Interesting he is using newspapers, he's trying to persuade the older folk. The people most likely to be in government and the most likely to be voters. Got to give it to him, he's smart.
- greenyoda 9y ago> Got to give it to him, he's smart. His PR people are smart. If he were so smart, he would have had the foresight to understand that giving an app access to my friends' personal information just because I gave it access to mine wasn't such a great idea.
- thezilch 9y agoForesight is 20/20. I don't think Zuckerberg (and FB devs) aren't smart or can imagine why giving such data is a bad idea. It's more likely that they thought not many would find out, care, or that when found out that it'd touch their bottom line much. In other words, I think they had plenty of optics and are losing the gamble. I also think they could also only be losing in the short term; I wouldn't bet against "everyone" forgetting about it all in a month and going back to using FB. It's hard to imagine FB's stranglehold letting up. Some startup, prove me wrong.

- 0x4f3759df 9y agoWas it truly Facebook's decision? Maybe there was some CIA/NSA pressure being applied.
- mlb_hn 9y agoAlso, he can't really use Facebook for it if his target audience is the people who stopped using Facebook (they wouldn't see it).
