- On December 6, Facebook was sued for its role in facilitating the genocide of Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar.
The Facebook Papers revealed how the company chased profits - often at the expense of safety.
So can we trust Mark Zuckerberg’s metaverse won't become a tool for misinformation and surveillance?

Whoever bullied this dude in high school please just apologize. He's off the rails.

Lmao
We should send him some kidney’s.
The fact the youtube no longer shows dislikes is pissing me off immensely. It's really hard for people to determine whether a video is causing contention or not, which is actually important.
Agreed. If people have a sensitivity to a number of dislikes, then they need to reevaluate things. What is the purpose of avoiding reality?
Google is into the propaganda business too now. Every tech company is getting into propaganda sooner or later.
Yeah. All or nothing. Its so annoying. Would rather have neither than without the one, its so important.
For sure
Hear hear!
The core of the problem is Facebook needs the information bubble in order to maximise monetisation from online presence. Unless you drastically change the underlying algorithm, no amount of policing will help. This change would automatically halve the company's revenue, which is why it will never happen.
Thank u never give up hope
Blaming Facebook for people’s body image issues and depression is like blaming the liquor store owner for a drunk driving accident. What you do with the product is up to you.
you are a d u m b person ... humans are s t u p i d they consume whatever the s a t a n i c s put in front of them they dont have inteligence to understand what is going on ... they think is cool ....
It's insane how the most poorly socialized, emotionally unavailable people of our society are setting the standards for human interaction.
Because poorly socialized people are focused on working, not talking
@@gijane2cantwaittoseeyou203 that’s right. The “””poorly””” socialized people are the ones studying human interactions so they can make great things before the “””normal””” people even know they want it. I somewhat feel bad that people’s natural reaction to Meta is to compare it to dystopia when it’s all about execution.
Let’s hope Facebook are filled with nerds smart enough to pull this off. I’m honestly tired of going to the office for work everyday. Hopefully Meta can change that.
But I bet you use every single social media platform that those antisocial people created 🥴🙄
Have you noticed the obsession of Mark with "connecting" people? You don't need to be a doctor in psychology to see a projection, he doesn't;t know how to do it.
@@ClaireLoprensa Isnt working from home more common now. Is there any good reason management will not allow you to work from home?
I mean, Mark could just grab his millions and live a proper life filled with hobbies and joy. But he chooses to turn the world into a dystopian sci-fi society. Thanks man.
like fr. If I ever get the chance to talk to him I'd just ask him one question, when is enough, enough?
It’s possible that it’s not just about the money for him. I know I personally dreamed of becoming a billionaire for a long time, but if I had I would have used most of the money for social change. It wasn’t about the money for me, but about (a) the creation of it, or more specifically, the creation of products and services that were adopted widely enough to earn that kind of money, and (b) the good that I could do with the money.
Am I saying that’s the case in Zuck’s case? Not at all. Just saying it MIGHT be about more than the money for him. There might be excitement in the building itself.
@@tarabooartarmy3654 he lives a parasitic live , he was man with questionable morals but this world has given him everything and now he will turn it into dust
@@kidpog3d101 he is with Gates / Soros / Schwab / Rothschilds part of the parasites that need to end in prison instead of julian Assange . He will eventually end up there with his psyshopaths Masters & the CIA
@@beltalowda well that's why they're billionaires and successful it's the drive to create and do something new
The general term of metaverse (not Zuck's own "Meta" and attempt to monopolize on it) may prove to be an exciting and well integrated piece of technology and CREATIVITY for our current systems. If it does not remain free (which we struggle with in this regular 3d reality across the entire planet) then we will notice it to a LARGER EXTENT I believe. The digital realm of gaming has been virtually unscathed by advertisements and money grabs (enter World of Warcraft followed by its predecessors). Yet, if "gaming" consists of too many unpopular real world monopolies and or CONTROL tactics, there will be an uprising to protect our identities and individual rights to the constitution and personal sovereignty. I believe this is a struggle we are CURRENTLY playing ▶️ out, and the end result is yet to be determined. We will need to stand up to ANYONE and ANYTHING who attempts to break our democracy, who attempts to own us and our information. Ready Player 1 is real, The Matrix is real, 1984 is as well. Value your rights, your worth! We can do away with corporate greed owning us, our politics, our very way of being. Steer the course, love 💜, and question everything you're being told! This is the war of information age. Nothing is as it seems. Hopefully we will figure out this ethereal space before we head into another- the metaverse. F off Zuckerberg! Creative love ❤️🔥🏞️💙 will put you into the ground!
As a socialist and a gen z who watches and is aware of st'uff like you said in this comm'ent you said far more in a sorter com'ment with so much that ex'plains a lot than i ever could this you need a freak'en gold star man well done 👏

