      Not even getting into obvious biases that Echo Look will spit back at you from its training data. That will be the tip of the iceberg.

      Advertisers openly say it's best to sell make-up to women when they feel "fat, lonely and depressed." With this data, won't have to guess.

          The great thing about claiming to know somebody's internal mental state is that there's no way to prove you're lying to make a sale.

          Seems completely unsurprising they can do this. Feels less ethically questionable if also use this capability to "advertise" interventions?

          It's not difficult to see who is feeling suicidal. Given that, wouldn't it be irresponsible to do nothing?

          Shouldn't there people be identified and shown helpful ads? Maybe even given a more positive news feed? Sometimes even police notified?
