Why? Is it because of the “if you don’t pay for the product, then you are the product “ or is the reason something more allegedly nefarious . I ask as someone who’s not familiar with the subject.
Exactly, he's not in favour of personal rights protection for almost anyone else but a bank saying they don't want to deal with him is suddenly a big issue. He's always been a hypocrite and a grifter. But of minor admin for his lawyers, diddums.
@MorrisItal2 I deleted everything when they introduced the "Like" button as I was instantly able to see what that meant for privacy - it's very, very bad. It's been superseded now by the "Facebook Pixel" (which is even worse because you can't even tell which sites have it, it's nearly all of them) but essentially, they know pretty much every single website you have visited, they know how much you pay for things online, they know your search history, they know who your friends and family are, they know what you look like and so on. They know more about you than you do. Deleting your Facebook account isn't enough to escape it though, as they have "shadow profiles" for everyone who's not on Facebook built up from the information leaked to them by everyone who knows you. You know when these apps ask for access to your contacts when you sign up so that they "can find who you know" who's already on the service? That's not what it's for.
The usual response to this for the vast majority of people is that they don't care what Facebook knows about them. But that's not even what they should be worried about - they should be worried about the spread of that information because that's where it has real world consequences. From the entirely innocuous like paying over the odds for flights because Facebook says you're a big spender, to the extremely not innocuous like Facebook grassing up women seeking abortion information in the US.
It's a story about a young girl who aspires to become a powerful social media influencer, and does so, but with disastrous consequences. Makes you realise how superficial and irrelevant the whole 'Like' buttons are, and how some people feel it necessary to spend almost their entire lives glued to their phones.

Yeah that makes sense... a cricketer presenting a Tennis tournament
She's an excellent broadcaster
Gerrard heads to Saudi...
Just realised the irony of posting this in 'Not football' instead of the intented destination 'other football'
I did think he would be heading there despite supposedly turning them down the other week
Imagine if he appointed Carragher as his assistant
That would be nice, would get him off Sky
Can't believe that got a downvote.
What's wrong with Carra? He's one of the best pundits around.
He's vile.
How so?

Forgot all about that!
Can't stand Liverpool, couldn't stand Carragher as a Liverpool player, but he's good value as a pundit.
Likes a cheeky spit here and there. But I dare say everyone has their breaking point when getting abuse off randoms.
Quality apology video here too

I almost misread that as 'Gerrard's head to Saudi', which might be just as appropriate.
I did try to make that joke, but I didn't execute it very well.
Why on earth did they watch it back with him in slow motion?
I'm not keen on Carra but the gobbing aside...not sure the driving, camera welding, shouting Dad covered himself with glory.
If they fail to achieve anything under his management, his head might be the only thing coming back.

Saudi Arabia: where the idiom 'for the chop' means just that.

Anyone else tried Threads yet?
I have every Meta owned domain blocked at the network level. So no.

Edit: I highly recommend this book on the subject, or even the Netflix documentary The Social Dilemma.
Edit again: Also basically any of Jaron Lanier's books, especially the Ten Arguments
I've never had a Facebook account, and deleted a short-lived Twitter account years ago.
For further reading, I'd recommend the Influencing trilogy, by Daniel Hurst: The Influencing Trilogy — Daniel Hurst Books (available on Kindle from Amazon).

That sounds like victim blaming.
