It doesn't really matter what a former PM focused on ad tech says, because true or not, the average user will not believe FB anyways. FB won't be trusted because of it's anti-privacy history and experiments. That FB gets so much data from other sources just increases the impression that FB is not to be trusted. The first argument made in the article is disingenious and only acts to discredit FB even more. It's not just a FB problem, it's an ad tech driven business model problem. However, Facebook keeps on a path that makes it the perfect poster of a company not to be trusted. Listening or not, FB is not trustable.
