Who is ever going to trust that these settings actually do anything except for the button animation after the previous two weeks of privacy disaster for Facebook?
Probably most of the country, actually. =\
Mark my words, their stock price goes right back to $180 over the next two weeks.

- jimejim 9y agoThat's kind of a silly comment when we have proof that Facebook's poor design lead to abuse.
- djohnston 9y agothere's a distinction between abuse from a third party and outright lying on the part of fb. suggesting that deleting data leads to nothing more than a CSS animation is asserting the latter.
- rhacker 9y agoI think the reality is that data will no longer "look" like it's in the data download, I'm sure FB will keep it to continue performing ML algorithms to pursue more and more ad revenue. Hopefully they will at least remove the code that is collecting it so that it stops in the future. No tin foil hat needed to believe this route.

- dleslie 9y agoFacebook users are still the product, and information about them is still what brings Facebook revenue. Let's say a user makes these settings as strict as feasible, but only some or none of their contacts do the same; in that, the default and common case, the information about the concerned user may still exist in some form.
