Facebook Warns Investors They Expect To Find 'Additional Incidents' of User Data Abuse (siliconvalley.com)
Facebook earned $4.99 billion in the first three months of 2018 (on sales of $11.97 billion). But their quarterly report included some new warnings, according to the Bay Area Newsgroup:
In its 141-page filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission Thursday, Facebook -- like all public companies -- warned of risk factors, the official version of what might keep CEO Mark Zuckerberg up at night. Chief among them is the possibility of other Cambridge Analyticas. "We anticipate that our ongoing investments in safety, security, and content review will identify additional instances of misuse of user data or other undesirable activity by third parties on our platform," Facebook said in its 10-Q filing. It is a point that Zuckerberg made again and again during his Congressional testimony earlier this month.
What's more, Facebook knows it won't catch everything, even though the company is investigating and auditing away after revelations that political data consulting firm Cambridge Analytica accessed the information of up to 87 million Facebook users without permission... "We may also be notified of such incidents or activity via the media or other third parties."

Fuck the Zuck!
For example: Our entire business model.
This is my signature. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
"Facebook earned $4.99 billion in the first three months of 2018 (on sales of $11.97 billion)."
Dammit, if only we'd grossed another $30M and netted another 10.
FB gave permission via the APIs. Zuck is flat our lying and trying to throw everyone under the bus.
20 BILLION per year can't buy someone who cares enough about customer privacy to bother self-policing their partnerships with data brokers, we'll just wait until we're outed by the media instead. #Schmuckberg
Fakebook's on its way down/out - They're clearly in "panic mode" & are attempting "damage control spin" bs while users + investors are leaving them in droves - they did it to themselves.
* It's the price of making something potentially useful & then corrupting it... but, then again?
Facebook almost completely started out corrupt when Zuckerberg STOLE THE CODE FOR IT from the Winklevoss twins (thinking "oh, go sue me - you will win but I will make court costs so high you won't be able to afford it" - WRONG: Those boys have money too & won IIRC/AFAIK!)
APK
P.S.=> Anyone disagree? I wouldn't - it's no "1st" w/ what's happening to them & we've all seen it before from those like them... apk
What are they trying to say? That telling us upfront more data abuse was already in the works and to expect it? Oh gee thanks Facebook.
Facebook doesn't anticipate finding "additional instances of misuse of user data". They've already found it and have no way to hide it. They're just figuring out how to announce with minimal impact.
If they hadn't found it or had found it and thought they could hide it they would keep their mouths shut on the issue.
No crybaby here: I did something about it https://it.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=12027433&cid=56500021/ especially for 'non-dorks' like YOU pal & it works better vs. ANY other SINGLE "so-called 'solution'" out there bar-none doing more for less NATIVELY (vs. "Bolt on 'MoAr'" Illogic-logic that is full of security issues due to over complex design flaws, slowing you vs. speeding you up (hosts do 2 ways), & protecting you vs. the myriad threats online).
Facebook's trackrecord of ads that infect/track/slow users WAS UNACCEPTABLE (I never did fakebook though) so I did something about it.
* You did better?
(Don't bitch about us 'dorks' - we're aware of what the deal is in OUR field & you use our tools too as here you are - don't bite a helping hand that feeds you!)
APK
P.S.=> Additionally - as far as 'dorks'? I did the above - that makes me a 'dork'?? Well, THIS 'dork' was also a 1st string starting Athlete in the NCAA for a national champion lacrosse team too - how about you??? apk
How about providing links to the actual comments instead of insisting everyone take your word that those users actually said those things? You're probably lying about your testimonials or taking quotes out of context.
Arth1 DESTROYED by REALITY https://yro.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=11532533&cid=55833641/ where hosts work vs. the REAL THREAT involved + his "theory" being torn apart EASILY by "yours truly"... lol!
APK
P.S.=> Now, what's that DRIVEL you spewed again? lol... apk
Apk's systematically tearing you apart even more for your lies you project https://tech.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=12042539&cid=56520473/ you have usernames and dates. Search them yourself. It's easy to do.
Nuking bigmouth Coren22 (fake name for a fake life calling me what he projects about himself) https://apple.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=9347033&cid=52509667/ he shot his mouth off on & had to EAT HIS WORDS on vs. me... lol!
* Gotta love you trolls - Keep eating your words - you'll die of malnutrition hopefully, lmao!
