The main issue isn’t even the technology itself, it’s that it’s Meta and owned by the Zuck.

I’m sure there are ways to engineer this so the data stays on device and use it for specific scientific purposes exclusively.

There is absolutely.

You'll never appease the shareholders or maintain your ~~quarterly~~ growth that way... ^Trump is pushing to eliminate quarterly reports for public companies, so they may not need to care and can just be evil for the sake of it.^

It's funny how they enshittify it for consumers first, but now aiming spread enshitification to wall street so they can fuck those 401ks even harder.

Capitalism baby!

I'm sure there are but if you see one in public, how would you know? Best just to ban them all.
