Yes, do you genuinely believe that they have sufficiently changed after the vast amount of data given away to Cambridge Analytica and other firms just two years ago mean they should have access to historical data?
I genuinely think you should have to opt in to data sharing when a company covered by CCPA is purchased. I think you can make a very compelling case that this sale covers the sale of data from Giphy to Facebook which many users may not want them to do.
- throwaway4715 6y agoI don't think whether they have changed affects their ability to buy Giphy. Your CCPA point is interesting though. However my guess is the CCPA is unlikely to be used in that way as it would affect nearly every acquisition in every industry.
- zarriak 6y agoThen it should apply in every industry. It is absurd to think that this is not inherent a sale of data and of data collection technologies. I would assume that in Facebook's acquisition these are two different things have been priced in even with other social media companies like twitter removing giphy from within the app, they have years of historical Twitter Gif data. I would find that data much more valuable than something that will probably be removed in short order from many apps now that it is owned by Facebook.
