"Ask Meta AI or Search" ... well, no... just search, damn it!

Seeing this text in the WhatsApp search bar - along with the glaring Meta AI logo looming in the corner of my contacts list for weeks already - was the last drop. I am finally deleting WhatsApp (way ahead of my end-of-2025 goal).

Luckily most of my contacts already use Signal , I hope the rest will follow or switch to another non-enshittified messenger.

#Facebook testet derzeit ein Feature, bei dem Nutzer ihre Smartphone-Fotos automatisiert in eine Cloud laden sollen.

Auch unveröffentlichte Bilder!

Laut #Meta diene das dem Erstellen von #Collagen oder KI-gestützten Rückblicken. Wer zustimmt, erlaubt zugleich die Nutzung durch #MetaAI zur Analyse von Gesichtern, Objekten und #Metadaten. Ob die Daten künftig zum #KITraining verwendet werden, bleibt offen.
