I wonder about Google photos...

[–] skisnow@lemmy.ca 1 points 40 minutes ago

I've always obsessively kept my photos off any cloud provider for years only to discover that the entire rest of the family have a treasure trove of fully tagged pictures of me uploaded to every major provider out there. In most cases I think it even ties the tag to my phone/email/birthday entry in their Contacts list.

If you absolutely have to scan a face, apparently this works: nofacescan.app

Don't scan your face for Insta,

The influencers want your polaroid.

Don't scan your face for Twitter,

Elon wants your dogecoin.

Don't scan your face for YouTube,

The vloggers want your shorts.

Don't scan your face for Twitch,

The Slime Ranchers want your plorts.

Meanwhile their CEO loves republicans and supports fascist influencers through money and by meeting up with them for videos.

Fuck Proton.

I get all of them except Roblox? Isn’t that a place for kids?

[–] khanh@lemmy.zip 7 points 4 hours ago

roblox enforces age verification and separates users into age groups. yet, moderation is in shambles (did i mention ai-assisted?) and separating the kids in one bunch and the teenagers in another basically is just a feast for pedos and groomers

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago

Good advice

[–] orca@orcas.enjoying.yachts 69 points 10 hours ago (17 children)

Every single one of those websites is not crucial to existence even remotely. Let’s all collectively show them they don’t matter anymore.

[–] JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Good luck getting the kids off of Roblox. They would literally kill someone for robux.