It’s insane how Zuckerberg and

Ehm i mean vr stuff are fun but from this company and stuff no.
@@YungPhilosopher same
We'll see if your EVERYONE is enough to stop it, somehow I don't think so.
Last week I got blocked for 3 days for jokingly saying "I would throw a shoe to that guy", in Portuguese. In my language, the expression is a colloquialism, not intended to be taken literal and is often used in a joking context.
FB flagged it as "incinting to violence".
I've been blocked two other times, for very similar reasons.
Made an appeal everytime, to no avail. They don't even bother to acknowledge they are wrong.
These guys are so worried with blocking hate speech that they've started censuring people for the most idiotic reasons, while the hate speech continues, often disguised.
They also don’t give a damn about cultural context either, it seems
I've been without Facebook for over five years and trust - when you leave, you will not wish to return. Next step is migrating away from Instagram, as it is owned by and plagued with the same issues.
I have stop using Facebook 6 years ago. The reason is, there is so much hate being spread around unnecessarily, making my life stressful. You guys should do it too.
true is sharing the dark behavers and thougts in losing loop
It’s been almost 2 years for me
Thats social media in general. Stop social media in general and your mental health will skyrocket.
All I learned from FaceBook is that my former classmates are now obese and doing terribly. I got nothing out of it
@@Zayyytho Yep. Go to goddamn libraries. Read books. See new films. Learn new skills! Forget social media

