What the fuck. Did they ever consider there may be a reason I don't use those platforms?

I don't have a FB account, I do have LinkedIn which I barely use.

Algorithmic social media is a cancer on society.

I agree. It has also metasticised - facebook will still have a "shadow" profile on you based on what it can infer from the data it collects from others.

[–] absGeekNZ@lemmy.nz 2 points 1 month ago

Exactly right.

There is no way to get rid of the shadow profile.
