For those who may have forgotten, the little prince of Meta more or less started with Facemash, a site that displayed two photos side by side and asked users to vote for which person was “more attractive,” using a mechanism similar to “Hot or Not.”

All “funny” if it weren’t for:

• Privacy: using photographs of people without consent would often violate regulations and, in many countries, personal data protection laws.
• Consent: the people depicted had not chosen to participate.
• Objectification: asking people to rank solely based on their physical appearance can be seen as a form of objectification and can contribute to a disrespectful environment.
• Possible psychological effects: this type of public comparison can affect self-esteem and exclude or humiliate some people.

Not to mention what happened with Cambridge Analytica.

What do people expect from a mind like that?
