Ook ik sta namelijk nog steeds in tig adresboeken.</p><p>&lt;cynisme aan&gt;<br>(niet opnemen in je afscheidsappje!)<br>Maar gelukkig zijn mensen niet zo stom dat ze, met z'n allen, doorgaan met het opwarmen van de aarde, bijvoorbeeld omdat de buurman dat allemaal maar onzin vindt, of dat zij RECHT vinden te hebben op vliegvakanties.</p><p>We zijn toch ook niet zo stom, om als Lemmings, allemaal achter onze voorgangers aan een ravijn in te rennen?<br>&lt;cynisme uit&gt;</p><p>Meta misbruikt die informatie om te weten wie wie kent. In HUN voordeel en in ONS nadeel. Jij bent het product dat zij verkopen of anderszins uitmelken.</p><p>Meta verzamelt de interesses van minstens enkelen van hen (met overeenkomende contacten) - op basis van allerlei bronnen (chats zijn E2EE, dus elders op internet - FB, Insta etc).</p><p>Aan de hand daarvan schat Meta in om wat voor "types" het bij de rest gaat (in welke "cirkels" zij verkeren, denk aan inkomensniveau en politieke voorkeuren, waaronder abortusrecht en euthanasie).</p><p>Om vervolgens, m.b.v. allerlei steeds "slimmere" algoritmes, de wijze vast te stellen waarop die voorkeuren (zie bijv. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cambridge_Analytica" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cambridg</span><span class="invisible">e_Analytica</span></a>) het effectiefst kunnen worden "gecorrigeerd".</p><p>Ja, zo ver gaat dat echt. Ook weten wie wie kent is big business. Wie denk je dat de gigantische ICT infrastructuur voor WhatsApp (uiteindelijk) betaalt?</p><p>P.S. denk ook eens aan Threema (kost eenmalig een paar Euro, met Zwitserse i.p.v. Amerikaanse roots). Ik ben slechts gebruiker daarvan en heb verder geen enkel belang bij deze "advertorial".</p><p>D.w.z. anders dan dat ik voor diversiteit pleit: het houdt makers scherp en hopelijk is het aantal "slachtoffers" kleiner bij een catastrofe (je hebt dan waarschijnlijk een uitwijk).</p><p>Een alternatieve app, als anderen die ook gebruiken, is ook handig als je een nepbericht ontvangt van een zogenaamd in geldnood verkerende zoon of dochter.
