How much of your life does Instagram really know?
Original: Você já parou pra pensar quanto da sua vida o Instagram conhece? Seus gostos, horários, rostos, locais… tudo vira dado.
A reflection on how much personal data Instagram collects from its users — tastes, schedules, faces and locations, all converted into advertising targeting. The post promotes Pixelfed, an open-source, ad-free photo-sharing network where users choose their own server and keep control of their data, as a privacy-respecting alternative to Meta's platform.
Why now: Growing concern over social media data collection is driving interest in decentralised, privacy-focused alternatives like Pixelfed.
