    Don't blame the people falling for this. I routinely try to figure out something basic (how do I stop YouTube history? Can I stop Chrome from keeping browsing history? ) and then I spend hours, get confused, ask Twitter, nobody knows. Of course regular people are confused.https://twitter.com/aseitzwald/status/1164013059091906561 …

    The viral power of disinformation right here: Powerful, talented people with access to experts lend their credibility and platform to propagate something that, even if not obviously a hoax, at least warrants a quick Google search first thanks to its Nigerian Prince-level writing. https://twitter.com/TaylorLorenz/status/1164007749442822144 …

        If people are falling for hoaxes on social media policies, that is on the social media companies. I spend my life studying them and I am confused almost every single week and make mistakes. ("Oh, I thought I turned that off. Oh wait, that's not how it works. Twitter, help!!!").

        I’m not blaming the regular people, I’m talking about celebrities who could use their giant platforms more responsibility. A 30 sec Google search shows plenty of news about *other* new Instagram rules, but not this. There would be tons of articles if this were real.pic.twitter.com/SNTtdakh6B

        I think the real problem is that the giant platforms are not responsible in making things clear. The level of confusion and distrust is sky high (I can't convince anyone Facebook isn't listening in on their mic!) because it's been 10+ years of confusion and bait and switch.

        I have turned off the recording of my YouTube watch history and search history but it has no effect on the recommendations.

        Replying to @BenjaminMClark

        Yes, because controls were in *two* places. I turned off one, thinking it was off only to find out that it was surreptitiously in two places. You somehow had to read their mind. They may have fixed it since. Your naive assumptions are unwarranted, but it's okay. You're welcome.

        Some people assume all celebs have specific social media ppl, so some of this is just surprise that either that person wouldn’t double check this before they post, bc their job depends on it, or that some celebs post their own stuff directly eg the inimitable Martha Stewart.

        @aseitzwald @TaylorLorenz There is another angle to consider beyond lack of transparency. This hoax falls on fertile ground because it is entirely consistent with expectations of conduct by Silicon Valley giants. The internet hasn’t exactly been predicated on securing permission.
