I think Facebook is terrible. So I don't use it. I have a choice.
These same MPs would likely howl in fury if their secret communications were stolen and published by an entity like Wikileaks (for example). Be careful what you wish for.
Of course the difference here is that one is "legal".
- rchaud 8y agoLet them howl. When they've been involved in shady stuff that's against the public interest, I will have no sympathy for them, just as I don't when FB is the "victim". I am glad they didn't decide to sit on it because of any fears about "I don't want this happening to me, so I won't snitch". By the way, these emails were not obtained via hacking/phishing, so the Wikileaks comparison doesn't make any sense.
- samstave 8y agoHow many of these MPs show up in Panama/Paradise Papers? This was a valid question. When talking about them getting and publishing the FB files etc.. and asking if they would want their dirty laundry aired - asking if they show up in those releases is both relevant and obvious.
- sixothree 8y agoI don't think your choice to not use Facebook alters by very much the amount of data they collect about you. I think other steps are needed if that is your goal.
