Oh the Ironys!
The same thing happened with Angela Merkel when she realized the NSA was targeting her preferentially: fine with all the spying, then shock, splutter and outrage when itās happening to her personally. Well, Fr. Merkel, Mr. Zuckerberg and Mrs. Feinstein, now you know how the rest of us feel.
We are not Facebookās clients; we are their product. We are the cows they use until they are too old to moo, then have every part that isnāt eaten used for shoes and glue. Facebookās clients are the companies who use the data that Facebook extracts from us.
well to be honest most of us are saying the same thing āleave me aloneā we say it the same way she does āleave us aloneā but ultimately itās about you and the environment in which you live.
Not all of us, Ma.
just pulled it from barackās facebook data, iām sure.
That may be true, but I never advocated for large scale spying on people not suspected of crimes like Feinsten, nor have I ever done large scale collection of data to sell to the highest bidder like Zuckerburg. Both parties are interested in continuing on with the way things were before for their own personal interests. I would like to see that the citizenry isnāt considered criminals first and that they have a right to go on about their business without everyone else making it their business.
I said users, not clients. But yeah, I guess I agree with you.
Hey now, thatās simply unfair.
Zuck doesnāt sell it to the highest bidder. Why would he only sell it once? He sells it to every bidder.
You have inside information on the intentions of the NSA? Give up that citation bro! Thaās fron page news!
Besides, is it really all that insulting by way of comparing the two? People opt in to FB & can choose to opt out. Thus they have chosen to be bought/sold or just insulted & sullied, or not.
The NSA on the other hand isnāt even opt-out available except by way of a Kaczynski-esque shack in the woods or a bullet to the head. You canāt even opt out by leaving the US or renouncing or whatever, they just straight up violating, so intentions aināt shit & presumptions of good intentions donāt really merit acceptance in such light.
So itās up to us ā all of us ā to build the internet we want.
step 1) dismantle facebook
Fact is if you put every piece of your personal life out on Facebook your crazy! On average we spend over 3 hours a day on the internetā¦How much of that is on Facebook? If I see another selfie of someone or what they are eating for dinner Iām gonna lose it:) I think we should really rethink the word āprivacyā.
