You don't need his crazy stories, really. All you need to do is accept that Facebook isn't behaving exceptionally poorly, this is industry standard. Lo and behold - the entire sector is suddenly a cesspool of disrespect and money grabbing at the cost of your data, your privacy, anything they will be able to get away with. And they can get away with a lot, because you are not allowed to talk when you work anywhere. On pain of basically having your life ruined.

》Facebook isn't behaving exceptionally poorly

I think we are at an impasse. Most in the know do not share this opinion.

[krageon]

The behaviour is poor, yes. But if you view it among it's peers it's not at all poor, it's normal. That that normal is actually "exceptionally poor" might be true, but that's not really the point I was trying to make. On that I think we agree.

If you're implying that "most in the know" think FB is much worse than competitors or even other IT companies, we do indeed disagree. Sadly that is not something we can argue here, because if you are in the know you cannot share examples :)

Can you elaborate on what their opinion is about Fb and other companies?

[inetknght]

@da02 asked @spr1ted for some examples and you come in saying he's crazy and deny that examples are needed?

[da02]

He wasn't calling anyone crazy. The remark about "his crazy stories" was meant to be: "his stories on crazy (ie evil, corrupt) practices."

They didn't call the gp crazy. They labelled the stories crazy, which is precisely how the poster described them:

>things i have see flying by are crazy