APK
P.S.=> Additionally - you trolls shouldn't TALK W/ YOUR MOUTHS FULL of your words you must eat - it's not polite! I bet they taste like the BITTER taste of SELF-defeat that 'your kind' ("ne'er-do-well" do-nothings) know only ALL too well (especially vs. me)... apk
Zontar EAT HIS WORDS vs. trying to libel me & call my ware a 'malware' https://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=4980459&cid=46703603/
He had to DINE (lol) on his words STILL AGAIN calling me "diplomaless" & facts annihilate him yet again https://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=5033597&cid=46760611/
See subject - you FAIL (it's all "your kind" KNOWS in this life, lol)
APK
P.S.=> Zontar in particular is an OBSESSED admitted LOON who stalks me, has mental issues, is a druggie & even sent me a threatening postcard in the mail (whacko) from his OWN words in links here he admits all the above https://news.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=12036901&cid=56510351/ ... apk
Facebook abuses user date every hour of pevery day. Until they point the finger at themselves and commit to stopping, this is all a bunch of crap. Frankly, I could care less about the third parties - I am much more concerned with Facebook's (and Google's, and Amazon's, et.al.) own data mining, it's the biggest abuse of all. They built and continue to build their their fortune on the back of our stolen data, and they deserve to be held accountable and forced to stop. Rewrite terms of service to that effect, and allow people to opt out 100%, or it's pretty much all for naught. How stupid do they think we are?
They already know about them and they're huge.

I annihilated arseholetechnica easily 2003-2006 @ Windows IT Pro easily - Jeremy Reimer got his website removed by Shaw of Canada his ISP & hosting provider + he was put on a tracking ticket by them for email harassment...
Reimer's "henchman" Jay Little said "I am an EXPERT on Exchange" which much to his dismay worked against him @ "The Memory Optimization Hoax" where I proved to them AND Dr. Mark Russinovich (former "co-worker" of mine @ Sunbelt where we retailed our wares there & he bitched I outsold his work, awww) that that technology unhalted & sped up frozen Exchange Servers USING MICROSOFT'S OWN DOCUMENTATION TO DO IT (clearmem.exe is the same tech, but not GUI, & I designed the 1st program of that nature in GUI no less).
Jay Little then trolled & stalked me to other websites where I annihilated him on ramdrives as well - he was banned + had his website @ CrystalTech removed by that hosting provider for libeling me.
I only told THOR SCHMUCK (like that spelling? I do) I would speak to an attorney & I did what he said - CA had to down the threat to ZERO (none) & their antivirus (shit product)? Gone now.
I don't even HAVE to try to win. I just do in the end, always. God's grace.
APK
P.S.=> Bad move bringing up the DOLTS of Arstechnica - all they can do is "gossip" like old biddies behind my back, BUT OUTSIDE THEIR "PRIVATE PLAYPEN" (where they even edited my posts to put me down OR impersonate me)? The results are QUITE different, see above, lol... apk
Was looking at Discord (extremely popular with Gamers), thing not only calls home but leaks data on the local user. There's _nothing_ in their client that says it happens. Like Twitch, their entire API is built to be harvested while locking down the client from casual perusal. It's also _very_ tightly coupled with Cloudflare.
Discord themselves laughed at the findings.
tl;DR - Sooner these companies are fined, the better for everyone. But I'm anon and this is slashdot. You'll never see this thanks to the new mods.
You are APK. You aren't fooling anyone.
Even your testimonials show that you're an asshole. Let's pick the first one on the list, from this story. Here's the full text of the comment:
I've never tried to belittle your work, I've flat out said it's good; I was merely pointing out that it also builds upon the work of others. That in no way takes away from the work you have done. What I have, however, done is to point out that you and your behavior patterns (for example, the way you lash out at people over a joke) are toxic, and that reflects on your work. Take the advice and, as you once told me, quit putting words in my mouth.
You were arguing with BronsCon throughout the comments section of that article. He posted that comment to try and talk you down from your assholish behavior.
Let's try the second testimonial, from this story. Here's the full comment:
You shouldn't respond to APK guy with your actual account. Now he is going to stalk you. On a related note, his hosts program is actually pretty good, however his methods of forum hijacking are a little eh.
Again, the context of the comment once again shows it was part of a conversation in which you were being an asshole.
