Yeah, I agree Facebook's fundamentally broken and I think it's going to take some kind of GDPR-type regulation to fix things (and hopefully "creatively destroy" it).
The idea that I was arguing for is that their untrustworthiness means Facebook is in error, and it's not the user's error for trusting them at some point and having that trust abused. It's only the former that will justify the kind of regulatory response to bring them to heel, and the latter is mainly a reaction to prevent that reckoning.
- CaptainZapp 8y agoFacebook is in error, and it's not the user's error for trusting them at some point and having that trust abused We have absolutely no argument about this point. Cutesy passive aggressivenes also doesn't really help their case. It was that, which really turned me off. I couldn't have imagined at that time how dirty that company really is.
