Yes. The other most significant aggregator of data, Google, is by no means a saint in this space, but I think they would get a bit more "trust us" points than Facebook. Their settlement over childrens' privacy on the youtube platform is a salient example here. To my view, the rapid emergence of children vloggers turning it into a career and causing COPPA issues is probably something they should have twigged to earlier, but it doesn't smack of the blatant & extreme exploitation & carelessness of user data seen by Facebook. That said, Google is probably only one decent sized data scandal away from that territory, and hopefully takes FB's fine and increased scrutiny as instructive in being more careful themselves.
