True enough, even though there is nothing but negative sentiment these days toward the Facebook brand.

I suppose there is someone even thinking that Portal will be good for their home.

I actually ordered a Portal device for each of my family households (parents, grand parents, siblings and in-laws) for Christmas.

I think it’s a great product and can’t wait to have mine at home.

All the fuss about tracking is non-sense. Ads are a great way to monetize products that you want to make available to a large audience. And obviously as a user you want meaningful ads and not just a bunch of garbage. To do that tracking is necessary...seems like a straightforward value exchange!

I also want to note that I buy stuff frequently from ads...some of my most loved items found me through ads! It’s frankly a great way to discover great stuff.

Do I sometimes see ads that are not relevant? Sure, just as I see post from friends/family that are not relevant...I just scroll by, easy as that!

Nice try, Zuckerberg.
