You all are already using ad-blockers and tracking protection, and many don't use Meta's products, but still, just in case. "In a blog post on Tuesday, Meta explains that it already uses your off-platform activity, like the games you play or your purchases on other websites, to serve you ads. But now it’s expanding the scope of the content it personalizes across Facebook and Instagram." https://about.fb.com/news/2026/06/better-personalization-and-changes-to-controls-for-your-activity-from-other-businesses/ Via (paywalled) https://www.theverge.com/tech/946744/meta-website-activity-personalize-feeds (note the article has a broken link to Meta's announcement) #news #technology #TechNews #meta #facebook #instagram #privacy #security #surveillance #SurveillanceCapitalism
