This rant is misplaced. The current criticisms of Facebook apply equally well to YouTube, and to Google News. As for morally bankrupt leadership, remember that Google just funded CPAC as a key sponsor, has made immense profits from ads on hate sites.https://twitter.com/fchollet/status/976783608219279360 …

Facebook is worse than Google in the sense that it manipulates you through your ties to other people. But it's not like Google didn't try to do the same. They just failed, and now have to settle for YouTube communities, email, and the web.

it might be a difference without distinction that I think Google doesn't sell direct access to its data Facebook did to Cambridge Analytica. I think they keep it to themselves. Probably because they didn't have to. FB needed to do it to grow to compete with Google. Still awful

I'm very curious why Facebook let CA and others hoover down this data, since it's their prize posession. My guess is the API was left open from the early days of maximizing market share, without thought. But maybe there's some other reason.