Imagine metaverse is like the matrix but without legs your just hanging around lol
Well, we need to take responsibility when using Facebook or Meta. As parents, why do we allow or kids to have a FB, Tiktok, or any other social media accounts? All these problems can't be blamed on FB alone.
No one wants to take responsiblity for anything anymore. People will say their 8 year olds are obsessed with social media. Well, then, be a fucking parent and limit their time on screen!
You clearly dont have kids or used the internet in the mid 00s. you can 100% blame modern social media. I used myspace at the age of 12 and I ended up fine. Its an entirely different ball game these days
Finally a sensible comment.
@@Brandon-bc5um Exactly! People forget these companies purposely made these social media platform's addictive to kerp us coming back.
Parents were not I formed of the deeds allowed in these popular sites..It is not just a danger for children. But adults also who fall prey to bad actors in these sites
No matter what you say about the Metaverse (scary as name as well) you will never, NEVER get the same feeling of climbing a mountain in real life or meeting with friends in a restaurant. Some things technology cannot replicate are real feelings that make us happy.
Those feelings unfortunately will be lost as time moves on. It'll be like the transition from vinyl to CD & the response it has from audiophiles. You don't hear those complaints anymore. It's scary.
@@Official360 Very true.
@@Official360 I agree about the vinyl to cd transition for sure. Only the old heads like myself understand and still love the feel of spinning vinyl and the sound a vinyl makes. That scratching, crackling sound as the needle drags across the vinyl is just magic and pure.
until you receive electric signals directly to your brain driven by a AI , that makes you feel that its real, give some time.
true you have a good point, i think this business concept will target introverts as well as those people who get shunned by society...you know that kid nobody wanted to be friends with....this will allow them to have there own world where they can interact.
I was addicted to technologies until I turned 42, then all of a sudden I re-discovered the immense pleasure of reading and taking time to live (drawing, cooking, being outdoors all summer long). I could not care less for any of these soul crushing experiences anymore. Seriously people, live life as it it was still 1999. You can use Google and youtube and all to educate yourself (tons of cool tutorials, documentaries on just about anything you care about) but nothing else....the rest of the time you should be unplugged. Live YOUR life, find out who YOU are, don't watch the lives of others online; nothing good can come from it.
That's really nice😊
Great Advice 👍👍👍
That's very true sir and I'm 22 years old.
Great way to encourage people that we all have a choice.
Yea I’m bored of social media too and especially influencers.
The goal of the metaverse is to make people feel powerful and wealthy in the digital world so they dont pose a threat to the powerful in the real world.
Really interested to get opinions. Why should we blame Facebook for inherent human traits and conflicts? Should they sensor the reality? What should be done? I am very curious to see what others think about this issue.
Fb has only enabled folks to perpetuate hatred amongst bigoted groups of people who use fb as a tool to spread misinformation about groups of people who are assaulted/r*ped/killed/tortured etc. It hasn't changed humanity's ttaits but it has made it easier for reprehensible individuals to band together.
What has it done for the regular folks and activists who use the platform? They gave out a see through flag banner for people's profile pictures to 'show support'.
Fb is more bad than good and tbh it always has been.
Leave facebook, leave Instagram, leave them all you dont need them. Focus on those around you and not an endless list of people you dont know.
You are talking to people whose amount of dopamine produced hinges almost entirely on how many likes they can get.
I would also say leave UA-cam.
I'm 13.. addicted to youtube. have no life
@@wokk9543 Trust me, very few people have a life beyond a few very extroverted people. You will have a life in time, but I understand your frustration. UA-cam and most forms of social media are addictive by design so don't be too hard on yourself. I know this will sound cliche but you don't want to have a life now. The second you have school and other obligations its easy to fall off the wagon. I'd recommend focusing on your studies, get through middle school and high-school. Once you survive that it will get better. I actually made most of my friends at my job.
@@jasonssavitt5297 ok
I love how Meta is literally the plot of an episode of Black Mirror.
It's originally from a dystopian novel believe it or not
LITERALLY
@@colewilliamson2530 which book? id love to read it tbh
Hell yeah
marks Cranium looks larger with pulsing veins, he needs a skin-tight martian suit
It's obvious that some form of spontaneous information exchange between individuals besides email, SMS and calling is a necessity for modern society. As long as you provide unmoderated forms of exchange, misinformation or otherwise harmful information can and will be spread. You can not expect to moderate every exchange between individuals and live in a free society as well. The only real way to combat misinformation is if everyone is already informed.
This just feels like a commercial for Meta. We all knew all of this information already.
my favourite psychology prof once said, "our adaptability will be our downfall," and that has always really stuck with me.
Wowww that’s so true. Humans can adapt to anything. For better or worse…
Jillian assange also said that but in different words: "the biggest human strength is getting used to anything, the biggest human weaknes is getting used to anything"
Wise Professor!

