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.

you’re all being suckered so easily

if apple and tesla hate something or someone, it means it must not be hard left enough.

Zuckerburgh is not a Conservative by an stretch but he is MUCH MORE open to different ideas than the other leftists out there

This one is easy to figure out

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.

You just hit on why it’s an issue. It was used by Republicans.

"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...................

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

Absolutely true. Scary people. In the meantime, Musk has been enriching himself while being subsidized by taxpayers, and Apple has used cheap, if not slave labor to turn a profit. Also, lets not forget Apple decreasing the speed of their older iPhones (to save battery life - yeah, right)..

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.

Nothing. Nothing has changed other than the fact it was discovered that the data had been purchased on behalf of a Republican’s campaign? And the hypocrisy of the left has definitely not changed.

The democrats thought Obama as a genius when he got personal information on millions of people from Facebook.
