Is there really much advantage to a "Facebook that is not Facebook" when it's run by one of the few companies to rival Facebook for shady privacy practices?
A "Facebook that's not Facebook" run by Duckduckgo or EFF or something like that would be useful. Run by another privacy destroying advertising company it's not very helpful, IMO.
- bluthru 10y agoExactly, and I don't think they would start competing on privacy.
- reitanqild 10y agoI'd say Google seems to be in another league compared to Facebook when it comes to pricacy. Google had the "buzz" fail. For Facebook that seemed to be modus operandi for a while: silently make everything public as long as users didn't complain loudly enough. And Facebook still do from time to time: just look at how they are now exploiting Whatsapp users, something I think they promised not to do when they bought it.