@@young98-cc5ls We are not intelligent. Innocent people got stabbed at the capital in November 2020 by according to those who got stabbed, BLM. Even a black woman who called the whole group out was one of those attacked and the media wouldn't report the truth of it because it wasn't the narrative to be used and used to use minorities for their votes. Yet the "insurrection" had not a single person killed other than a single baited attacker who was found to be with a bunch of antifa. Unless you count more than one cop that witnessed the whole thing and got "suicided" or had what was called a "natural" heart attack due the "trauma." Like cops have never faced trauma before the is so dumb you're not intelligent if you fall for it. Sure, that's what happened, an insurrection where a million others in diverse unity stood around and sang worship songs and listened to Trump call for PEACE while it was going on and that group and Trump are to blame? Really? Tell me more? Try to do it without repeating what you heard is true or using edited clips with narratives over them. I didn't even like Trump till 2020 when I saw what was going on against him that WASN'T REAL. Funny how the "full" videos showed the whole thing was baited with paid, some even confessed to it and they were willing to go to jail by being truthful, and most Trump supporters had to fight the people trying to attack, full video shows this, while security was told to LEAVE and they LEFT AS TOLD!!! Wake up and prove your intelligent enough not to fall for this stuff. There was an attack, but it was on our intelligence. Notice how this is trending with fewer than 200,000 views but actual truth with a million views in a day can't even make the trending list and gets removed swiftly, if you're falling for the above video as pure fact and not fact mixed with prop a gan da to push cen sor ship, you're not intelligent, your controlled, baited, and used. I am sure this comment will be removed, truth you know, it disappears online.
As someone who doesn't use any social media other than UA-cam, I'm not sure why people can't pull themselves away from the thing that is so obviously ruining their lives. Not that UA-cam is innocent in all this either.
It's a drug. Even the guy who helped create Facebook with Mark said it was designed to be so addictive that it would be near impossible to put down.
@@jimparsons9454 I think that’s true about the international Facebook users and not users from the US. Most young Americans don’t use Facebook anymore.
Social platforms are carefully designed to be as addictive as possible. Even the blue tones used in the UI convey a "welcoming" feeling to our brains that's we're not concious of.
That's also not to mention the casino based refresh feature, unpredictable notifications, and more.
@@ran160 They use IG and Tiktok but the addiction is the same...
I somewhat agree with you, but (aside the fact that it's addictive and etc.) the thing is that many people have to use it because their source of income depend on it. I, for example, don't use them personally, but I have to work with them. Many small business and stuff like that now depend on these platforms to get clients and sell their stuff. It's a sad reallity.
I would give anything to understand the motivations behind some of these projects. At this point, for any of these people, it's not about the money anymore. They couldn't spend even half of their wealth if they tried. Do they really think this is what the world needs? If they truly think they're helping anyone other than themselves, I think we all need to re-think how we view intelligence. At the end of the day, Facebook and Google have proven time and time again that they shouldn't be allowed to control a market and it keeps happening. These guys are allowed to operate any way they choose so we either have to put a stop to it or just stop complaining about it.
I love how the CEO is being used as a scapegoat. Do you seriously think it’s just this one guy responsible for all of this. Sure, he started the darn thing in a college dorm room back when he was a punk kid. But imagine all those who help push the Facebook agenda forward. Oh, not to mention all the Facebook users and the people who work there. Even the janitor.
Love how nobody's mentioning how easy it is for middle aged men to groom children over social media and the companies do nothing to stop it.
Because they’re pedos themselves.
It's such an epidemic that global to local like law enforcement agencies can't even cope.
Why do you love that💀
💯 percent true.
I don’t think children should be on social media. After a certain age it would be difficult to stop them from making one behind your back. So allow them to have one so you can monitor it. Talk to your kids about the dangers of social media with adults. Build strong relationships with trust with your children and be proactive. It starts with the parents. I hope all is well
It gives me so much hope knowing how many people are against the Metaverse.
**EDIT** Also the technology itself is amazing and there isn't anything wrong with that per say. What concerns me is the person that's in charge of it all and whether or not it will eventually be forced.
Not against Metaverse, positive for decentralised Metaverse. Absolutely against anything centralised as “Facebook Metaverse “ is.
Me too, however, people have been aware of these things for a while and yet they continue to just hand over their information.
We'll be prepared to be left behind. There is nothing wrong with the Metaverse. Only those that are afraid of the future.
Im actualy all for this. This is just boomers being scared of change.
@@joshvalen4793 you don’t think another company will step up and monopolize the metaverse if facebook didn’t? I don’t care if it’s owen by Facebook, Google, Disney, or anyone. It’ll still be snatched up one way or another in the pursuit of increasing profits.
with every content you can always choose to believe it or not, but the more you know about people, the more you can get under their skin, the more they are willing to believe you. this is what facebook targeting already accomplishes today. image if facebook would be able to control the reality you live in, where you work and meet your friends. as marketer, your most private moments, words and emotions will be at my disposal. it's scary to think which organizations might want to exploit this. we cannot allow this to happen.
People never seem to get tired of humiliating themselves in social media
Mark binged watched “Black Mirror” one day and said to himself “What’s the problem?”
A Matrix in a Matrix

He probably thinks the show is about cool new technologies that everyone loves
Write that down!.. write that down!..
You guys are so gullible. Black mirror is just predictive programming to prep society into accepting these new technologies as the norm. They already had these advancements in technology a long time ago and are just now in the process of selling it to the public. As a salesman I can guarantee that it is 100% easier to sell a product that people have already seen. Black mirror episodes were simply commercials.

