Privacy for me but not for thee.
This is the same asshole who called his users dumb fucks for trusting him, ran a PR campaign with slogans like "privacy is dead", got filthy rich by exploiting our personal data, and used that wealth to buy all the mansions around his, for privacy.
- aliasxneo 2y agoBut he’s apologizing for everything now, so it’s ok. /s
- FredPret 2y agoWasn’t he like 21 at the time? We’ve all said some stupid shit and later apologized. The healthiest thing is for everyone to move on.
- johnnyanmac 2y agoAFAIK he didn't move on. He's being tried in real time in multiple countries and still does it. That's part of the problem. I moved on years ago, but he probably still has my data.
- ceejayoz 2y agoAn apology from a serial killer is pretty meaningless if they spend the next twenty years killing people. Same applies here.

- stackghost 2y agoNo I think the healthiest thing would be to dismantle Meta, seize Zuckerberg's wealth, and roll it into social programs. "Moving on" and letting a social parasite continue to profit from our personal data seems very far down the list of healthy things.
- taneq 2y agoBut if we seize his wealth, then we might seize my wealth when I finally become a multibillionaire! I don’t want to risk it. /s
- fwn 2y agoThis argumentative pattern comes up regularly. It's the idea that someone arguing against something they think is wrong (on moral, strategic, practical grounds - it doesn't matter) is somehow less valid because it's unlikely that the arguing person will ever be personally affected by it. It's completely bogus, though; technically, it's an ad hominem. A distraction.
- meiraleal 2y agothe argumentative pattern of defending billionaires that exploit society reducing arguments to fallacies also comes up very regularly. A distraction.
- FredPret 2y agoMy life is materially and socially richer because of Facebook and Instagram. I frequently get laser-focused targeted ads that actually help me discover products I love. Unsure how I’m getting exploited. Seems to me I’m better off all round and all I had to do was to be alive in 2024.
- stackghost 2y agoI have never in my life encountered an advertisement that I enjoyed. Nor have I ever encountered a product that I "loved". That is a completely bizarre and alien mindset to my own.
- latexr 2y ago> We’ve all said some stupid shit and later apologized. That’s worth nothing if you don’t mean it. It’s not like he apologised and changed his behaviour. > The healthiest thing is for everyone to move on. No, the healthiest thing would be for Meta to stop exploiting everyone’s data. Then we can consider moving on. It’s like a guy is repeatedly punching you in the face, apologises but continues doing it, and you’re saying “well, it’s healthy for us to just move on” while still being punched in the face.
- maeil 2y agoWe've all greatly accelerated a few genocides in Myanmar and not given a shit. People should stop harping on about it, he's only human!
