Or more correctly I should say it is the bland words first originated in the advertising industry to reduce people to units so they could then be marketed too, distanced and depersonalized another variable to be factored in for the spreadsheet data that is then reduced to $ & cent's
So the exec's/shareholders can pore over this data, nod happily if the curve was going up, cause that meant they were making money and avoid any uncomfortable feelings like, Is this the right thing to do? Or any other questioning nagging doubts. -

honest and truthful answer
In computerspeak. Template? targeted advertising? You'd have to give me a time stamp. Im not listening thru that again.

I stopped worrying about facebook when all the young people left.
Its some of the oldies that are the bigger worry, they'll fall for Marks sanitized vision of a future. In which FB will throw out a wide variety of opinion to counter the closed groups that breed on FB. How they will do that is unclear, we just have to trust Mark. But he doesnt do himself any favours, in so many ways, chatting to Yuval Harari. Try sitting thru 90 m looking at him.

The devil is in the detail I know.
Like this article, while we opine how our minds are being polluted. In other parts of the globe peoples environments are being polluted with the waste of the hardware now no longer fulfilling the needs of the mental polluters of the west.
And if you click on the “About this content” in the upper left of the page The Gates Foundation grubby fingerprint can be found. Is that a conscience salve? Or maybe someone is still digging their rabbit hole just in case it comes in handy later on, to hide in.The Buddha said it best 2500 yrs ago Life is suffering and we create our own suffering (unless you happen to be born poor or the wrong part of the world- a 21st century caveat).

And so
According to The Daily Beast all Trump wanted to talk about, when he met Dorsey, was why his follower numbers were down, and all Dorsey wanted to talk about was what a good job Twitter had done re the opiod crisis.
And I hear the ghost of a Roman emperor was playing the fiddle somewhere in the background. -

Maybe a new development in politics, but not for humanity, and that is where the problem is our selves. Even tho the current High Priest Dorsey dresses like a monk, and his predecessor The Zuck thought youth conquers all. Their humanity seems to have got lost along the way, or were the pieces of silver to tempting.

we accept them everywhere else
Doesnt mean the perpetrators will accept them tho'. Unless penalties of some kind are enforced and I mean drastically. But their malfeasance helps the power possessors (I dont know what to call them) maintain their positions, so I dont see that happening any time soon. The best hope is brave people like Carole Cadwalladr continue to take them on and many follow in their footsteps.

working on contract for Darth Vader is just a hell of a career opportunity.
Well he did used to be a white knight, until he fell in that volcano and had to don that breathing apparatus that makes that creepy noise...still...he was a whitey knighty, maybe he'll reinvent himself... oh thats right, once the Dark Lord has a hold over you the only way out is death, no cake. ;-))

the same Katie Hopkins being a commentator on Newstalk ZB,
That was a plain lazy news item. Kate H had a snark at Jacinda on Twitter re her wearing a hijjab after the CHCH attacks in light of what happened in Sri Lanka. As if thats news!
And as for NZME ripping/riffing off a song title for their latest ad campaign. Bunch of tossers, the lot of them. Dress in black all they like, its not going to make any of them cool.
