i’ve been thinking of doing this because i think life gave me a warning sign in the form of a facebook account. lol
i forgot i had created it sometime in the mid aughts and hadn’t used it since then; but upon a recent login, i got an reminder about an event i planned on attending.
i purchased those tickets using my proton email address and the venmo credit card (which was also registered to my proton account) and facebook knew that i was going to that event even though i hadn’t used facebook in (literally) decades and i didn’t know proton was a thing when i last used the facebook account.
@obelix@obelix@lemmy.world this explains why they’re making age verification a thing on both social media and operating systems as well as capturing “rogue” platforms the become sufficiently significant enough like tiktok.
if they can prevent the youth from obtaining information that contradicts the indoctrination they’re getting from their environment; they can control the narrative and discourse in the future.
