How about the fact that Zuckerberg was summoned to Washington to testify before Congress and failed to disclose the ongoing data-sharing agreements FB has with 60 or so device manufacturers?[1]
In addition to willfully misleading Congress it also likely violates their 2011 FTC consent decree[2]. Is this also just part of the 'media narrative' you claim is different from reality? I think these revelations amount to pretty "scammy behavior" as well, to borrow your terminology.

- miracle2k 8y agoIt's exactly what the parent seems to be writing about. What they are saying is that the WSJ article is highly misrepresentative, that rather than there being a "data sharing" agreement, it would be more correct to say that Facebook hired them to program an app; and that app, installed on the device of the users, communicates directly with the Facebook servers, thus sharing no data with anyone.
