We have known for more than a decade now that training machine learning models on huge user data sets allows to predict a lot of things with decent accuracy.

Twitter has been gathering a lot of data on all of its user, it is expected them to be able to predict interests like (and much more) this if you use their service.

I think it's more likely that you come of as disingenuous given that you come here to parrot some very well known talking points that are plain fallacies aimed at painting nuclear in a negative way.

Meanwhile, we are getting slow cooked and a lot of people here probably feel the impact of the heat and the urgency of the situation.

Probably because it's not newsworthy as it's systematic, for instance Facebook and Googke have had to pay ever ibcreasing fines for GDPR violation, now exceeding a billion dollar, and get in line with the regulation, or get forbidden to opperate in the EU.

They have been getting those fines for years with a delay of a couple of months to pay them. They would have been barred from the EU long ago if they had not paid them.

In my mind that kind of post comes at best from completely naive people that confuse social media with Google to ask basic questions, and at worst someone with malicious intent to make it look like this is an open question that does not have a clear answer yet (while, as you mentioned, it totally does).

Yep, this has become reeeaaally visible since a week or two.

I used to regularly browse reddit without being logged in, it was a way to experience the default reddit experience for my region, see what people from my country would discuss as many French speaking subs were included.

I could scroll a couple of pages worth of moderately interesting and quite diverse content.

Now it's mostly garbage, I barely reach the end of the first page. The diversity and the quality has gone way done, it's like a distilled facebookesq version of summer reddit.
