“We don’t currently have plans to notify users individually,”

**************

Read: Our users don’t deserve to know their personal data is vulnerable and likely in someone else’s hands.

Suckerberg is just ticked he didn’t get to sell the user info before the hacker did.

Facebook and Amazon are about the most evil corporations ever conceived. They are vile-

They tout themselves as “ethical” by jumping on these faddy bandwagons but in reality believe in nothing except their bottom line. These businesses exist because they violate people privacy, exploit labor in the worst imaginable ways, they have no loyalty to their employees, country, religion, or anything for that matter.

Anyone still using Suckerberg’s Fakebook is just downright stupid.

I found some huge price gouging being done on some Amazon products, alerted them of such and even posted comments indicating such. Their response: No response and my posts were either canned/removed or not posted after review.

Both of them, along with Google, Twitter, etc. need to be broken up in Ma Bell fashion like yesterday.

Now that is a bald-faced lie. Even if the lie was true, I am sure one of the Facebook programmers could kick out some script to leverage their advertising platform and send the message out as an "ad". I am certain that they could have it working in under two weeks. and I making a statement based on being a IT professional working in the corporate world for 25 years and I've worked with the edge no databases that Facebook uses to hold customer data.

I have six different Facebook accounts with fake identities. I hope they’re ALL compromised.

That explains my phone call from The Firm whereby I was told that a complaint was filed against me probably leading up to legal action. I asked who they were . Polk county “documents” department. They had my cell number , name and dob.

I was on Facebook for some very rudimentary, infrequent networking purposes up until the middle of last year. Then I learned that my account had been signed into from Houston, 300 miles away. I immediately terminated/deleted my account. I had no personal info entered anyway - even the birthday I provided was fake.

Simple explanation-—

Dear FB useres.

Hey, you joined on your own free will. Had you not signed up we wouldn’t have had your info available to be hacked. Your bad.

Thanks, your pal Mark.

I hope some lawyers come up with a good class action lawsuit. How come other companies have to notify their users of any leaks?
