  • Data journalist Matilda Davies opened her first Facebook account aged 11. Years later, she requested all of the information the social media behemoth had been collecting on her. What she uncovered shocked her. So how exactly does the data gathering work? And what can we all do to claw back some privacy?
    Guest: Matilda Davies, data journalist, The Times and The Sunday Times.

    Haven't used Facebook for years. I got kicked off for a week for telling a guy who used sexist misogynistic comments to remember his brain was several inches above his belt buckle. I guess he didn't like my response and complained. So I canceled my Facebook account and haven't been back.

    There is nothing mysterious about Meta and other social platforms knowing a lot about its users. It's like what the whole concept is built on. 😉

    I was on Facebook once. I used a false name, was eventually discovered. They demanded my real name and a copy of my photo ID to get back on. I told them what orifice to put it in. Never heard from them again.

    I'm a proponent of 'Open' & believe 'Closed', privacy, should be kept to a minimum, akin to the police keeping force to a minimum.

    What information is The Times harvesting from its readers and subscribers and what is it sharing with Meta and anyone else for cash? 🤔

    Its easy to mess with Meta. Just keep changing your name. Their algo is too dumb to keep track of you, and never check the box that allows web searches to find your account. The ads will stop and so will unsolicited articles in your feed.

    Nothing new under the sun.
    Just don't do anything on the internet what you not want to share.
    It's as simple as that.

    Thanks for this! I'm surprised people agree to cookies. Occasionally I can't see a picture or video, so what?. (I use Mozilla Firefox on 2 computers, including a splendid old desk computer with most of its innards replaced over 3 decades.) My mobile phone is the type used by criminals, a "burner phone". But I'm still going to download my meta data.

    Why did they change the name of the series from "Stories of our Times" to "The Story"? The old name was much better.
