I don’t think it’s about the effort needed. The basic idea is just too complex for most people.

It would be easy to send a notification “you haven’t interacted with Sally in 6 months, so we’re removing her from your network. Click here to add her back” or something along those lines and nobody would be the least confused. They’d probably be annoyed often enough though.

An AI themed vacation in SF all the way from Sydney? Yikes.

People like what they like.

You don’t even need most of the files in the packages. Just pull out the files you need.

At meta your personal FB account is your work account. I had to create one to get paid. It’s the same identity used in internal systems.

Yes, but, so what? It isn't a license to train AI on employee personal information.

That said -- social media websites were later removed from the "work-related" list. So there was at least some recognition it was overreach and did not match the stated justification.

I’m going to need to buy on the individual market. Talking to a broker he said Medicare is a great deal, and you should take it if you can.
