Bad and pointless article.
Users don't care whether it was hacked or Facebook gave it away, they care that their data was exposed in ways they weren't aware of.
If anything, the reality (it's intentional) is worse than the misunderstanding (it was hacked). This is no defense of Facebook, nor a counter to the broader narrative.
- smsm42 9y agoVery good article. It explains how it come to the point where the data is exposed. Without understanding it, you can not take measures to change it. If it were "hacking" or breakin, the change should be to have stronger security, while if it's intentional data sharing, the change should be modifying privacy policies and data sharing guidelines. > Users don't care whether it was hacked or Facebook gave it away You say nobody makes a difference whether some company was a victim of security breach or gave away your data voluntarily? Maybe you personally don't but a lot of people do. Scenarios are completely different and responsibility is different. > This is no defense of Facebook, nor a counter to the broader narrative. It is, however, the truth, which seems to be more important than whether or not it defends Facebook or anybody else.