No wonder you don't post links to those comments. You don't want people to see how much of an asshole you are.
See subject & you even QUOTE it in full - he said my work's good & uses it, no lie & no questions asked! (as do others I quoted saying what they did).
Who's the asshole here? YOU are - & until YOU do BETTER yourself w/ a ware that speeds up + protects users online doing MORE for FAR LESS vs. other "so-called 'souled-out' crippled by default or outright BUGGY/faulty/security issue riddled 'solutions'" that are "Bolt-on-'MoAr'" illogic-logic vs. the native power of hosts? Then, talk.
(Otherwise you are doing what assholes, especially JEALOUS do-nothing unaccomplished "ne'er-do-wells" by UNIDENTIFIABLE anonymous posts like YOU do - farting).
Plenty of folks defend me & my work - you read it yourself directly. NO questioning it.
Others post to you doing what YOU do, unidentifiably, so you don't STALK them like you do me. I can handle it easily using facts/truths to blow you away. Perhaps they can't & just avoid it.
APK
P.S.=> I only defend myself & there is NO WAY jealous losers like you can justify your immature reprehensible bullshit - don't like my style of blowing "your kind" away w/ facts & TRUTH? Tough - quit being a jealous do-nothing "ne'er-do-well" snowflake ASSHOLE that stalks me like a loon... apk
See subject & You're a hypocrite stalking/harassing me by unidentifiable ac posts. He said my work's good, period. No lie from me.
* Please, keep talking - the MORE you DO the more I can shred you (heck, you're HELPING ME DO IT).
APK
P.S.=> LOL - it was great ripping you in 1/2 on the same basis here too earlier https://tech.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=12042539&cid=56520797/ - & when YOU show others by the 100's of 1,000s use YOUR non-existent work? Then, talk - otherwise you ARE a farting asshole & one that cannot STAND I rip you apart @ every turn merely by using facts/truth (what destroys worms like you Jealous jowie "ne'er-do-well" do-nothing that YOU are)... apk
Let's try the testimonial by alexgieg, from this story. The story is full of your spam and personal attacks, but here's the full quote:
The worst is, his hosts tool is actually useful for those cases in which one does indeed want to locally block stuff outright while consuming minimum system resources. Too bad APK doesn't get that different people have different needs and there's no such thing as "one size fits all".
This user was somewhat kinder to you than the others, yet criticized how you advertise your product. Later in the thread, he concluded that your hosts file engine is insufficient for his needs. It's interesting how you don't include that part.
See my subject: alexgieg did indeed say my solution does more for less & is far more efficient than competitors. No lie from me. Pure fact as always. See subject again - FUNNY YOU DON'T PUT OUT THAT PART of him not using it (immaterial - he said what he said & he IS correct speaking well of my work).
* Little CLUE for you - As an AC poster, /. limits - I can't put out FULL excerpts due to length or maybe it's just unique to me as the new owner here tries to filter suppress my posts & has FAILED for a year++ now (lol) because I don't "OpenSORES" my code!
He's also a webmaster, & he KNOWS cutting ads cuts his pay - well, IF his Google #1 moneybag behind him & others who do ads wouldn't infect/track/slow us? I'd never have put it out (& I didn't for its 1st 7 or so years of existence until the "malware explosion" of 2008 largely done BY ads)).
Why should I? To have it copied & to create a malware of it?? Jerks here threatened me they would do it & I don't give away my hard work in code!
APK
P.S.=> It's the best of its kind doing MORE than any of my competition in like programs does, hardcode DNS benefits & also parsing for INVALID tld that can bloat hosts w/ bogus entries... apk
What the hell cost 2 billion $ per month to run facebook ???
See my subject: I'm full of shit for proving what I quote from others that like &/or use my work is fact/true from me? LOL!
(Best part is, you're HELPING me PROVE it I'm not a liar you said I am here https://tech.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=12042539&cid=56520381/ - no questions asked, folks said what I quoted (they like or use my work, best of its kind & most efficient ))
* Thanks for the help!
APK
P.S.=> Face facts "ne'er-do-well" JEALOUS jowie - You WISH you were ME (but you can't be since you waste your life & time 'trolling' & stalking me by UNIDENTIFIABLE anonymous posts that only help me prove my point & that I am no liar you called me - I posted what folks actually say in praise of MY work (not your non-existent notware, lol) that is fact)... apk
Let's post mmell's comments, from this story. The user offers two comments, which comprise a thorough review of your software. I'll quote the second comment because the lameness filter won't let me post the first; that comment is its grandparent. The comments are favorable toward your software, while noting that your claims of its capabilities are overblown and criticizing your behavior.
