If you've ever been a wrestling viewer, you might remember two massive guys knows as the Brothers of Destruction. They were the Undertaker and Kane. Just clarifying, this is nothing to do with those individuals and I'm not remotely attempting to defame them in any way. This is a quirky metaphor, nothing more. No disrespect intended.
Now, following on, Google would be a brother of destruction, who would be accompanied with his other brother of destruction. Who is that? Yes, Meta, or previously, Facebook.
Why would I label Meta as a brother of destruction? It's simple. Because they've done absolutely everything possible to ensure maximum intrusiveness and profitability from internet-based software to completely eradicate any potential semblance of privacy. Privacy, as a result of their unending pursuit of data satiability, is now laughed at by the younger generations as something that basically doesn't matter.
Google, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon and indeed Meta have aggressively pushed for more and more access to information. Unifiable intrusiveness, perhaps initially based on the increased revenue from successfully targeted personalised advertisements has resulted in seemingly never sated lusting for more revenue from targeting, advertising impressions and content delivery networks, all attempting to out-muscle each other to show who has the biggest gentleman sausage. Perhaps they're a dysfunctional family of destruction?
Companies buy other companies for market dominance over the other and to eradicate the competition in some cases. And the younger generations, who are now realistically living in hell, laugh it off and are completely convinced that it essentially doesn't matter what you do because there is literally no escape. Every word, every face, every relation, every purchase, everything to do with everything remotely about us, is guzzled up by these ******* to generate relevant content, relevant adverisements and ensure not only advertisers and the corporations understand us, but also the data brokers, scammers, spammers, governments etc. also do.
Meta, like Google, have spun a web of lies about their services being cool and essential, and displaying their marketing and company image as non-threatening and trustworthy, while simultaneously being sued or criticised by intellectuals, academics and investigative journalists for practically every technological infringement imaginable. They've built 'free' services, yes, but the cost is massive. It's bigger because it affects everyone; those that consider themselves not silly enough to get embroiled in it and don't trust those organisations get profiled regardless of not using their apps, their services, their physical technology etc. through stolen biometrics, texts and emails. The ramifications of surveillance capitalism are massive, and because legislation has been lagging behind the technology growth, they're ingrained everywhere like Cancer in our bones.
They've ensured market dominance by controlling the mainstream and labeling themselves as the best and only option. Kept abreast of the 'privacy revolution' by labeling their services as private a surprising number of times. Google labelled Chrome that, as well as their Gmail email provider. Two examples.
Meta have bought Whatsapp to widen their market control and surveillance of individuals for profit. Every message that goes there is swallowed up by Meta for advertising. They acquired Instagram for much the same reason. Countless people unaware or uncaring about the issues due to how pervasive and cancerous surveillance capitalism is. Countless data to exploit; a generation of young people seemingly accepting this intrusiveness as acceptable and suffering the toxicity and pain afterwards. Facebook's ads, from my experience, have always been deeply controversial and far too personalised. They now know more about people than ever and that's a dangerous, dangerous thing.
And Meta, along with Google perpetrated this with unwavering ambition, disrespect and greed.
Meta continue to be sued or criticised for breaches / issues, including:
Cambridge Analytica (around 5.725 billion dollars thus far)
AI breaches
Targeting under 16 year old children with ads despite laws preventing that.
Vulnerabilities in VR affecting children.
Mental health concerns regarding children.
Whatsapp security lapses.
Working on smart glasses that potentially profile anyone in shot.
So, reflecting, Meta are a criminal organisation because they keep doing controversial things, get sued and are strangely able to keep operating as a business considering the unwavering, unending evidence and controversies their greed perpetuates.
