I doubt it will make a difference to most people. The staunch pro-privacy stance really only exists on tech-savvy forums like HN. Go on reddit sometimes and observe how people will say "so what if Google has all my info, it's useful and free". If Zuckerberg calling his users dumb fucks for trusting him didn't get them off the platform, a "small" privacy violation like this won't either.
- dsharlet 9y agoThis reddit post is the very top of /r/all right now: https://www.reddit.com/r/videos/comments/79i4cj/youtube_user_demonstrating_how_facebook_listens/ https://www.reddit.com/r/videos/comments/79i4cj/youtube_user... And the general sentiment appears to be very far from what you claim. I think it's possible that this issue is going to come to a head this time around. I don't know what the outcome will be. Just saying it's confirmation bias (the likely real explanation?) may not be enough to satisfy people.
- jacobush 9y agoReddit is a small vocal tech savvy minority. The moral majority just don’t care or are too busy working three shifts to care.

- cooper12 9y agoJust because it was when he was young, does it diminish the truth of his statement or that he actually felt that way?
- Dylan16807 9y agoAssume it was perfectly true at the time. Is that relevant to the current state of Facebook, with 20k employees, public stock, and a 33-year-old Zuckerberg?
