While such data might be helpful for your friends, these recorded feelings also enable increased surveillance, government profiling, more targeted advertising, and emotional manipulation. Go Rando is a web browser extension that obfuscates your feelings on Facebook. Every time you click \u201cLike\u201d, Go Rando randomly chooses one of the six \u201creactions\u201d for you. Over time, you appear to Facebook\u2019s algorithms as someone whose feelings are emotionally \u201cbalanced\u201d\u2014as someone who feels Angry as much as Haha or Sad as much as Love. You can still choose a specific reaction if you want to, but even that choice will be obscured by an emotion profile increasingly filled with noise. In other words, Facebook won\u2019t know if your reaction was genuine or not. Want to see what Facebook feels like when your emotions are obscured?