I'm fairly certain that I've been downmodded for giving your software a fair shot (and, in fact, posting an overall favorable impression of it), rather than the content of that informal review.
Your software is just fine - well written, functional. Your claims that it's practically the cure for all the internet's woes are over-the-top and make you seem rather like the current POTUS. Your bellicose and acerbic posts, combined with your repeatedly posting straight binspam have given you a reputation here which even a calm, reasonable analysis cannot overcome. Your own reaction to this thread are a prime example.
I've long known that host files can solve certain problems - and nowadays, those problems are becoming more and more common. Your Host File Engine does make the task of managing a local host file on one Windows desktop easier - but that's all it does and your attitude and your bellicose, fanatical posts make it impossible to determine or even say that here. You've successfully increased the signal/noise ratio beyond the tolerance of nearly everyone here.
I'm going to continue using the Host File Engine. Have fun languishing in your self-imposed obscurity. Nearly all Slashdot users know who you are and won't even give a second thought to anything you write, suggest or say. I have, and now I'm paying the price for it. Downmod away, mods! I've said what is required and been heard by the intended recipient of my message.
See subject & that he CONTINUES to use it. He made a big mistake saying I say "hosts cure all" (I long ago proved I don't https://yro.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=12017031&cid=56491305// to a fool who tried that years ago in putting words in my mouth I never said).
* Mmell is a marketer - I feel he was looking for work from me to help promote it to be honest.
HOWEVER he's no software engineer (so who is he to tell ME how to do things here) OR under the attack I am (from webmasters/advertisers/inferior competitors) trying to tell me "how to market my ware"!
(I'm not selling it, I give it away freely for the ABSOLUTE good of all, even webmasters/marketers).
Fact: He was "off" from the get-go as there is NO WAY most webmasters OR advertisers (that pull printed publication's strings as they do webmasters via ad money I cut off) will EVER help me on THIS ware!
They have in past wares I've done (see your bs about Coren22 I posted here) though - not this one for reasons of money. He'd be of no use to me as a marketer himself thus.
Again - IF they wouldn't track/infect/slow us? I'd never have put it out...
APK
P.S.=> In the end as in all other testimonials of those liking & using my ware? They did INDEED say they like & use my ware praising it on various grounds - period (no lie & all fact from me despite YOU calling ME a liar here https://tech.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=12042539&cid=56520381/ )... apk
See subject: They say I lie users like & use my ware https://tech.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=12042539&cid=56520381/ ? I don't, that is fact I proved in my posts here with naysayers HELPING ME DO IT,lol.
Each spoke well of my ware on various grounds.
They should - it IS the BEST of breed in its type/class (DNS benefits & invalid TLD parse is ONLY done by myself in hosts programs)!
EVEN THE CHINESE imitated what I do in part because it works Imitation IS the sincerest form of flattery http://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/04/26/boffins_supercharge_the_hosts_file_to_save_users_plagued_by_dns_outages/
I only respond in KIND to those attacking me & they LOSE each time, lol.
(Why? I only use fact/truth! It's INVINCIBLE vs. attack).
APK
P.S.=> I only say hosts do more for less vs. ANY other type of security issue riddled overly complex bloatware (DNS/ANTIVIRUS/ROUTERS) that slow you + EAT MORE resources OR 'souled-out' to advertisers crippled by default ones (adblock)... apk
See subject & this video in front of Congress https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LakBlaMK5XA/ & whipslash (Logan Abbott) tries it on ME too (along w/ his army of fake name "registered 'luser'' sockpuppets he has downmodding my posts + constantly attacking me & FAILING (lol)) trying to FILTER my posts or their content out...
(So don't ANYONE try tell me "it doesn't go on" - it does).
APK
P.S.=> When the truncheon is used in lieu of conversation (when they can't prove facts you use are wrong - facts that adversely affect their SHADY bullshit)... apk
SEC reports don't work like that. This isn't a tacit admission from Facebook that after much soul searching they realize they've done wrong. Nor does it mean they've found other incidents that haven't been reported yet.
