Do you really expect us to read the terms of service of the service we use?!
If you want to complain afterwards, yes.

> If you have selected a specific audience for your content or information, we will respect your choice when we use it. To be fair, if they actually honor this promise, and if it means what it sounds like in plain English -- i.e. that if you only posted your photo for friends, only friends can ever see it even if FB uses it for advertising -- that is a halfway decent mitigation of the issue. Not ideal, but then again…
I think you got it backwards. Wouldn't it be way worse if they used your likeness for advertising to your friends? Compared to random people who don't know you?

#133Meta glasses are basically for people who do not care about privacy so this ad promotes that brand perfectly.
Its like designing bad email spam to only get the gullible leads and not the smart people who will smell foul play from miles away.

I understand that I give them permission. That's partly why I'm not a producer of content on those platforms, though I'll consume now and then. But I'll rarely produce text (other than usually a happy birthday now and then), and I'll never produce photos.
But what about the people in my photographs, whether on purpose or not? Did they give permission? That's the part that Meta doesn't really want to address.

I wonder if terms and conditions vary between jurisdictions. I would guess so.
They can definitely be questioned in courts.
Yes, but let us suppose I am a big company.
I have lawyers make up terms and conditions that are really great for me, but which might cause real problems in some specific jurisdiction. Do I serve two terms and conditions or just one and hope I don't get in trouble.
I think once I'm big enough and have expensive lawyers might as well craft the terms appropriate to areas.
But now gets tricky in area A I can say "We have the right to change these terms and conditions unilaterally at any time we wish and you will be bound by the new conditions"
Now someone in area A moves to area B where terms and conditions are not as great for my company, and where you are not allowed to change terms and conditions unilaterally. Maybe I change terms for A to B immediately when they move to B so I don't get problems. But now they move out of B back to A, I probably have to ask them to agree to A conditions again.
Anyway, it is funny wondering just how nefarious these companies are with the terms and conditions.

U a manequin head. Add hair and moles. It mightbtake more than one try but it works. Eventually, people who make shell accounts will be declared creepy child predators, but that isn't the case, yet.
I'm not making a mannequin head to see a restaurant menu.
sounds like a business opportunity!

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.
You can pay for Meta Verified. I think you'll still get banned
I'm getting very tired of this trope. Businesses need to do better. End of story

I cancelled my Instagram account when they added those terms in the early 2010s. At the time it was mostly photographers reading them and closing accounts but it wasn’t exactly a secret.
I get sad because people liked Insta pre-Zuckerberg. Like, it was growing. People seem to couch it in terms of "They had 12 employees. They weren't going anywhere". But they were. Zuckerberg just wanted to enlargen his war chest I refuse to sign up for an Insta. I will not acquiesce to 'lol we're going to put a login wall on every page'

If car mfgs can engross passengers in ToS they may never see; I'd guess yes. At least until someone challenges it.
