FB's case is different. I think the term for FB's case is private data abuse rather than leak. Cambridge Analytica took the data through API just like every other app doing at the time, but violated the terms of use. FB is guilty because it designed the wrong way (no excuse) to share the information (still under consent). For example, banks share your personal info around all the time (say promo mails). For Yahoo, that's ... poor technology & management.
- deft 8y agoyou're making the case that Facebook was negligent and Yahoo wasn't. I don't think that's true because Yahoo kept the hack a secret from auditors and users for 3 years.
- utopcell 8y agoConsidering there was a foreign state agent involved in the hack, we should consider the possibility that Yahoo could not disclose the hack even if they wanted to.
