I originally read it as EVIL/UPDATE.
Anyway, Meta, really? Just to have more of our data? For the absolutely pedestrian explicit purpose of providing more information to advertisers?
This is why I don't buy into conspiracy theories. The truth is typically really boring and predictable - evil corporations will evily corporate.
I half wish for a more exciting villain that would give people a noticeable reason to stand up against - not just annoying people with intrusive ads.
Meta can figure out the information about users that helps it target ads. That’s one of their moats.
Giving advertisers demographic information outright would actually weaken Meta’s moat.