All this means is Facebook is guarding against future lawsuits. SEC reports disclose every possible negative event so shareholders are considered aware of the risks. If another data breach event happens, Facebook has protected itself against shareholder lawsuits.
It's like reporting "Well our CEO could get eaten by a bear." Disclosing it as a possible risk doesn't make it any more or less likely to happen.
There probably will be more incidents. Facebook may in fact know of some already. But this report is not evidence of that.
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on lunch.
See subject: Folks say what I quote them in liking + using my ware https://tech.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=12042539&cid=56520379/ along w/ 100's of 1000s worldwide!
(When you get your new modpoints from your many sockpuppets tomorrow, I guarantee you start "downmod hiding" my blowing you away in those posts later proving me no liar! It's ALL "your kind" does... lol, the "not men" soyboys!) ... & no matter how you TRY "twist it"? I repeatedly prove they did & FUNNIEST PART IS YOU HELPED ME DO IT
(ALL after you called me a liar & now you have to EAT YOUR WORDS https://tech.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=12042539&cid=56520381/ & ALL MY REPLIES & OTHERS TOO ADMIT THEY DO LIKE & USE MY WARE + THAT HOSTS ARE EFFECTIVE period... you are the liar! )
* 2 ladies also disagree w/ you on FAKEBook in front of Congress https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2U3sj2B8dE/ & good for them - they are straight up correct!
Lastly - Me, a DO-nothing "ne'er-do-well" you are? LOL - even PopeRatzo (who doesn't get along w/ me) says different https://news.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=12036901&cid=56509403/

No one is censoring your pathetic soyboy "ne'er-do-well" crybaby ass. STFU.
Try this out, mister. You know who I am, and you've been following me around to reply to my posts with personal attacks over the past decade. My employer is now aware of some of the misleading claims about me. I've been in touch with my attorney and I will be seeing you in court very soon. You should expect that I'll be seeking millions of dollars in damages for your actions. Let's see how a judge and jury react to your behavior.
Afaik he never attacked me (thought he did - he hasn't (I record attacks) & you project you impersonate me https://tech.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=12017993&cid=56487225/ as I'd NEVER say stupid shit like that about myself!
Give us a break.
* You may have TRIED to get him to "go @ it w/ me" but he's not that dumb - I don't attack folks for no reason - I only do so to defend myself... & I've done SO WELL here today THANKS TO YOU (lol) you're flailing in FAIL!

Invincible? A faggot soyboy like you isn't invincible at all. More delusions of grandeur from someone who deliberately and absurdly overstates the capabilities of his hosts file engine. All someone has to do is directly use an IP address rather than a hostname and your hosts file engine is useless. LOL! Good work, soyboy weasel.

P.S.=> Seriously - see my subject: BEST LAUGH I'VE HAD ALL WEEK - RoTfLmAo... apk
APK won't answer this because he doesn't want to admit the deficiencies of using hosts for security.
See you in court, pal.
Yup, APK is such a coward.
He's probably desperately trying to come up with new insults to hurl at you. It's truly quite pathetic.
- CKS
APK has been dusted yet again. He's got nothing.
See subject & you're right and I'm wrong. I can't prove that ANY anonymous user is Zontar or anyone else. I REALLY screwed up here.
* I apologize for any harm that I've caused. Mea culpa.
I have made unprovoked comments toward Zontar. Again, I was WRONG.
P.S.=> I won't engage in this type of bad behavior again.
RoTfLmAo - who'll I see? The invisible man?? You can't see someone who doesn't exist & you say I know who you are???
LMAO!
(All I see is another UNIDENTIFIABLE trolling little worm making THREATS - lol!)
* I asked WHO YOU ARE? You won't tell me - I've never seen a court NOT let you know who your accuser is. You certainly won't (because you're lying, YET AGAIN).
KNOW WHAT I LIKE BEST? Seeing your "RaGiNG" reaction & this bullshit from you now (as you CRY IN YOUR CHEERIOS) - lol!
APK
P.S.=> It's been a LOT of fun UTTERLY ANNIHILATING the lot of you & "your kind" - but I'm going to let you STEW IN "RaGe" over your failure (you'd think "your kind", not-men SOYBOYS would be used to failing by now, but alas, even I can be wrong (VERY rarely))... lol! apk

Another reason hostnames are used more is that MANY HOSTNAMES (via fastflux) can be directed to a SINGLE IP address - part of why they use hostnames IS that to sucker folks!
