Cigarettes cause cancer.
Facebook is cancer.

The privacy toothpaste is out of the tube.

NSA and their foreign counterparts have it all.

Everything else is just posturing and background noise.

If this tomfoolery keeps up I may just have to delete my fake account.

I really don’t get it. I never signed up for FB because I knew it’s entire business model was to sell personal data to anybody willing to pay Suckerburg’s asking price. What has changed, other than the fact it was discovered that the data had been purchased on behalf of a Republican’s campaign?

That’s the problem with being on the Left, Mark. When they turn on you, they turn with a vengeance.

FWIW, I use FB, but am careful about what I comment on, who my “friends” are, which links I click, and to not use it for research. But Google??? No way. Why is Google getting off the hook? And why is Amazon getting off the hook, with the Alexa spy machine?

If I was one of those tech innovators, I’d be working feverishly on the next Facebook. There has to be someone who could come up with a successful way to provide a social network that doesn’t become filled with garbage, and doesn’t violate the privacy rights of the users.

Maybe this empire is about to be chopped up into multiple fiefdoms. That had already started in a project-based way anyway. I recall there used to only be one phone company, then the hammer of Thor smashed it all asunder, market-wise.
Mark Z. won’t worry. He’s already got his many billion.

"Tesla CEO Elon Musk gave a much shorter reason for the deletion of his companies Facebook pages. 'Just don’t like Facebook,' he wrote. 'Gives me the willies. Sorry.'”

Any former, or present, tech company employee, knowing the capabilities, vulnerabilities, and potential staffing/public encroachments on privacy, would know better than to put his/her private life information and scheduling details "out there" in the cyber world.

One might have expected that those who consider themselves to be "smart and informed," much less "educated" and "tech savvy," would have figured out by now that private information would be subject to being exposed.

No whining about it now! Besides, "facebook" is just the newest form of gossiping over the fence or snooping on the party line.

Anybody who didn’t know FB, and others, were/are selling your personal data, wasn’t paying attention, wasn’t old enough to know better or was just plain stupid..........

If they give you the software free, and you don’t know how they make any money selling a product, you are it...................

Amongst Zuckerberg’s biggest critics in the tech industry is Apple CEO Tim Cook, Tesla’s Elon Musk and Salesforce.com’s Marc Benioff, while many other Silicon Valley firms have fallen silent in the wake of the Facebook user data scandal, a stark contrast to how tech firms usually react when one of their own is attacked.

I guess they figure if they can keep the focus on him we won't notice that they all behave the same way Facebook does.

The mainstream (i.e., non-tech) media and the public are just now noticing what has been in plain site for many years. And Facebook is the tip of the iceberg. If you're using uBlock Origin, look at the blacklisted domains it's blocking when you go to almost any "modern" website.

“Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg is reportedly losing support amongst his peers in Silicon Valley”

It’s “penis envy,” the little Capo has way, way more money than they do. They are all just jealous of his profound wealth, and hope to bring him off of the top of his money pile. I wish them good luck, Zuck the XXXX needs to be brought back to reality.

Live by the dictates of the Social Justice Warriors. Die by the dictates of the Social Justice Warriors.

There's a lesson for other social media companies.

Take the side of freedom for all because when the going gets tough no one will side with you*.

*They will never learn this lesson.

Naw.....when I was young, I smoked for about 20 years, and not ONCE did Marlboro give out any of my personal information or private data.

Facebook needs to go the way of Toys ‘R’ Us.
