This amounts to a bribe paid to the newspapers to perhaps tone down their narrative on FB. Nothing has to be explicitly stated except it's the old don't bite the hand that feeds you methodology. Much like those absurdly high speaking fees Clinton took in from places like Goldman Sachs. Or all those generous payments to the Clinton Foundation. They all amount to "legal bribery".
Facebook makes money selling private information.
So what is he saying, Facebook will no longer gather and sell information?
Rhetorical question because we know that is not going to happen.
“We have a responsibility to get Democrats elected...”
Yup. Sorry fixes everything.
Hopefully, people will start leaving Mugbook in droves. If they are smart, they will.
Someone with an ego/bank account that big is not going to apologize to the little people. Too demeaning.
I must admit this whole Affair has me completely and totally baffled. When Barack Obama use these exact same techniques in 2008 and 2012 he was hailed as the digital god of the new age. Somehow When Donald Trump uses exactly the same methods, he is reviled I truly don’t get it. I truly don’t get how the readership of whoever reads these things and thinks that they understand what’s going on can hold these two thoughts in their brain at the same time.
Once you apologize...you lose.
odd but i don't see the words i'm or sorry anywhere... non apology apologyThis will now be the Big Excuse to totally flush conservatives from the internet.
The ‘beauty’ of all this is that the Cambridge people were NOT involved with the Trump campaign, the ‘don’t go near the window because he may fly away’ Cambridge rep virtually said he would ‘just die(sigh)’ if he even IMAGINED that the DT people were going to use HIS data.
Yet, we continue to ‘blame’ PDT & the Russians (what happened to the ‘more flexibility with Vlad AFTER the election and ‘Mitt - the 80s called Russia is our FRIEND) for everything ‘wrong’ with the world...
Did he also apologize for giving Obamadork unfettered access to all Fakebook users in 2012?
He would not have had to ‘apologize’ if facebook had been used to help hilLIARy win- they would have been celebrating it.
Poor move on his part, this just establishes how serious a problem he has on his hands. But as I want Facebook to die and everyone involved to go bankrupt and the executive tier prosecuted for their extremely shady business model. No one ever gave informed consent to anywhere near this level of invasiveness and personal exposure to arbitrary third parties.
Is there anything more pathetic than a progressive who fell out of favor with progressives, trying to get back into their good graces? (Looking at you too, Jennifer Lawrence)
Friends have been encouraging me to join Facebook. The Zuck has made up my mind. Nyet.
