I think (especially with regard to Cambridge Analytica, where even if you disregard the political thrust of the narrative, it shows Facebook is careless with data; the general principle of privilege escalation where some subset of accounts

The 1990s were very Information Superhighway (I get that's said in a mocking tone now for people who didn't actually know what the internet was, but I tend to use it unironically) It's just a shame about the antitrust stuff a
