Went into Facebook's source code to update the colors from blue to green and black (don't judge me) and saw this in the console log lol. Didn't know people were that gullible...

I don't understand why people are making a fuss about Facebook.
It's free to use, the amount of users kept increasing (thus the cost of maintenance) yet the company kept getting bigger and bigger. Obviously they're not making all their money off the advertisements on Facebook's own website.
So why are people so surprised that they're "selling" user information?
This is really funny to me. Especially the media joining in saying that it makes all your information available to everybody when they're actually talking about the fact that the majority of Facebook users have their profile set to public and they can be easily found with a simple Google search.
People are so fucking hypocritical it makes me want to puke. If you don't want anybody to know what you posted, just don't fucking post it on a SOCIAL MEDIA in the first place.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that facebook is all flowers and love, they clearly didn't handle this situation well. They could have done something about this whole situation when it started instead of waiting for things to blow out of proportion.
However, people are just being assholes now. I highly doubt that they're reading all chats nor are they sending it over, they're probably just sending out some words you mention often so that it is pertinent for advertisers (ex. If you use the word computer next to buy, then maybe that triggers something). I could talk extensively about it but I'm way too lazy, the point is, they most likely aren't sending the nudes you sent to advertisers because that does not provide any benefits.
If you don't like Facebook, don't fucking use it. Delete your account and shut the fuck up. When you screw up in real life, there's no takesies backsies, why the fuck do people think it doesn't apply online? The government gathers up quite a lot of information on you yet I don't see you crying your eyes out.
Why the fuck do you care so much if an advertisement is tailored to specifically? Yeah, you talked about dildos and now you see dildo ads from Amazon, not happy? Just download adblock and shut up. If you're gullible and the moment you see an ad about single women in your area you click on the ad because you want to get laid right now, that's your problem.
Don't want people knowing about some aspects of your private life? Don't share it online.
Stop acting like people are any better at keeping secrets, I'm sure you had some people leak your secrets at least once, yet I doubt you sued them and you brought them to court.

I'm sorry about this, it's just that Facebook is all over the news and I'm getting sick of it.
Also, I hate facebook, I'm not necessarily defending it, I'm more pissed at the medias for blowing this situation out of proportion.22 -
Losing $27,300.50 to a cryptocurrency scam felt like a ruinous punch to the gut. One moment, I was finalizing what appeared to be a legitimate online purchase, a limited time opportunity endorsed by polished testimonials and a professional looking platform. The website boasted glowing reviews and featured a countdown timer that pressured users to act swiftly. It felt authentic, complete with an SSL certification, a sleek interface, and even a fabricated customer service chat. I transferred my life savings, convinced I had secured a rare investment. The next moment, my funds vanished into the digital abyss. The platform disappeared, replaced by a stark error message. My stomach plummeted. I had been ghosted. The scammers left no trace, only a hollow void where my money once resided. Shame engulfed me. How could I have been so gullible? For days, I spiraled into despair. Sleep eluded me as I fixated on screenshots of the scam site, dissecting every detail I had overlooked the slightly pixelated logo, the overly polished testimonials. The irreversible nature of cryptocurrency transactions taunted me; the anonymity of blockchain offered no solace. My hands trembled at the thought of starting over. But then, a friend intervened. Scammers thrive on silence,” she insisted, her voice resolute. “You must speak up for yourself and others.Reluctantly, I shared my story on Instagram, exposing the scam’s mechanics, the false urgency, the cloned platform. Vulnerability burned within me, but the response was astonishing. Hundreds replied, recounting identical nightmares. One message stood out: Contact PYRAMID HACK SOLUTION Website; https: // pyramidhacksolution. com They’re legitimate. Their website was clinical yet reassuring promising recovery with no upfront fees. Case studies detailed intricate crypto traces and frozen assets. I submitted my information, bracing for yet another potential scam. Instead, a specialist contacted me within hours. Their calm precision anchored me. “We’ll follow the money through layered wallets,” they explained. Scammers bounce crypto through dummy accounts, but patterns will emerge.The process was arduous. PYRAMID HACK SOLUTION collaborated with offshore exchanges, employing forensic tools to map transaction trails. They discovered my case was linked to a syndicate scamming hundreds. Each update chipped away at my despair. Three weeks later, a notification flashed: $27,300.50 reappeared, plus $850 from frozen scammer funds. I sobbed with relief. The specialist later revealed that my case helped dismantle part of the network. Today, I advocate for victims. The scars remain, but so does this truth: silence protects criminals. Speak up and fight back. Recovery is possible, together with Wizard web recovery , you can reclaim what was lost. WhatsApp; +44 741 428 09 142
