The strategy as worded isn't wrong, assuming I understand their terminology. If an account with no special privileges can access the information at least once, it's essentially public information.
People are very worried about what it and isn't public, but these in-between areas where a platform puts up hurdles still aren't private.
- uoaei 5y agoOf course, Facebook designs their platform to incentivize sharing publicly whenever possible, and designs dark patterns to dissuade people from understanding the full extent of what they can control with respect to their privacy.
- joe_the_user 5y agoReality also incentivizes sharing things publicly. But screenshot sharing is huge on Facebook and on the Internet generally. The only thing kind-of-like-privacy that exists on the Internet is "encrypted messages sent to well-vetted actual friends" and anonymously posted things well-scrubbed of identifying information. Everything else is just something to make people feel better. And most people's stuff doesn't come out and create a scandal because most people's stuff is boring and unimportant, that's the main protection the average person has.
- uoaei 5y ago> Reality also incentivizes sharing things publicly. Lol, no it doesn't. This is some strange, un-self-critical shilling for Facebook driven by an impulse of what seems only to be contrarianism.