I am very curious about the future but I have ZERO faith that Facebook's prior "mistakes" won't be so much worse in their own little universe.
Hearing from the victims in Ethipioa and Myamar, the sound of their voices breaking from sobs and fear is so somberly hauting. The world deserves so much better than what it has come to.

Instead of creating new spaces I personally feel we should fix what is clearly already broken
I've said that about Earth when Musk is reaching for mars
@@brycea.4039 The world right now is in a crisis with war,famine, climate change, division they are so many things that need to be dealt with and I get we also need to keep innovating but we shouldn't put so much effort on what could be or the future but fix the present in order to have a future
@@brycea.4039 that's not a great argument because while Musks ultimate goal is Mars, look at all the amazing technology he has given us (eg. good electric cars), all the good he has done (eg. he fixed Cuba's power grid after the hurricane), the money he has saved the govt (eg. NASA uses his rockets to bring people up to the ISS, instead of using Russian rockets for $$$), and all the inspiration. We need more people like Musk. "It's not the critic who counts" - Roosevelt

@@brycea.4039 let's be real. You've said that because you heard that opinion from someone else. If you actually informed yourself and thought about it, you would have come to the conclusion that it's best that we explore space while also fixing problems on earth.
Out of all the billionairs that destroy our planet, elon musk is the one that's doing things wrong enough for you to mention him specifically?? This further shows how you're not thinking for yourself.
Just so people understand: in the metaverse (which is just a glamorous name for VR), we move our bodies and heads. This data about why, when and how we move and how we react, can then be used by governments in the real world, through surveillance cameras for example, by pairing it with Artificial Intelligence, to predict how we will behave even before we have taken the decision to do something. It is absolutely terrifying.
This is already a possibility in cell phones.
Damn that's actually scary to think about
The government already knows how people will react to things before they happen. They've been taking data on us for decades now. This isn't new and this isn't going away. What the metaverse is looking like is how we imagined online gaming was going to become. We've seen this future for years now. Now it's starting to come to fruition. Take advantage of it now to get a head start in it

Being a 16 year old girl, the social media has got me more than harm than any good. I have struggled for so long due to it, and now that I've finally deleted the accounts, I have never felt so better. Please, we don't need an "upgraded" version of what we have to deal with now, this is just gonna create hell.
Facebook didn’t invent body image problems or envy, those have been universal human problems for thousands of years. Facebook is just a modern scapegoat for eternal human problems
I totally feel u.. I'm 16 too and have deleted my social media (insta, fb and twitter) quite a while ago and it's just the best decision so far.

Social media is one of the worst thing to happen to this world.
Facts. Granted it wasn’t social media it was that people are able to say what ever they want with next to no risk of real world consequences. Given that people have forgot or chose to stop being kind to each other and instead we constantly look to put others down instead of trying to bring each other up.

What at all is the metaverse.
In fact the Facebook is taking us to a whole different world.
Social Media is making us all of us Zombies
It's one tool amongst many however it also carries the possibility of free speech and better communication unlike the global media who are payed off to steer popular opinion to create the narative they want to sell!
Weapons are also tools, perhaps it would me more sensible to organise a global abolition of all weapons and swap the budget poured into weapons for peace talk teams and better wealth distribution and regulation, one thing we need to educate and eventually regulate better is our own natural animal instincts, we need to swap being territorial for being welcoming and we need to swap out being competitive for sharing!
Easier said then done
When Amazon released a microphone that records everything you say on your phone I thought no one was stupid enough to put one in their homes and yet they did. I have no doubt they would gladly live in Facebook's "metaverse" too if the VR goggles weren't so inconvenient.
You know they would, giving up every security for convenience.
I think you may have spotted FaceBook‘s next invention. A new set of VR tools that are convenient. It may not be there immediate goal but I bet it’s on the forecast.
Everybody already had and still has a microphone that records everything you say. It's your smartphone mic. Many different programs can access it without your knowledge. If you don't believe it, you're a fool. Anyway, no big deal if you have nothing to hide. Just accept it and don't do anything wrong or immoral.

