I could see her argument if Facebook was starting up anew. But as its popularity grew, so did what most people would call its abusive use of that data, even if it was technically covered in legalese.
Facebook led people to believe that the invasion of their privacy and commercialization of their data would be minimal. As the invasiveness of its data-mining grew, it buried what was going on in the terms of service contracts that hardly anyone could understand.
It reminds me of Darth Vader’s line, “Pray I do not change the deal further.”
FB did no such thing. People made assumptions. FB was quite up front that all (ALL the data) the data was theirs to do with as they pleased and they pleased to make money with it. There have been mini versions of this “scandal” repeatedly throughout FB’s history, people just don’t pay attention, and then they blame everybody but themselves.
And now that they were caught, they are not onky unapologetic but are trying to make even more money off it.
Liberals!
