Facebook 'intentionally and knowingly' violated UK data privacy laws
- bencollier49 8y agoI'll be interested to see if the government actually acts on these recommendations; they are a little preoccupied at the moment. It's going to be difficult to get right. For example, there have been calls to compel media streaming sites to carry and prioritise BBC content. It's a related issue - content doesn't often meet criteria of fair and honest reporting, especially all the wacky conspiracy stuff which actually props up a lot of extremist thinking.
- zeroname 8y ago> Mark Zuckerberg showed "contempt" toward parliament by not appearing before them. Who wouldn't? I mean, have you seen the British parliament? Why should a US citizen be compelled to appear before the parliament of the has-been empire that the US has long been independent from? Who's next up, the king of Portugal? The prince of Monaco? The UK is free to kick Facebook out of the country, ban its citizens from accessing the platform, and declare outlawry upon Zuckerberg and his minions.
