Why are the media talking so much about Facebook's mistakes of 10 years ago, while there are much worse problems in privacy at the moment ? Grindr, China's rating system, NSA's algorithm in Pakistan..

Corporate culture changes a lot in 10 years, Facebook is the wrong target.

It has to do with the general population's complete misunderstanding on how ads are targeted, combined with the fact that it's hip to upvote and share anti-FB hit pieces.
