> “It’s going to take time,” Zuckerberg said of Facebook’s privacy-focused future. “I’m sure we’re going to keep on unearthing old issues for a while, so it may feel like we’re not making progress at first. But I think that we’ve shown, time and again as a company, that we can do what it takes to evolve and build the products that people want.”
IOW, they'll talk about privacy for a while until everyone stops talking about how evil FB is. Then they'll slowly stop talking about it and work their way back down to where they are now. All the while not actually doing anything at all to change.
- pinewurst 7y agoIt's about FB/Zuckerberg redefining "privacy" as being between FB users and talking to that. They don't have to work their way back down from that. Privacy between users and FB (e.g. none, even negative) isn't mentioned at all.

- rhizome 7y agoIt's about FB/Zuckerberg redefining "privacy" as being between FB users and talking to that Even moreso, it'll be about FB redefinining "privacy" as "whatever FB is doing with their users," then lobbying themselves into a regulatory capture for the nation (globe?) as a whole. I forget where I heard it, but there's an old aphorism, "of course you're free, because this is what freedom looks like."

- danielcampos93 7y agoThis reminds me of when the cloud started to get hip and executives would insert the word everywhere. Cloud + 2019 ~= privacy or AI

- Zelphyr 7y agoThis is 100% accurate given that it's exactly what they have done time and again since almost their founding.
