“Algorithm” — A Friendly Chat That Will Make Your Blood Run Cold

4 years ago

Are you sure you know the people who chat with you on social media and messenger? If you don’t see an actual person, it could actually be anyone who is texting you. The writer Anton Freedland in his story called Algorithm showed a dialogue that will make you think about this on a deeper level.

We at Bright Side editorial have read this chat with curiosity, and with the author’s permission, we are sharing it with our readers.

Do you have friends who often text you, but who never answer your calls?

It's actually creepy if it's true, how could Facebook even do something like that... how would that be legal?

It probably breaks a lot of privacy rules, but my guess is that it's an option that's defaulted to be allowed, so they only can't do it when you turn it off