It's Scary to see a company having so much power
I still remember my Economics class (taken in the US). The very first question the professor asked the class after he introduced himself was, "what's the United States famous for?" After some silence, he said... "monopoly". ;)
No one will use it.
Who gave them power in the first place? The people. 💀
Twitter muted trump once or twice, you know...
It’s scary to see how much power our government has.
Metaverse or Anteverse?
If this platform thrives, there will come a generation of young people divided in two groups: Those who consider our current Universe as reality and Metaverse as fictitious and those who would perceive just exactly the opposite thing.
He's trying to make the world into a dystopian sci fi novel or movie like "Ready Player One". I'm just scared that what if he adds actual money into his metaverse for virtual transactions and thats's where people actually live? The possiility and potential are endless actually!

So true. People are the problem. We all need to come together to stop the division and hatred.
This vidoe is so shallow. It's not like if Facebook is gone, everything will be fine. People will find a way, especially we already have technical capacity. Not defending Facebook, but this documentary is disappointing and not creative at all.
Mark is the perfect embodiment of narcissism. He has power over us so long as we lean into passivism, choosing short term comfort over long term satisfaction
Why do we continue to allow it though
He's a puppet to those he answers to. His shareholders and board. He's the guy they use when things go sour so someone can physically point to. Can't trust all of them involved.
His name is Mark and he’s connected to the Mark of the beast

The only change is that tragic events are now able to be shown to people. These events have been occurring.
Social media to me has always been just that. Nothing more, period. I always seen folks use it as a crutch for self worth. That to me always looked problematic.
I’ve deleted my Facebook 5 years ago, best choice I’ve ever made. I’d encourage anyone to do the same. So much more rest and clarity
Same, I deleted my FB page years ago. Saved my self so much time for living life, instead of starring at a screen. Earned my scuba,open water certification; expanded my little library of tangible books. Advanced my career, payed more attention to my wife and friends face to face. So happy I deleted my FB page. No substitute exists thats as fulfilling as face to face interaction. Also, side note. I stopped thinking and obsessing about how my life appears to other people. I stopped thinking about myself all the time.
Do the same with Instagram
same, i deleted my FB, IG for a year ago.
make better life
I just deleted my fb yesterday and already feeling better
I deleted mine a year and half ago! And I never looked back
any product that harms children gets pulled from the shelves. the problem w/facebook is that it's so big, you don't just need a blue ribbon panel to investigate it- you need an *army* of psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, lawyers & IT analysts across multiple countries to investigate it.
Totally agree !!
💯💯💯💯💯
Or don’t let your kid use it
Well, to use FB you have to be 13 years or older. It is also heavily advised for kids 12 and under to not use VR as it will be harmful. Parental supervision is key.
I understand your point.
but first of all, there are plenty of products still available that harm children in a myriad of ways as their are plenty of products that harm people in general that are allowed to exist despite their non-relevance and or potential dangers. And secondly. There is no agency in charge or otherwise that is genuinely “interested” in investigating and controlling or “policing” organizations like Facebook, because they know at the end of the day that organization’s such as Facebook are and have always been essential to control mechanism’s such as, but not limited to nation states. And lastly controlled opposition is a business plan not a deterrent.
if they really had a problem with organization such as these they would be eliminated and not allowed to exist as has been the example time and time again when something doesn’t serve a desired public Narrative.
Just the thumbnail explains why we should be worried about the metaverse.
And then you have Facebook be like "hey guys wanna wear our glasses with cameras on them? Oh and we pinky promise we won't use them while you are in the bathroom, we care a lot about your privacy "
No thanks
I was excited for the first 5 seconds when I heard about metaverse (am a gamer after all) but am pretty sure am not the only one to see how society got so badly messed up when social media entered our lifes... fast forward 2021 were going to let this guy make a world where people never have to leave their homes again... our own demise, built by us
Metaverse will not be Facebook's, it will rather be a collection of virtual worlds where Blockchain acts as financial and value transfer later. That's web 3.0. Zuckerberg will fail. Mark my words. He is an arrogant prick and frankly is evil. That's why Elon Musk boycotts him. Elon wants the world better for humanity and puts all his wealth there. Metaverse is awesome and it already exists in its infant form. Zuckerberg is late to the game. Look forward to the future man, the future is good🚀
heaven for introverts like me

