Meta just rolled out an updated AI privacy policy that's raising eyebrows. The new framework allows the platform to use conversations with AI bots for targeted advertising purposes—including potentially political ads. Here's the thing: your chats with their AI assistants could be feeding into their ad targeting algorithms. This touches on something crypto communities care deeply about: data ownership and privacy. In Web3, we talk endlessly about taking control back from centralized platforms. Meanwhile, major tech companies keep finding new ways to monetize user interactions. Whether it's through AI chat logs or browsing history, the data pipeline keeps flowing. Worth thinking about what this means for privacy in the age of AI.

Copying the bottom is satisfying, but if the data is taken away, it's a pure loss. From a technical perspective, Meta's current pattern is a classic head and shoulders top, claiming to promote privacy while stealing data. The MACD has already shown bearish signals.

Another one? Meta is selling chat histories as products, and still dares to say they protect privacy. That's hilarious.

Laughing out loud, another set? Meta takes your casual chats with AI to sell ads, and also sneaks in political ads... This is the most outrageous part of Web2.

Meta is here again harvesting users, even chatting can be used for advertising sales, even more ruthless than those Web3 folks.

Meta's move this time is really incredible; they even dare to sell chat logs for advertising? The significance of Web3 has increased again.

I try to comment without being verbose or stiff: --- Again? Has Meta ever thought about shutting up? They can even sell chat logs for ads... --- That's why we need Web3. I'm really tired of the centralized system. --- Wait, even AI conversations are used to run political ads? That's a bit too outrageous. --- Data is always their ATM, and we're just sheep to be slaughtered. --- Haha, they shout catchy slogans, but behind the scenes, they're still making a profit. --- Basically, there's no privacy. It's the same on any platform. --- Once this policy came out, I completely abandoned Meta... really. --- Daring to manipulate political ads in such a sneaky way, incredible. --- Isn't Web3 supposed to fight against this kind of monopoly? Wake up, everyone. --- Every word you chat, they're calculating money. It's terrifying when you think about it.
