If not uploading pictures to social media is smart, consider me Albert Einstein!

Conversely, keep uploading your pics to Facebook and Instagram and continue to get mad at what they do with the pictures you’ve given them.

If Instagram had pulled an image from his phone’s storage and then presented him with an ad using it, I’d be outraged.

He uploaded the photo to their platform, which means he loses control of what’s done with it.

This isn’t new or news. Facebook/Insta/Twitter have been shitty companies for years and years. Stop giving them your data.

The issue isn’t that his phone has a camera. The problem is that he uploaded a personal photo to their tool, then got annoyed that they showed him what else could be done with that image using their tool.

I have not uploaded any images to Instagram, and they have not targeted me with any ads. Pretty easy fix. Stop willingly giving these companies your data, and then complain about what they do with it.

Sigh, the guy willingly and knowingly uploaded his photo to a social media’s AI tool. FAFO. Not news.
