Facebook is a private company. It will do its best for its shareholders.
And as best as I can tell, what this german minister of "justice" and a segment of the politcal and business elites are complaining about is that they don't get to control facebook. These authoritarians want to control what people read, what people say and how they think. No different than saudis or the chinese or the russians complaining about facebook.
If you don't like facebook, stop using it. If germans don't like facebook, create a german version of facebook. Frankly, the germans should be more worried about the nazi/stasi-esque german intranational spying. It's strange how the people complaining the most about facebook and its privacy violations/spying are also the leaders in spying on its own citizens. I doubt even china spies on its own citizens as much as the british and the germans do.
- alkibiades 8y agopeople hate facebook because trump won and brexit passed and they hate that the people didn’t listen to the elites.
- colordrops 8y agoI assume this is sarcasm.
- alkibiades 8y agoyou just think it’s a coincidence that all the fb hate started after trump got elected?
- darkpuma 8y agoIt didn't.
- alkibiades 8y agoyes it did. atleast the latest wave of intense fervor. it started when people claimed russian bots on fb affected election. of course there’s always been some criticism but not to the same extent
- darkpuma 8y ago> atleast the latest wave of intense fervor. That's moving the goalpost to a subjective location. But if you never saw intense criticism of Zuckerberg and his company on HN before the 2016 election outcome, then you just weren't paying attention. The "dumbfucks" comment was what, a decade ago?
