You know, when I was watching a bit of FOX news today (gotta check out what the conservative talking points are), I kinda figured this would be a hot subject for them. I saw FOX anchors and commentators saying how biased Facebook was against Republicans, but gave Democrats and liberals a free pass.
Good to see that the conservatives are sticking to their talking points like FOX tells them to.
By the way........................one of the other news channels that I watched had a commentator bring up a very interesting point. It seems that the panel was more interested in tearing Zuckerberg apart than they were in finding out what happened. And, not one of those congress critters asked him if there was something that the government could do to assist Facebook in making sure this didn't happen next election. Why is that? Instead of assigning blame, shouldn't they be working on figuring out how to stop it from happening again?
But, I guess the partisan divide in this country has gotten to the point where there are no solutions to be worked out, just fingers to point out blame.
And, the fingers are always pointing at the other side.
So, by your own arguments, we should not blame someone who was criminally negligent?
Okay, I'll bite.................exactly how is he criminally negligent?
I guess you didn't hear about that massive data breach. Or about how Facebook was using the things people posted to their friends without permission?
It's in the TOS as to what they can do with your data, but the trouble is, most people don't bother to read the whole thing or understand what they are agreeing to because of all the legalese.
And no, it wasn't a data breach, it was some kind of survey used by Cambridge Analytica that they used to mine the data they wanted. Facebook didn't know what they were doing with it, they just thought it was for advertising.
A data breach is done by hacking, not surveys.
