Anyone who wants to can scroll through my comment history and see that on average I’m the ex-FB guy defending FB. And usually the claim or accusation is debatable, if not dubious.
But as someone who’s got a lot of sweat equity in seeing FB ads pay for all that long-haul fiber that HN smart asses take for granted, FB is on legitimately thin ice here. It’s possible for someone with a blog to learn things about a cookie that shouldn’t be shared. What FB can know and what FB should know, and what FB will admit to knowing are potentially all different things.
FB should learn to forget medical data, sexual data, political data, etc. etc.
The short term erection some lit major at an agency gets from seeing some intrusive targeting option is not worth the trust that FB has somehow managed to maintain with most real users. And if you’ve got a new take on why FB sucks and turned down an offer, feel free to take it there. The world has more than enough “I’m angry at leetcode” deep threads.
