Is it not enough that Facebook and Zuck tread all over their customers privacy on their own platform? Now they want other companies to do it for them with their own customers as well.
This is just another attack on privacy and due process in order to strong arm companies that have services like WhoisGuard which is intended to protect millions of customer’s privacy.
- drKarl 7y agoI agree with everything you said, just a minor comment... Facebook users are not Facebook customers, they are the product. Facebook customers are all the companies which pay Facebook for advertisement.
- KarlKemp 7y agoThis tired cliché is annoying enough when people use it in situation where it arguably has some explanatory power—a complaint about FB’s customer service, say. It adds absolutely nothing to this discussion. Facebook has an interest in retaining users that is indistinguishable here from an interest to retain customers. I struggle to come up with reasons that motivate the incessant regurgitation of memes such as this in online discussions. Sure, I chuckled the first time I saw it because it was novel and somewhat contrarian. But after the hundredth time it feels more like bad ML picking up on the wrong keywords.
