Each and every Meta product is a data collector. Just letting you know. They will collect your data even if you turned off all the privacy and security options. Once it’s on your phone or their device, it will collect data no mater what.

Meta and Zuckerberg. That inspires confidence. Zuckerberg and his company are motivated by money. He’ll take your data and make money with it.

Like a YouTube family channel montage, making a silly mess in the kitchen baking cookies. But the mom is drunk and on Valium, unknown to the audience.

Wow…everyone reallyyy hates meta. Just wondering what Meta did worse than every other company from Google to Amazon..all services already collecting your info. At least Meta is pushing VR and a Ready Player One experience… I’m in. I’m not interesting enough to care about my data anyway

The Apple Vision Pro Persona shown here seems to be from a very early version, similar to the first-generation Personas. It has improved significantly since then and now looks much more realistic, lifelike, and three-dimensional.
