most of us don't have a track record of making and implementing decisions that
1. expose millions of people to russian propaganda and disinformation
2. expose very sensitive personal data of millions and millions of individuals to dubious actors in violation of company policy (cambridge analytica)
3. hire right wing dirty tricksters to smear opposition as being financed by the evil jew George Soros
4. drag our feet when internal security professionals identify (1)
and that's just off the top of my head.
Facebook has a consistent pattern of egregious misbehavior. This article is just another brick in the wall indicating profoundly bad judgement. Only by the grace of god did they not implement such a policy of selling user data.
I'm not in love with the monopoly power of google (I use duck duck go) and they clearly do some dumb shit. like the government approved censorship engine (firefly) but it basically seems like brin and page and schmidt and sundar pinchai are not expressively malevolent and seem to be trying to act in a way that balances shareholder interests with the interests of users. Zuckerberg and Sandernberg still seem to be operating under the mantra of "they trust me; the dumb fucks".
honestly that quote should have been the end of facebook.
