WAT?! You're telling me there has been a team at Facebook designing and implementing this feature, and not one person has stood up and asked:
"Uhm, isn't that super creepy, even for us?"
@fribbledom Is that real, or a joke? It's almost like that stunt Signal pulled with the ads they made to expose how much Facebook knows and uses about people. Maybe Facebook figured that the cat's out of the bag so they just run with it now.
Could also be part of a strategy to gradually make people think "it's actually good that Facebook knows everything about me, then Facebook can help me in so many nice ways like this".
@eliasr and @fribbledom, the real question here is, do people actually fund their friends’ honeymoon and is it still a thing in COVID time?
@eliasr @fribbledom I’ve seen it mentioning “home repairs”. It happens while you are drafting a post like how if you mention COVID or Vaccine you immediately get the big “Have you read the latest CDC guidance before posting?” box. *Supposedly* it doesn’t use any info other than the words in a single draft and *might* not leave the device/phone home. It’s Clippy without the face. “I see you are writing a sad letter. Would you like to start a bake sale? We’ve got an app for that now.”
You said something in your post
@eliasr, were this a public post then it might not be Cardi B’s Grammy-award-winning album, but rather just classic manipulation to boost interactions on the platform. Still, as @fribbledom mentioned, it’s nevertheless very creepy.
