdays doing creepy, intrusive crap and helping to build a mass surveillance system?@fribbledom

@devnull @jaranta @fribbledom That's tech bro culture for you. "Isn't this a bad idea?" is a question that simply doesn't have any sort of meaning to it. You might as well ask them "Why is purple?" They'll look at you like you're crazy.

@fribbledom when Apple and Google, who are both super-creepy, start to distance themselves from some of Facebook's activities, you can pretty much guess what level of creepy it has moved down to... 😳
