Leaving Facebook’s party

If you want to delete Facebook, it won’t happen instantly, said Heather Kelly in CNN .com. Before you do it, you’ll want to test life without the app for a week or so. If you find yourself happier, there are several steps: “First, download all of your years of data. On the desktop version of Facebook, click the triangle in the top right corner and select Settings. Select Your Facebook Information and then Download Your Information.” That will get you all your contacts and posts. Then go back to the same section and click the blue Delete Account button. “It takes up to 90 days for Facebook to clear out your information,” and even then data that Facebook has already mined and shared “will live on forever in databases.” While many of the worries around technology that uses AI to create convincing fake videos have centered on national security, such videos have proliferated in porn. One such video that used Johansson’s image garnered 1.5 million views. The videos are in a legal gray zone, and “sadly, it doesn’t seem like there’s much in the way of legal recourse at the moment.”
