I was one of the people that didn’t care Facebook was doing that. I am one of the people who still doesn’t care that TikTok is doing it. I stopped using Facebook because my feed became garbage not because of any kind of privacy concerns. TikTok’s feed has been amazing and consistently feeds me content that I like. History probably repeats itself because a massive body of people don’t care about the things that you care about and are being delivered value that they do care about.

"History probably repeats itself because a massive body of people don’t care about the things that you care about and are being delivered value that they do care about" Yes, it is known that most people do not care about deep stuff, but about food in their belly and beeing good entertained. Panem et circenses. Btw. about the romans, in italy the prime minister is now a person who said she thinks Mussolini was a good politician. So yes, history repeats itself, if too many people do not care. Democracy is actually a quite fragile thing. Many things we take for granted only exist, because people care. And it will erode if people stop caring. So you are still free to submit to FB and TikTok as much as you like and hope this does not change. Because, you know, companies knowing all about you, but you nothing about them and their motives is just a receipe for long term empowerment of them and not you. And in the case of TikTok, there is an actual government behind it and de facto in control, which is not famous for democracy, nor human rights.
