>I think the scepticism of facebook is a good thing, however I really wish it would be applied equally to every big company. Especially when they so clearly abuse privacy like Apple and Google.

The difference between Apple and Facebook is that Facebook's entire business model is built on abusing the privacy of it's users.

So is google's, and all the ad tech companies, a bunch of medical tech companies, most of TV. But we don't give them as much introspection.

but, apart from cambridge analytica, where actual data was leaked, what privacy abuses are unique to facebook?

Its not like they drove around harvesting your wifi to geolocate you, or deliberately hid breaches to protect it's "good name", or sells your location data to any and everyone who asks is it?

All big companies have done shitty things, but why do we let them off? shouldn't we hold them to account as well?
