RE: CONTEST - What'd you think about Facebook recent scandal? 5 SBD prize
The FUD around Facebook is absurd. It's actually disappointing. Here's why.
Everyone is pissed that Facebook has leaked data, whether to some marketing corp in England or about video calls being monitored. They're claiming this is a breach of trust, yada yada. The truth is that nobody should be surprised. This is all information that we've known for years. Remember Edward Snowden? Remember PRISM? ECHELON? Remember the discussion of Facebook partnering with corporations that would all trawl through the data to 'better market to your personal preferences'? Remember how Facebook sells the value of your eyesight to advertisers?
No? Don't remember? Well, what a surprise. This shit has been going on for years. YEARS. And suddenly, everyone is angry, now? The tragedy of this all is that it highlights the loss of memory, the mass ADD and amnesia of a society dependent on digital dopamine and instant-reddit-clickbait-now brains. People should have learned the truth about Facebook long ago, when we ALREADY FOUND IT OUT.
It's the CIA's wet dream.
