How much is Facebook tracking you?

Curious to see what will come out of it

Why are people surprised?
People say they don’t want a vaccine of any sorts because it might have a tracking chip in it.
Google, Facebook, Amazon already know more than a tracking chip ever could.

Not only Facebook, but you are also tracked everywhere you go, and even if you don't have your phone with you, they fucking listen to you all the time and know your face, if shit is connected to the internet you are going to get tracked my brother... even cameras of your local supermarket can track you...

FB isn't his only domain. That's the issue.
You're connected to Zuck one way or another

But We all know these three are owned by the same person. Nothing is secure in this digital world

Yes and that person himself uses Signal

Yes and that person himself uses Signal

Yeah and signal isn't going to be what it set out to be much longer I've moved over to Element now

Well I'm from the EU but FB spies the hell out of us. I only use it to arrange friend gatherings to be honest.

However, there have been many cases: a new colleague at work, NOT yet set the new workplace, yet we have worklunch together talk etc. next time I open facebook it will prompt me do u know this person?
We visited a friend, and they had a VERY specific kind of backdrop in their kitchen. We talked about it, told her how we liked that backdrop, what do you know, on my SOs FB ads started to appear for that SAME kind of backdrop
Tons of other instances when we talk about something then we get ads for it

Me and my girlfriend were talking about coding languages on the phone and right as we got off she saw a python coding course in her FB feed lol

I guess this is how Facebook "optimizes" for conversions lol

It's been 2 fucking years now without a response from their support team.

How long do I have to wait for a single reply from their support team??????

Anyone else had issues with long response times?

I get it, but I have to use it to find new clients for my writing agency. Most of my clients were found through Facebook.

But I've been limiting the time I spend on it to just 10 min for every 2 hours. And it helped me to become more productive.

And the date collected here are not that huge too because I'm from a country where Internet is not mainstream yet and people only use Facebook (no other websites or services), so there is not much that Facebook can track or use here.
