Dear Facebook, remember when you said only criminals have something to hide?
But thanks for the argument! Now, whenever I have to explain why privacy matters to someone I will say that I don't want facts about me taken „out of context“ because my life is „complex“ and that „might decrease morale“.
- Kilenaitor 5y agoWhen did Facebook say only criminals have something to hide?
- outside1234 5y agoYeah, I think that was Google and Eric Schmidt. Facebook doesn't believe anyone should have anything to hide.
- at-fates-hands 5y agoConfirmed, it was Eric Schmidt (2009): If you're concerned about Google retaining your personal data, then you must be doing something you shouldn't be doing. At least that's the word from Google CEO Eric Schmidt. "If you have something that you don't want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn't be doing it in the first place," Schmidt tells CNBC. . ." https://www.theregister.com/2009/12/07/schmidt_on_privacy/ https://www.theregister.com/2009/12/07/schmidt_on_privacy/
- ashtonkem 5y agoI don’t think I’ve ever seen executives do something to prevent “decreased morale” that hasn’t immediately resulted in morale falling right off a cliff.
- novok 5y agoI remember another meme where govt says "you don't have anything to hide" and then the other side saying "then you don't mind me publishing all of this secret government info then?" and then getting very angry at the other person.