I like how he’s trying to imply that he will “create” the metaverse, when VR chat has existed for years and concerts are happening in Fortnite. He just doesn’t want FB to turn into MySpace by preemptively claiming ownership over the next phase of social platforms.
🎯
Difference is Metaverse will be "decentralized"
I guess this proves that the real universe was created.
Doing what he does best, steal someone else's idea and market it better.
Yeah but MySpace was cool .
Omg. The symbol for Meta is the infinity symbol. That says it all.

I left Facebook in June and am so glad. I don’t have to look at other peoples lives anymore which has made me feel much better about my simple life.
I left years ago and lost nothing
Same. I'm only belong to a few groups I belong to like gaming groups and a supportive group for anxiety and depression. None of that showing off and stuff
And you are using UA-cam. It’s exactly the same machine.

You can use social media on your own terms….

There are terrible advertisements forced onto us. Dubious ads from "charities" and from government entities. The moment we type something, those advertisement companies pick up the keywords and suddenly you get those annoying advertisements.

These creators need to shift their focus to something else. We don’t need another reality. We need to make better choices for the next generations.

@@yomommashaus you only folloe fakel news channels, you're a nut job.
I fully support the work of FB and Google. We can already solve world hunger, homelessness, lack of power, internet, transportation. It's just not profitable to help people who have nothing to give back except their time. So that stuff is on us.
And as for their chosen focuses, I personally want to download my brain into a quantum internet and live for as long as I choose to. That's only going to maybe happen if companies like these put everything they have into it so... there lol.

This video was really ahead of the time. Amazing and important work to talk about it
I left social media 5 months ago. It was hard at first because of the dopamine withdrawals. When I was zoning out I would literally pull my phone out and my thumb would automatically scroll to where the Facebook app icon was in my phone. This went on for a few weeks but now I'm on the other side of it and I don't miss Facebook and IG at all. I don't miss any of it. I've been social media clean and only have UA-cam and Email. Quality of life has been so much better.
I don't understand what triggers dopamine.
As in if people give you likes or views?
I love ASIAN message parlors 💗 💖 💗 💓
@@mossad7338 and the illusion it gives you that you're taking in valuable new information when you're really just scrolling through everyone that's craving validation
I can't wrap my head around the people who dedicate so much time on there when they could be doing something more productive and rewarding with their time, it's actual fucking insanity when you look at it from that perspective
@@mossad7338 nah it's so much more complex, it's about seeing people you know, spicy news you care about getting so much info. Our brains sent built to absorb as much about the world as FB gives us. It's like mentally taking double shots when you're bored instead of enjoying 1 wine over dinner a week. We know they make these apps to be addictive, grab your info and monatose you as much as they can. Worst bit is it's all mental so it's really hard to tell as it's slowly affecting the world
At least with UA-cam you actually can learn things.
Reading and hearing about metaverse is what tipped me over the edge to deleting Facebook and all other social medias I have. I can't recommend it enough!

