Maybe it is in addition to my ad blocker (https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock). Either way, don't surf without them.

My favorite fake animal fact now.

I don't where I heard this, or if it is true, but it has been my favorite (maybe fake) animal fact:

There is a reason the stripes are BLACK and WHITE. One absorbs the light and the other reflects, which in turn makes a slight difference of air temperature right above the skin surface. The difference of temperatures in certain areas cause (slight) differences in air pressure. This can cause a shallow "wind coat" around the Zebra (and more pronounced when the animal is moving) because of the air pressure deltas all over its skin. This helps Zebra's regulate body temperatures in some very hot climates.

1. I am not on FB. I think i made it clear that I do not support their company or product.

2. I do NOT want FB to rank the newsfeed. It should be deleted or ranked by time. The more parts of a social media product handed over to a ranking or search or algorithmic feed, the more chance they have for anti-user patterns: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2018/may/08/social-me...

3. How would a fraudulent account show up on a feed? I'm actually curious. Do they need to be friended first?

I've read a few dystopias centered around technology corporations inserting themselves into the majority of communication and media access.

No thanks.

I was pretty sincere though. Just remove the newsfeed. That's the battleground for your attention and by far the most toxic part of the product.

They get my sweet, sweet data though...right?

Thanks for the catch. Edited my response.

Still is a non answer to me.

FB says they have a problem. FB says the are trying to fix the problem. Still waiting on results.

Looks like a classic non answer to me:

"Some worry that ads create a misalignment of interests between us and people who use our services. I’m often asked if we have an incentive to increase engagement on Facebook because that creates more advertising real estate, even if it’s not in people’s best interests.

We’re very focused on helping people share and connect more, because the purpose of our service is to help people stay in touch with family, friends and communities. But from a business perspective, it’s important that their time is well spent, or they won’t use our services as much over the long term. Clickbait and other junk may drive engagement in the near term, but it would be foolish for us to show this intentionally, because it’s not what people want."

So are you NOT showing that? Seems like FB has the outrage non-story click baits to drive the short term engagement with the "it's the ONLY place where my friends and family communicate" for long term.

EDIT: He says the automated removal can't catch everything. in the following paragraph.

Great, then remove the newsfeed until it can be AI cleaned to NON society destroying levels. Will definitely remove that short term engagement Zuck says he doesn't care about.

I'd rather try to be sold something I don't care about, so I can walk away from that ad.

Sure, if it involves less data collection.

"People consistently tell us that if they’re going to see ads, they want them to be relevant."

I am assuming the "people" he is referencing are the advertisers, not the users.
