FB wants every detail about everything your life, and wants to only share rosy PR in return. That part isn't news.

What's worth repeating is how tone-deaf and stupid this is. Decision-makers inside FB are living in a bubble crazy and arrogant enough to make them think this is something to propose to the world.

It is a technical bandaid that could theoretically work if you ignore the real people inhabiting the real world who would be using it. Reminds me, in a different way, of folks talking about how printing PGP (then) hashes on business cards was a workable fix for the web-of-trust, only throw in nudie pics, even more nerd-arrogance and FB's brazen, repeated abuses of trust.

When FB offers to act as my agent, with a contract including teeth for improper disclosure of confidential information, they will be approaching Saul Goodman levels of trustability.
