Thread 2 https://twitter.com/mpesce/status/977755143750889473 … both Facebook & Google are to blame here, feeding off each other's gross negligence and malfeasance (whether wilfully or not is largely irrelevant)
Asteris Masouras 正义 added,
For example, even though I treated FB as a soapbox only from the get-go, it's highly probably that it siphoned texts from my old Android phone, if this latest controversy applies universally. And I can't know for sure if I can ever delete them from FB.
Asteris Masouras 正义 Retweeted Eric Mill
This, and FB allowing 3rd parties to scrape contact data, cuts through the surveillance vs censorship quandary. Both Google & FB are long overdue regulatory enforcement in data handling https://twitter.com/konklone/status/977904977552269313 … (and that's besides issues of collusion in propaganda campaigns)
