PLEASE SIGNAL BOOST this shit is scary.

did everyone just forget the whole Facebook/Cambridge Analytica using personality quizzes to gather data on people and then use it to influence elections thing or what

Update:

[Image description:

The original post has two screenshots from Facebook. All profile pictures and names are blocked out by rectangles of different colors to indicate different users.

The first image uses light blue in place of the user. It reads, “light blue invited you to join the private group A group where we all pretend to be ants in an ant colony.”

The second image shows a post on this group’s page. The same light blue color from before posts, “We reached the center of the earth. Now what?” Four comments, all different user colors, spell out different words in all caps with a space between each letter. These words are “scurry” “dig” “work” “melt”

The reblog has two more pictures taken from the same ant-themed Facebook group. User information is now scribbled out in different colors, rather than using neat rectangles.

The first picture shows a post that says, “It has come to my attention that when we put the spaces in-between letters it makes it difficult for visually impaired ants to know what we’re saying and so I was wondering if we could try to make this group more accessible for them.

(The text to voice can’t figure out what we are saying with the spaces)

(Picture for attention)”

Beneath is a close up picture of an ant.

The second picture shows the comments on this post. Each word is spelled out in all caps, but with no spaces between the letters. The words are “adapt, adapt, inclusion, love, adapt, adapt.” Each word is posted by a different user except for “love” and one of the “adapts”
