How about
Live Porn Chat now?
Plus the preview of a video: a scantily clad young woman.
Whether on Facebook or Instagram, inquiries like these come in abundance.
T. keeps pushing them away.
They end up in the spam folder, but somehow they get back to it again and again.
Some of them then don't know what is most effective: block, report, simply delete?
Then he asks himself: This digital advertising company has the best algorithms in the world.
They keep suggesting content that T. cannot ignore.
“My feed knows me better than I know myself,” he says.
Facebook earns billions and billions from it.
And is not able to filter out "Live Porn Chat" and delete profiles that spread unwanted information?
It can't be that difficult!

Most of the time, these messages trigger a brief moment of shame in T. When he's removed the message, he keeps scrolling and quickly forgot about it. But then there are the days, in view of the subsiding pandemic, when T. is in the open-plan office and researches on Facebook or Instagram: to see how companies present themselves there, which advertisements they place or to find business contacts. And then there are those unwanted messages again. T. pushes it away hectically and turns around nervously: Has anyone seen the half-naked woman on his screen? He blushes and secretly begs Mark Zuckerberg to finally free him from it.
