Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg speaks to CNNMoney’s Laurie Segall after the news broke this weekend that Cambridge Analytica accessed information from 50 million Facebook users without their knowledge.

LAURIE SEGALL, CNN SENIOR TECHNOLOGY CORRESPONDENT: I want to start with just a basic question, Mark. What happened? What went wrong?

MARK ZUCKERERG, FACEBOOK CEO: So this was a major breach of trust, and I’m really sorry that this happened. You know, we have a basic responsibility to protect people's data. And if we can't do that, then we don't deserve to have the opportunity to serve people.

So, our responsibility now is to make sure that this doesn't happen again.

POI was not far off from showing all of the tracking going on.

Of course. I just find it funny to see Zuck the Cuck pretending he’s oh so sorry.......now. It’s only bad when Republicans do it.

[volunbeer]

That is the complete opposite of their business model. You are the product. They sell you. That’s always been the plan.

Exactly. This is why these platforms are worth so much money and it is not just Facebook. Yahoo, Youtube, Google, and the rest all data mine your online activities so they can target ads to you.

You either accept this when you use the product or you do not use them. Facebook will even adjust your preferences for you (to their benefit) if you do not pay attention as do the others.

FOAD zuckencuck. Your company is a hive of scum and villainy

Script block, Adblock and a private browser protect your anonimity to website data mining. The NSA? Not so much.

All this hub bub is because at one time this company gave this info to the Trump team, who stopped using it way before the election, even though democrats have been using this for years (remember 2012).

Fake book is a free service with user agreements that everyone who uses signs off on.

I wonder now how many people will be closing their accounts.

Nobody.

They are all, one and all, addicted to that crap and no one, especially anyone on this forum, will close their accounts permanently.

Now, if Suckerburg will give me back the three faux accounts I had, I'll close them.

They banned me (or actually the faux personas) for "insulting" another religion and hurting the feelings of some maggot-head imam and some CAIR official.

That's all I ever used the "social" media for...to be unsocial as hell to every moooselimb I ran across.

Facebook sucks...but too many pops and moms and grandpops and grand-mas have been told by their millennial kids and PJ-onesies-wearing grand-kids that you WILL have an account so that all them pictures and vanity postings will have a place to go.I mean, I know I sit on the edge of my chair waiting for the next picture of one of my brat grand-kids...doing some damned thing that kids have done forever, but, for Facebook, is the absolute first time it ever happened.

Personally, I think Facebook is just plain stupid.

Just an outlet for frustrated 20-something year old mommies to brag about their brats latest conquest, i.e., "Oh, little Chauncy shit in the bowl for the first time...here's a picture!"

Yeah...sure.

[Catmom]

Now I understand George Soros...and Mark Zuckerberg.

[RinaseaofDs]

He’s getting sued by everyone. The kimono will open.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

"I’m really sorry that this happened."

Sorry don't feed the bulldog butt head.

[KC Burke]

This is the beginning. Lots of folks have had it with him.What we need now is for someone to make a competitor to Farcebook.

I disagree. Hopefully people will see this social media crap on public platforms is stupidly dangerous. We don't need this to continue.

Remember twenty-five years ago when everyone had a pager as they traveled around all day? That's Facebook -- today's pager.

It’s alot more than that. It is helpful in ways too for certain things.

[VideoDoctor]

As I said in another thread... “Zuck is nothing more than a BEARD for the DEEP-STATE.”

[pgkdan]

WHY do young people think an apology is all that is necessary, when they are responsible for a really big screw up? Sad.

Probably because for their entire lives that's been the SOP for politicians and entertainment types. Say you're sorry and then go back to whatever it was you were doing before you got caught with absolutely no real consequences for your actions.

[pgkdan]

Remember twenty-five years ago when everyone had a pager as they traveled around all day?

If you didn't have a pager you were nobody! I knew a guy who wore one on his belt but didn't have service. He just wanted everyone to think he was so important he couldn't be out of reach. I never had one...for the same reason I hate my cellphone.

[\/\/ayne]

He’s really sorry this happened when a company hired by Republicans did it but is on their side when DNC does it.

[bmwcyle]

He was sorry all the way to the bank.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Bkmrk.

Anybody want some fries with that Whopper?

Zuck is a pathological liar. He would look great in an orange jumpsuit.
