Even a broken clock is right twice a day. And I would even go much further by saying that not one Facebook employee should be trusted to handle the fallout.

- joe_the_user 9y agoWell, given that trust is relative, this scandal seems to involve a whole lot of people implicitly saying you should trust them more than Facebook. And that's the thing. I don't trust Facebook but I would trust less any plan to externally regulate Facebook. The government already forces Facebook and Google to divulge information to them. No one should trust any public Internet forum with their personal information but there's a lot of "impersonal information" that's still safe to share. The best way to deal the recent revelations is to stop giving up any information online, not to Facebook or to anyone. Posting text to Facebook or whoever is secondary. (browse and post anonymously but keep a "vanilla" social media profile for border and other other fun). This all comes down to Facebook selling a kind of "privacy" that's been inherently rendered meaningless by the Internet age - privacy where "people know" get your data but somehow this information won't leak beyond this porous group.
