Are you suggesting that putting Muslims in a detention center and harvesting their organs is somehow "a trumped up boogeyman"? [4] [5] Having a bad API and letting Cambridge Analytica abuse that data was bad, but everyone who had their data abused still has all their vital organs. Also odd that you blame Facebook but not the Russian intelligence for those actions - Facebook should have done better but they were inherently on the defensive. Maybe we should blame the foreign intelligence intentionally undermining a foreign election and take action to stop other foreign interference such as TikTok?

They did not suggest anything re: detention centers. You are conflating two separate events. We are talking about the direct effects on US democracy, in which case Facebook has already demonstrated harm. The fact that Russia was involved is only significant in terms of the resources available to "attack facebook" as it were. Many other countries and even private businesses have comparable resources -- this is the problem. American society is still vulnerable due to the business model of Facebook. The idea that we can just trust other countries/corporations to not engage in the same bad acts as Russia is absurd.