* What's that you said, projecting as always vs. me? GOOD WORK SOYBOY WEASEL!
(Even copying what I call you - please - be original @ least!)
APK
P.S.=> IP addresses are FAR EASIER for the IANA/ICANN etc. powers that be to 'sinkhole' & are a single point of fail which is PART of why malware makers use hostnames vs. IP addresses (& users trust a hostname more than IP addresses directly typically which is another reason WHY they are used to SUCKER folks - I help to try stop it & do well - in fact? I am outright amazed my work on this just for fun program of mine's done so well)... apk
LMAO - see subject (it's you): You = outta 'downmodpoints' & can't prove me wrong proving this https://tech.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=12042539&cid=56521591/ is right as RAIN!

I see a bunch of 1990s garbage shareware lists, a suggestion to someone else's project that they rejected because it was fucking stupid, a bold claim of endorsement and hosting that don't actually exist, an article you submitted to a contest from a wanna be Kim Komando show that no one can read, and some work on improving the second biggest joke database of that time . You should be embarrassed if those plus your stupid fucking hosts file engine are your accomplishments. Why don't you lie to yourself some more and post that article you claim proves the Chinese copied you when anyone reading it would realize you are having just a grand delusion. Maybe you can post as a full AC and not sign the post to make it seems like someone actually agrees with you.
It is even funnier that you don't recognize sarcasm. Maybe you should go in for a proper autism evaluation as you sure seem to show a lot of the signs of being on the spectrum.
See subject & "HELP ME Mommy" Cry of soyboys https://tech.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=12042539&cid=56522137/ RoTfLmAo totally, hehehehe!

We just wanted to get rid of a PROBLEM (which happened to suckerbergers nation to NATION @ least 12 times - constant exiles - why IS that? OH, it speaks for itself AND for me). Poland's also the ONLY nation that's ever held Russia (Hitler couldn't, Napoleon couldn't). 2.5 yrs. in St. Petersburg iirc. Defenders of Christianity too & one of Europe's STRONGEST nations for centuries...

Why?
Since I've got EACH of your many sockpuppet registered 'luser' FAKE NAMES you use under SOMEkind of FAIL vs. me bookmarked since you always startup w/ me & LOSE, & you KNOW it. Hence, you quit using them.
You're projecting the FACT you lose & also projecting YOU are 'deflecting' - too bad everyone can see otherwise.

It should be obvious by now, right?
I mean, if anyone thinks Cambridge Analytica was an isolated case... they must be clueless politicians who think any of this is new.
Dude, Facebook has been harvesting this data from it's inception basically... and the whole games and apps thing was founded on the idea of allowing other companies to do exactly that. Obviously, they'll say it's to empower users and let more functionalities flow in, but if Facebook really had any intention of not letting others make use of the data they were harvesting, there would be privacy and security measures put in place there in the first place.
Make no mistake, Facebook always knew this shit was happening. They might not have predicted that the data would be exploited and weaponized for political propaganda in such a bare and flagrant way, specially they might not have predicted that they'd be caught red handed, but it's not like they didn't know mass data harvesting was happening. They knew, they didn't care enough to do anything about it, and they probably profited a whole ton because of it.
And let me tell you something: other social networks are just the same. They are also doing it, but Facebook was basically chosen as the symbolic lynchpin to be appaled against the practice. Twitter, YouTube, Instagram and several other social networks have been embroigled in several private data scandals over the past couple of decades or so, they always comes with the same justifications, and they always react poorly. We always have a round of excuses, saying they are sorry, saying they'll try to do better, until the whole thing dwindles from public perception and they can resume focusing on what they care most: profitability and investors demands.
A practice which, let me remind people, the government is also at fault - creating virtual traps and honeypots for mass surveillance efforts.
If opaque data harvesting and shady usage of said data is something to be indignated about, let the government first look at the mirror and then start judging the private sector for following their example.
People should know that neither Facebook nor other social networks will change from this. They have no choice. Their profitability depends on this. And you can make all your boycotting campaigns, your pedestal posts about leaving social networks, and all your anti-corporation posts... it will change nothing. Because not only said social networks already have a firm grasp on the majority of population that cares nothing about privacy, they already secured a way of harvesting data on you even if you are not on social networks yourself.