@@henry4849 what’s the solution then? Asking as genuinely concerned
May i give a sugestion ? Get some information about a Japanese company named Jasmy and their idea of giving the control of the personal data to each one of us, in the Metaverse, in the Web3 and the IoT (internet of things).
It's a very interesting concept, since it allows you to control your personal data that is collected in your everyday life, and if the GAFA want that information, they will have to pay YOU, for it. The company is runned by former CEO's of Sony Corporation, so i think it will have some developments to come. Let's see.
The metaverse comes from the halls of educational institutions in the Weimar Republic , where there was a sacred belief that some people don’t have to work for a living. They’re hoping to encompass a reality where they can profit from everything.
You shouldn't be worried about facebook's metaverse, you should be worried about facebook, including its metaverse. Facebook shouldn't have been allowed to purchase Instagram and Whatsapp. Congress must split them up now.
I agree but congress doesn't understand digital tech and has no idea how to split them up. They will just operate fiscally separate but nothing is stopping them from having meetings and planning behind closed doors, planning the same things on each platform
The title of this video perfectly reminds me of why I stopped watching any news a long time ago: Being worried about things I’m neither interested in nor benefit from nor have any control over is a quick path for a stressful and miserable life.

The responsibility begins with the inventors and authorities, regulations must be in place therefore responsibility can not be left to the general public. If its bad for human consumption, it should not be released into the market.

I think we are going to find social media as a whole has a major impact on self esteem/depression not only in children but adults as well. It’s scary thinking about what our world will look like in 10 years. Just remember how much the world changed from 2000-2010.
I always had the feeling that I won't recognize the world when I'm old. Technology goes faster and faster. When my grandpa was a child nobody owned a car or tv. Nobody could have dreamed up a smartphone, so I believe technology in 50 years will be indistinguishable from magic.
Agreed, except I think we've already found the impact!
Completely agree
Thats already been the case for at least the past 5 years as it is. I agree that it will only get exponentially worse, I mean, I'm not trying to be a debbie downer but it's the truth.
edit: I made this comment before I watched the video, and they made the exact same tobacco analogy I did...not sure if I should feel smart or dumb
yes, we are only just now starting to grasp how harmful social media can be, especially on younger people. I think that sometime soon, maybe in 50 years, we're going to look back at how we use social media at this moment, in a similar way to how we now view people that smoked cigarettes in the past. people used to think cigarettes were fine, it wasn't until later that medical science caught up and realized what was happening. but now it's a psychological issue instead, and as our knowledge in that field advances, I think we're going to discover just how deleterious social media is to our mental health. then we'll be shocked we didn't have the common sense to see it at the time, the same way it seems so obvious that people should have known how bad smoking was half a century ago. just a guess.
The older I get, the more distance I wanna put between me and the online world. Don't get me wrong: UA-cam is a wonderful platform to share knowledge and learn, as are many other learning platforms. Any other place where you seek social approval or to impose your opinion on others, however, is cancerous.
I have been trying to figure out how people can have their head stuck in their phone while life is passing them by I believe that the cell phone and social media are the downfall of society it's ruined our social skills

I'm thankful I never had anything to do with Fakebook, My Space, Twitz or any other "social media" craphole. I really wish something would show up with the same character (only better) as UA-cam and not owned by Google.
I love how this is just now seen as a concern.

Look at the damage social media has done to society, it's literally got so out of hand it is considered normal behaviour now to be triggered and offended all the time.. technologies as good and helpful as they are, they also have downsides and so far they have been terrible for the human psychology or society in general, literally destroying families and relationships..

See, I've grown up on social media and I've noticed the same people that say "it's considered normal behavior now to be triggered and offended all the time" are the same people that make social media so detrimental for us as a society. Same people that usually lack any basic form of empathy, compassion or common sense.
@@777am6 it's 2022 and I'm in my 30s, I think majority of people my age and especially younger know nothing else apart from social media, that doesn't create natural emotions, empathy, compassion etc if anything it creates psychological issues, people don't understand boarders or time outs anymore, or its everybody else is fault etc..which goes back to my original point, it makes all the 'triggered' emotions just seem normal, self responsibility seems to be fading and it's becoming a cultural blame it on everything else.. sometimes information will set us free but other times to much of certain information can blind a person, social was meant to connect the world but it being so much on a daily basis its starting to show the cons to it all, each year the evidence grows.
