    Your personality is not proprietary and will be used for profit.

    You will continue to provide shareholder value, even in death.

    Your family and loved ones can only look on in horror as your digitally reanimated corpse slings ads for products and services to pull more victims into the machine.

    The machine hungers.

      Yeah, they should be able to have a little necromancy, you know, as a treat.

      Imagine if they get hold of artificial organs, and then they ship-of-Theseus people until their consciousness controls a fully artificial body. Unable to die, drowning in medical debt, the dead labor on. I bet that would generate a lot of value for stakeholders.

      I would have probably never thought that 16 years after it’s release, A Serbian Film would be an accidentally good allegory for American tech and social media platforms.

      There will be people whose entire lives have been archived on Facebook. From mom peeing on a stick till they die. Because even if they don’t sign up for Facebook, they will know people who use it and those people will post pictures, video clips and anecdotes about them without even asking. So yeah, some people’s entire life history will be owned by Facebook.

      That’s one reason why I fucking never posted pics of any of my nieces and nephews while I still had a profile on that hellsite.

    “I can’t believe how big you’ve grown, how big my perfect grandkids have grown. It’s amazing, the way that time slips away. I’m sorry I haven’t been able to come to their baseball games or your wedding, but I’m sure you understand how limited I’ve been. The unlimited package is only $49.99 per month, sweetie. You can always have me in your corner, but I can understand how an old woman like me might not be wanted there.”

    This has existed since the 2010s, the patent should never even have been granted to Meta.

    Don’t they have the rights to any media you post on Meta?

    So, if you post enough photos and videos of yourself,they can generate a 3D model of you, and capture a voiceprint.

    And then they can pop you in the Metaverse where you will do and say whatever they want FOREVER

      You can’t, all your content is being owned and stored by Meta, see TOS. means, if you delete all your post and your account, it remains still stored there.

      by uploading, you grant Meta a license to use those photos according to their terms of service

      Deleting may not remove that license. They can change their terms of service to whatever suits them.

      Unless you’re in Europe, which I think has some laws around that.
