Zuckerberg could make his personal tracking publicly available 24/7 to FB users, it would demonstrate what’s being collected and show his users he is willing to give up his privacy and data for the great benefit that is FB. But if he won’t do it, then why would anyone else give up their data and privacy?
- des1nderlase 5y agoWell, perhaps he is not a "good" product :) Seriously though I'm wondering which ads would target him...
- jermaustin1 5y agoNone probably reach him, since he likely runs blockers.

- etxm 5y agoAll his ads are Halloween costumes of Data from Star Trek.
- Nextgrid 5y agoIf I remember right during the Congress hearing one politician asked Zuckerberg where he went yesterday or something similar and Zuckerberg declined to answer.
- nowherebeen 5y agoSo privacy is only for the rich...
- alistairSH 5y agoDidn't Zuck buy up the homes around his own for extra privacy? Privacy for me, none for thee.
- spurgu 5y agoTo be fair that's something I'd do as well if I could afford it, even if nobody knew who I was.
- dzhiurgis 5y agoMusk done the opposite. Even when you own heaps of land people still know you’re somewhere there. So it’s better to free up those houses and use hotels, etc to jump from place to place.
- simias 5y agoI would say "privacy is only for those who value it". Nobody rich or poor is forced to use Facebook (and plenty of wealthy people do use it). I think Zuckerberg is more sensitized to privacy issues because he knows how the sausage is made.
- nowherebeen 5y ago> Nobody rich or poor is forced to use Facebook (and plenty of wealthy people do use it). That's technically not true though. Whenever website developers add the FB Like button. Those scripts are collecting data about you where you have a FB account or not by placing a cookie on your browser. If the next website you visit also has the Like button, they are tracking you. In this case, we are all "forced" to be tracked. FB's real tracking ability isn't on their platform, but thousands of app and website developers that incorporate their Login and Like buttons.
- throwaway_kufu 5y agoFacebook has violated their own privacy policy many times, faced legal penalties and settled with the FCC for their violations, then violated their settlement agreements with additional data breaches. He isn’t more sensitized to privacy issues, so much as he can afford to spend the time and money required to protect himself...most people, like the majority of his users responsible for him having that kind of wealth, don’t have the luxury.
- OzzyB 5y agoThis would actually be a good move if they were willing to accept that their reputation has taken a huge hit and they need to take measures to restore trust. I doubt they would do that and try for the trusted plan of legal warfare and whataboutism.
- malloreon 5y agoWhy only Zuck and not every FB employee? They all benefit from what FB does, just because he makes the most from it doesn't mean the rest of them aren't partially responsible.
- drclau 5y agoI wonder, do you think FB expects all employees to use FB?
- hasmolo 5y agoyeah, in the interview they ask you to build clones of a service and are shocked if you haven’t used it.
- ganoushoreilly 5y agoIronically they do, internally everything is around a Facebook profile (granted this was true when I was last there years ago). I imagine it’s still the same.
- blackoil 5y agoIs it public profile or professional profile. My company gave me an Id which is used for anything, but I consider it as company property and not my personal id.
- dvfjsdhgfv 5y agoNot all of them, but it would be very strange not to use the product you work on, even in some rudimentary form.
- dylan604 5y agoSadly, I have first hand exeperience working on software where the devs clearly 1) did not use the software they created, 2) did not fully understand the purpose of the software
