Zuckerberg also blew off Obama and his concerns. Is there anyone they respect? Certainly not their customers.

They do respect their customers. Their customers are the advertisers. Their *users* are the people they don't respect.
-
The users are the product.

What can we do to console Zuck?
-
Be journalists instead of commie rabble rousers
-
remember this is also payback for Facebook trying to destroy the media business
-
I think the NYT woke up and realized this a few months back. Facebook (and Google) are no friends of the media. The stories and tone are really reflecting this.
-
This. FB (&Google...) pretend they’re not the media, but by taking over publishing, ex w Newsfeed, they’ve also taken on the job of media, & refused to come clean re their data sharing. TLDR News publishers run corrections, but FB hasn’t—they invited this well deserved critique
-
Also: Facebook inserted itself into the fabric of our relationships, while making its money — as an advertisement business — by altering our cognition in ways beneficial to its paying customers. Facebook doesn’t get 1/100 of the scrutiny it deserves.

So very sad when big media are mean to plucky little startups like Facebook.

Wel, their customer base is increasingly fed up with their service, data collection practices and lax security, so Mark can go Zuck himself.
-
Their customer base is paying for those things. They are features, not bugs. You aren't the customer. You are the product.
-
Yes Jim, I’m sure when you agreed to use Facebook you realized the amount of your personal data that was being shared with Cambridge Analytica/ whoever else
-
When is the last time you paid your Facebook bill? Try and keep up. Your information is the product sold to their customers.
-
No shit Jim. But when you first signed up for Facebook you probably didn’t understand that. Which is my whole point. You need some reading comprehension help.
-
You were always the product. How did you think they made money? Some may be clueless, but don't assume everyone else is. I never said what they did, to that extent, was right. I took issue with the original poster thinking the users are the customers. Never were.
-
They made it seem like the user was stage customer though, that’s the problem. It’s not as much about people being uninformed about how social media networks make revenue than it is about Facebook not informing people of how their data is being used. That’s all there is to this.
