I'm kind of amazed over the attention FB is receiving over the data leak and their general attitude over privacy. They have been incredibly clear that they don't value privacy at all, Zuck even said so years ago.
- They have a huge spam-bot problem that they willfully ignore;
- use aggressive email and notification technique to re-engage users;
- stone-wall traditional publishers to accommodate their distribution techniques
- sell and trade personal user information for advertising
- Have most security and privacy settings buried under submenus, almost intentionally built to ignore
- Have a history of shady apps and games on their systems with questionable value to the user
- Have a culture of growth at all costs, without regard to the substance of that growth.
All of the above was known for years, has nothing to do with the recent breach or 2016's election. I just can't understand why this is a surprise or why we should trust a word FB says.
- gaius 9y agoZuck even said so years ago. Zuck also got a free pass on his “young people are smarter” comments. I hope the rampant ageism catches up with FB too.
- speedplane 9y agoExactly. Sure, he put out a press release and some PR moves "expressing regret" of his "word choice", but does he really regret or care? Impossible to tell when he is sincere, impossible to trust him.
