Großartiger Marketing-Stunt vom Messenger-Dienst Signal, der gerade zurecht rumgereicht wird: Signal wollte demnach auf Instagram Anzeigen schalten, die den Detailgrad der Datenerfassung von Nutzern für diese sichtbar machen sollte. Was Instagram-Besitzer Facebook natürlich nicht erlaubte…
The way most of the internet works today would be considered intolerable if translated into comprehensible real world analogs, but it endures because it is invisible.
Facebook is more than willing to sell visibility into people’s lives, unless it’s to tell people about how their data is being used. Being transparent about how ads use people’s data is apparently enough to get banned; in Facebook’s world, the only acceptable usage is to hide what you’re doing from your audience.
