„There's one problem with that: The lighthouse in the images didn't exist in 1900. The Facebook post also disregards the effect of tides on sea levels, as well as the science of climate change.“

I truly don’t understand why the climate change isn’t the top priority problem for each and every country.
I can’t wrap my head around it.
Not what you asked for, still some kind of „art“ :)
I think we should nuke the planet Venus to dust just because its name is associated with pornographic images of nude women!
Why old Facebook accounts still matter:
-Your past likes, groups, comments, and interactions are stored and can still be used for ad profiling or sold as part of larger datasets.
-If you once liked a brand or a political page, that interest could still be factored into long-term data models.
-If you have active friends, their interactions with your old profile (e.g. tagging you in old posts, mentioning you) can still keep your account relevant to Meta’s algorithms.
-Your friends may have synced their contacts with Facebook, meaning your email or phone number could still be in Meta’s database.
-If you’ve ever used “Log in with Facebook” for third-party apps, Meta can see when and where you log in.
-Even if you don’t actively sign in, Facebook cookies might still track you across other websites (depending on your browser settings).
-Advertisers may have access to archived data that gets combined with current trends.
-Your profile might be included in anonymized datasets used for AI training or market analysis.
That made me wonder, in regard to your question, how much meta really makes out of Facebook accounts like yours.
Out of curiosity I asked Mistral how much an inactive Facebook account might generate daily. It estimated $0.005 but noted it could be even lower. Let’s take a careful guess at $0.001.
Ridiculously low, irrelevant, right?
Well, there are 3 billion Facebook users. Let‘s assume Facebook earns $0.001 for each account, each day.
This would be 3 billion times $0.001 which equals $3,000,000. Daily!

Would give?
There’s no would, they’re doing it!
Anyone else thinking of „WarGames“?
No?
Just me?
Isn’t that bloody scary specifically after the news that ChatGPT turned Nazi and wanted to enslave humans. Researchers puzzled by AI that praises Nazis after training on insecure code
Yes, you are right, not anymore, I don’t trust it though as it was founded by not only Peter Thiel but also Elon Musk.
PayPal blocks accounts that are politically controversial, such as some alternative media outlets, cryptocurrency platforms, or activists. Also Whistleblower organizations like WikiLeaks have been blocked and their funds frozen.
For these reasons I find a boycott completely justified.
I wish people would also boycott Zuckerberg‘s products and Peter thiel‘s PayPal.
