Facebook dropped as much as 6.5 percent on Monday before paring its losses. Its shares have fallen 16 percent to $155.89 since the company disclosed the Cambridge Analytica matter.
“We have a responsibility to protect your data, and if we can’t, then we don’t deserve to serve you,” Zuckerberg told users in a post on Facebook last week. “I’ve been working to understand exactly what happened and how to make sure this doesn’t happen again.”
The thought of anyone probing Mark Zuckerberg is too gross to contemplate.
To me, the scandal isn’t that Cambridge got the data. I’m not going to be fooled by anyone sending me political fake news. The scandal is how much data mining Facebook does on its members without telling them.
What I don’t understand is the ability to mine data through facebook has been known for years.
Facebooks sole existence is to mine data for advertisers. Why are people shocked?
They thought facebook was some sort of honest internet company?
I would not lose any sleep over disconnecting Facebook.....
....if I could only figure out how!
Gotta love all the fake outrage. As if everyone didn’t know Facebook’s privacy issues, as well as social media and the internet in general. It was all good because Zuckerberg was a good little progressive, one of “us” (them). Once Trump tapped into the data, OMG, OMG! We need Congressional Hearings! New Privacy Laws!
Zuckerberg is giving new meaning to the phrase “filthy rich.”
I’m sure the FTC will make sure that FB data will be safe and secure from now on.... for the DNC only.
Ping.
Just sayin’....
How do you trust a guy who stabbed a friend in the back in the first place and has a record of doing so.
After all, aren’t they all Zudkerberg’s ‘friends’ on Facebook?
What better way to spy on everyone than to have each and every person VOLUNTEER THEIR PERSONAL INFORMATION so big brother can watch your every move and KNOW HOW YOU THINK?
Ooooh, maybe the liberals’ solution will be to control the press. Will that satisfy the frothers?? Maybe they could eliminate that pesky Bill of Rights altogether.
Beast corportions. Not freedom or merit based.
If you ask me, it should be the Federal ELECTION Commission that is investigating Fakebook in general, and Zuckerberg and the rest of the 2012 Board of Directors in particular, for violations of the campaign finance laws.
What I am enjoying is the revelation that Zuckerberg maybe an internet genius, but is a total failure as a manager or leader.
For some reason, people seem to think that just because a couple of brainy kids put together something as clever as Facebook, that makes them corporate managers and CEO material.
Zuckerberg’s recent pathetic whining, playing the victim, and incoherent ramblings pretty much proves he is waaaay over his head when it comes to actually managing a company.
