OMG. This is just brilliant on so many levels. It's not just subversive against FB's rules but also can be the start of some kind of art project as a statement about what tech companies know about us. But the project itself gives us a choice in what is shown to others whereas FB doesn't give us that choice when selling the info to advertisers. It'll probably get shut down real quick by FB though once they know about this.
Edited: as my sibling comment mentioned, I too would buy one of these shirts.
- disgruntledphd2 5y agoThis has existed since 2014, in embryonic form. The exploit was that FB put your name in the public response from the Graph API. I remember discovering that, saying that might be abusable, and moved on with my life. About a year later, I started getting oddly specific t-shirts like all <last names> do <x good>.

- spamalot159 5y agoI would buy one that describes the total opposite of me and watch the confusion on people's faces. I so wish this was a thing but I doubt Facebook would allow using their graph for this kind of marketing.
- rchaud 5y agoA crude version of this exists: https://www.reddit.com/r/TargetedShirts/ https://www.reddit.com/r/TargetedShirts/ Except this is Tshirt manufacturers coming up with generic slogans on Tshirt ads that correspond to your interests.
