- AlexandrB 4mo agoI agree shadow profiles are a huge problem, but I suspect they're not worth much to Meta in terms of revenue. You can't show ads to a shadow profile, for example. Best way to hurt them financially is to just log off.
- reaperducer 4mo agoI suspect they're not worth much to Meta in terms of revenue. I think they're probably worth quite a bit, or Meta wouldn't spend billions acquiring and maintaining the data. And as we know, in the valley there are always more and more customers for data, personal and otherwise.
- metabagel 4mo agoThey didn't say delete your FB account. They just said to stop using it.
- reaperducer 4mo agoYou use Facebook whether you use Facebook, or not. That's how shadow profiles work. This has nothing to do with deleting accounts.
