Facebook fared worse than competitors like Apple, Google, Amazon and Microsoft.
Facebook has competitors? In what sense?
The cognitive dissonance with Facebook users is vast and unsettling. Right comrade?
It’s about time. If the FTC had any real teeth this would have never been allowed to happen with Facebook or any other data mining corporation.

Oh, come on. Facebook gave away everyone’s info knowingly, in exchange for money. Compare that to Equifax, whose whole raison d etre is to sell your data, and wound up letting it fly out the window for years.
Oh, and there’s the cherry on top: no prosecution.
Slurping data.
