Make Una deh use sense before posting. If this fine was imposed by American govt on Meta, will you attack the govt? Why is it that some of you are in the habit of criticizing Nigeria govt if they try to put things right? You always see any of their decisions as wrong as if you know it all. When govt takes the right decisions, praise them and when they take the wrong decisions, criticise them. If Nigeria will get it right today, many of you will be seriously affected because of your resistance to change and flouting of rules and regulations.

This is good.
And I like it.
I used Meta AI on WhatsApp to carry out a research on a particular issue of concern in Zimbabwe. I was shocked when, some days later, I found Facebook introducing to me some things in Zimbabwe I should be interested in.
How did that happened?
It happened because it's the same parent company and my data was shared amongst the two platforms.
Since the platforms shared my data, I must have a share in the fine.
FCCPC, over to you; I am waiting.

While I want Mark Zukerberg to succeed, but he seems to be an enemy of himself, and I don't know why. I used to pity him because a shirt of a certain hue was his uniform. One wonders if he had many of that shirt or he kept wearing the same clothe all the time. Now he seems emanciated with jerry curl hair that belongs to the 70s and 80s.

Having said that facebook and whatsapp were too porous. Many people of different shades and inclinations were doing what they liked on those sites. Facebook was for love scammers and fake hookups. Whatsapp on the other hand was so porous that you can pay a token to some apps and spy on what other people were saying and discussing. The so-called end to end encryption was a big joke. Just look at the implication of people reading your messages.

Third, Mark Zukerberg now monitors people on his social media in real life. A friend of mine told me the day his mother died, Mark was actually in his small hometown in Africa that day. They met at a Filling Station at the area the mother was admitted. What the hell was he doing there that day, even before the woman was pronounced dead. More questions than answers.

I hate to spoil his business but he is apparently not making money from the ventures and his billionaire status might be a ruse. Facebook and whatsapp need to shut down permanently cos their modus operandi is not that of a business, but that of just collecting people's information.

Wow, Meta and WhatsApp must pay $220 million, very big fine for not using people's data the right way.
I would not be surprised if they asked Meta to help them spy and they refused and they are now trying to hit them back....
