When you don't pay for the product... YOU are the product.

The XKCD for this exact scenario is 14 years old.

Kind of a stretch, these days can't imagine anyone that views instagram as a place to store their cherished photos also.

Yeah, and then the charging businesses start selling your stuff anyway. So really, it's the comic creator, who is naive.

Some reason that strip doesn't load for me.

It is just saying that if you don't pay for something, you are the product. I think it still fits well here.

Should have read the terms and conditions

What percentage of people read those? They’re even unitelligible to the layman.

As horrible as it sounds.

For the median user, It really is impossible to have an alternative to instagram / whatsapp / facebook. It is so easy to live in a bubble and say I'll host my own things. but a totally different thing to have a functioning network effects machine.

why are people using these products exactly?

signing away their rights to their photos? making psychopaths filthy rich?

if the surveillance glasses are coming, these people will also have signed away the commons, which are not theirs to give away

The surveillance glasses are nearing 3rd gen.

You'd know that if you used social media /s

I don't know what's worse - this, or all the ads/commercials for Meta Glasses featuring Kylie Jenner, like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2yYQO8exxaU

i edited it to the same url before opening as i usually do for twitter urls so that i can see the full conversation without being logged into twitter.

for some reason the url rewrote iteself to this: https://themenspiegel.click/c/de/52_merzchrupalla/?method=po...

which is a german language scam site. i have no explanation how this happened, whether it is xcancel.com doing this or something loaded from twitter that caused xcancel to do this. never seen anythin like it before, would like to know more.

btw any further reloads of the xcancel url to that tweet totally work as expected.

Throwing an additional anecdote into the bucket, this did not happen for me. Any chance you have a dodgy extension installed?

Sure you didn't just make a typo and hit a squatted domain?
kuschkufan 3 hours ago||
did not think of that, maybe it's this. i tried a couple typos just now and holy shit most of these are registered and you land on some really dodgy shit, i.e. porn and sites that seem to try out browser exploits. did not find the scam site from earlier, but can't count it out either.

do not go to sites like xancel.com, xcancl.com, xcncl.com .. they are not safe. damn typoswatters.

Doubt. xcancel.com does not even seem to have any advertisements at all, when I disable ublock. Site seems remarkable clean, no thirdparty connections apart from a cdn. Sure you didn't type cancelx.com? Cause there something shady is going on. Otherwise, I would strongly suggest checking your extensions or system for malware.

I mean, what would you expect from company with morality of tobacco and slot machines producer? This is the least evil they are doing.

This thing resurface from time to time. It's the small text you never read. In this case, small part in ridiculously and intentionally big eula.

I am surprised with the downvotes. Meta is the new tobacco corp.
