US Banks Rethink Social Media as a Threat, Not a Marketing Tool

..and elsewhere, Social Media Is Now a Financial WMD.

..yeah, okay. The internet has been around for a little while. So, for 20 or at least 10 years nobody in the bank biz thought beyond "this interwebs thing is really cool!" until now? I don't think so. (cough) Zelle, direct deposit, uh.. and more new ways to move money around fast.. Smells like hypocrisy to me. I can't wait to see how internet content and other data taught AI plays out.

Passing blame around isn't helpful. If there was stupidity, greed, complacency, etc. involved, oh well. Not crimes. If a crime was involved, serve justice. If nothing else, I can digest the take-away, express, vote, etc. how I wish in reaction if desired.

Luck is a funny thing, good or bad and culling the herd is a part of nature too..

AI with auto generated social media integration is scary especially when biased on whatever side it is biased towards.  Sounds make/break especially publically traded companies.  Interesting times ahead.  No way to regulate it either as other countries simply won't so got to live somehow to learn to live with it.  More so than not also with social media and hem using it as marketing has backfired on many companies as recently so companies must rethink a tweet, etc before posting it at highest level of the companies vs. someone in say marketing.  Interesting times coming

...wondering how our post history here could be weaponized.  I had a moderator contact me once and he knew my first name... not cool.  I guess nothing is really private anywhere.

I agree 💯. That is why MyFICO.com account is under a different email address from the one I use here for this forum.

@805orbust Go to "My Settings" where you make siggy changes. Scroll all the way down. All the IP's you ever used.

@FireMedic1   Ugh... well there it is.  And NOT that I have a problem with you guys knowing my name, but mods having access to that!?  Whole different story.  Totally wish I had done what @Jeffster1 did... of course they probably know that one too but... layers.

@805orbust No no no. I dont see anything but me. And the 25 IP's in my profile from computers I sit at 3 jobs to peek in.

Your name could be Waldo for all I know.

The volunteer moderators didn't have as much information as a lot of people believed.  Certainly some, but nothing product related, etc.

My hundreds of VPN IP's are listed

And as CreditCuriosity posted, I can confirm MOD's have very limited info.

A very old @Dinosaur once told me that.

Dang I've been asking y'all for the wrong advice all this time?  🤣
