However today I found out that my ex-profile does still appear in chat lists of my former contacts. Its not visible to them, that I am not on WhatsApp anymore. They even still can send me messages (who knows where these messages go to...).<br>Question: is there a way to make my former profile disappearing?<br>Also I wonder whether Meta still can use my data to do their dirty business.<br>Any thoughts?</p>
wendivibe<p>Finished Careless People last night. It’s a really compelling read, continually surprising and horrifying. The author is certainly complicit by her involvement and naïveté, but at least she gave us this view from the inside. Definitely recommend. <br><a href="https://beige.party/tags/CarelessPeople" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CarelessPeople</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Facebook" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Facebook</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/deleteFacebook" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>deleteFacebook</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/deleteMeta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>deleteMeta</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/LeaveMeta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LeaveMeta</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Meta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Meta</span></a></p>
Ian Rose<p>Have you published a book? Here's how to check if Meta stole it for their dumb AI. Literally every traditionally published author I could think of is here. </p><p>I guess there's one upside to me not publishing a book yet, but it's not super consoling. </p><p><a href="https://scicomm.xyz/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>books</span></a> <a href="https://scicomm.xyz/tags/plagiarism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>plagiarism</span></a> <a href="https://scicomm.xyz/tags/ai" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ai</span></a> <a href="https://scicomm.xyz/tags/LeaveMeta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LeaveMeta</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2025/03/search-libgen-data-set/682094/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">theatlantic.com/technology/arc</span><span class="invisible">hive/2025/03/search-libgen-data-set/682094/</span></a></p>
Ika Makimaki<p>Having The Chat™ with my mom today (about leaving WhatsApp):</p><p>*It's OK I don't really care. I'm an old woman who has nothing to hide. I say nothing sensitive.<br>-Mum, you talk to me.<br>*Yes.<br>-And I'm currently employed as an environmental activist, right?<br>*Yes. <br>-So everytime you ask "How's work?" that's now a sensitive and potentially targeted communication. <br>*Ohhhh. </p><p>She got it and is on board now. <br>The rest of the family might be a tougher ask. </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/leaveMeta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>leaveMeta</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/quitMeta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>quitMeta</span></a></p>
