I'd agree that the outrage is fueled by the election, but I don't think that diminishes the significance of the shift. I think it was the force that was required. Previously, the trade of "all your personal information" in exchange for finding out which harry potter character you were most like seemed reasonable to people. They didn't see the value in their data, and they trusted random 3rd parties with it. Now people are seeing it.
It's like one of those 3d pictures. The "hidden" image was always there in plain sight. People just overlooked it until they stared at it hard enough.
- FLUX-YOU 9y agoUntil FB faces real penalties or suddenly every company starts doing security correctly, there isn't a shift. Just congressional testimonies and FB trying to save itself, which is basically how every other breach usually goes. It's how Equifax went and before FB, that was the breach to do something about because of their position within the banking sector.
