Meta just rolled out a significant shift in how it handles AI and privacy. Here's the thing—the new policy opens the door to targeted advertising, including political ads, directly based on your conversations with bots on their platform.

This raises some serious questions. Your chat data, previously treated as more private territory, can now be leveraged for ad targeting. We're not just talking about regular product recommendations here. Political advertising gets the green light too.

For anyone who cares about privacy, this is worth paying attention to. The implications go beyond Meta—this signals how major platforms are rethinking the relationship between AI interactions and user profiling. It's a reminder that in 2025, your conversations are increasingly valuable data points, regardless of who (or what) you're talking to.

Here comes another data harvest, really, Meta's moves are just brilliant. --- Privacy? That thing was worthless by 2025. Wake up, everyone. --- They dare to insert political ads into conversations, this is going too far. --- They even want to sell ad space using chat logs. These big companies really have no bottom line. --- Are you still using Meta's bot? What's the point... --- Wait, do you think chatting with AI is private? Hahaha, I gave up long ago. --- Data is the new oil, we're all mines. That's nothing new. --- So I found out why I'm constantly fed political ads... --- Totally expected, just didn't think it would happen so soon.

Honestly They even dare to include political ads, there's really no bottom line anymore I've known it would be like this for a long time, data is the new oil, brother Meta: Your conversations are valuable, we help you monetize them It's already 2025 and you're still worried about privacy? Wake up, everyone If this gets out, it'll blow up; political ads should not cross the line

Here we go again, Meta's tricks are becoming more obvious --- Privacy has been gone for a long time, don't bother worrying about it --- Using chat data for targeted advertising? That's outrageous, they even dare to sell political ads --- Still hoping for privacy in 2025? Dream on --- It's incredible, even bot chats are being used to sell ads, this is the true meaning of Web3 --- I stopped believing Meta's "privacy promises" a long time ago, it's only a matter of time --- Wow, chat records can also be used for political ads, isn't there any law regulating this?

Oh my, here comes another sheep shearing, chat records can even be sold as ad space --- Meta's move is really brilliant, privacy is gone just like that --- Same old story, anyway the data no longer belongs to us --- Wait, even conversations with bots are to be exploited? Where's the privacy in that? --- Political ads are directly calling out the hypocrisy, this is the problem Web3 needs to solve --- Damn, how am I supposed to chat properly when every move is money? --- If I had known earlier, I would have put everything on-chain, at least I would have control --- Is that all? Meta's just got this much creativity, just changing the method to harvest users --- I just want to ask, which platform truly cares about privacy?

Basically, Meta is starting to sell your privacy again, and this time they won't even spare AI chat records.

Oh no, Meta's recent moves are really ruthless. They've truly taken our chat history as a gold mine. --- Here we go again, cutting leeks. Even chatting can be targeted with political ads. Privacy is indeed a joke. --- So the "privacy" mentioned before is actually just a cover. Wake up, everyone. --- It's 2025, and you're still hoping internet companies respect privacy? Dream on. --- Now it's all good. Anything you think of can be precisely pushed to you. No wonder it feels like we're being seen through more and more. --- Meta's sneaky move: treating chat data as an advertising arsenal. Classic. --- To put it simply, the more we use it, the more thoroughly we're understood. No solution. --- Why is it always the same story? Traffic for privacy—an eternal business classic. --- Political ads are here. Does this count as a form of "personality manipulation"?

Here we go again. I've seen through Meta's tricks long ago—using chat records to run political ads? Just sell privacy as a commodity.
