In reply to the discussion: Zuckerberg using photos of 13-y.o. schoolgirls to lure men to Threads [View all]Renew Deal
(84,486 posts)69. There are a bunch of issues here
Facebook goes out of it's way to overcome users privacy choices. People choose a more private setting and then Facebook creates a slightly different setting, calls it something else, and turns it on.
It is outrageous that Facebook would use anyone's images for promotional purposes, but especially minors.
The parents deserve some blame too. If the pictures are too provocative for some people to see them, they are too provocative for any people to see them. Anything posted on the internet should be considered public regardless of settings, because you can't control the audience or individual people, including the ones you trust.

Disgusting. But fits with some other things Meta has done that I've posted about on DU.

Zucko will just blame it on a faulty algorithm, or a 'hallucinating' AI.
