Maybe Zuck can team up with Larry to complete our transition to a surveillance/police state.
It’s insane to me that anyone would do this knowing how little Facebook respects privacy.
- JohnFen 2y agoIt's insane (but not surprising, sadly) to me that so many people have such a level of disdain for their fellow humans that they're willing expose them to Facebook's, or any tech company's, spying ways.
