Facebook *wants* privacy regulations to entrench its monopoly power. This is why the company is orienting towards discussing privacy and protecting your data. Zuckerberg does not want to talk monopoly. Follow. The. Money.https://twitter.com/matthewstoller/status/983340928067866624 …
In response to the scandal, Zuckerberg is going to hand over regulatory power on the use of data for academic research to, and I'm not making this up, the Charles Koch Foundation.pic.twitter.com/s5GfceNEH4
Facebook's data about the public is data to which the public has rights. A cartel of Facebook and large foundations over that data is... not good.
Here's Facebook's press release on in its new initiative of working with major foundations.https://newsroom.fb.com/news/2018/04/new-elections-initiative/ …
Last week, @openmarkets put in our newsletter an analysis of *precisely* this issue, which is how to understand data generated by the public but stored on Facebook's servers.https://openmarketsinstitute.org/newsletters/corner-newsletter-trumps-amazon-attack-high-cost-healthcare-concentration-really-owns-fb-data/ …
The Facebook problem in a nutshell is Mark Zuckerberg placing gates around the public commons, solemnly talking about his newfound responsibility, and then musing on all the interesting data-driven sociological research possibilities he can have fun with.
On a podcast last year Zuckerberg said he had an internal team at Facebook put together to see if Facebook could help every American get one more close friend. What?!?http://freakonomics.com/podcast/mark-zuckerberg/ …
Maybe Zuckerberg found the Myanmar genocide boring because Raj Chetty wasn't doing a research project on it.
No you're misreading the quote: funding not direction
Funding almost always leads to control. Especially when the Kochs are involved.
Again reread: SSRC is independent w/long history and Koch one of many funders. When it comes to academic research, funding rarely leads to control because it weakens the research making it unpublishable.
The word is influence.
It is a group of funders, not just Koch. Would you like the researchers to work for free? This is actually an EXCELLENT approach. The data will be ANONYMIZED.
"You silly little people don't understand. All this will be fine." There is no trust. Stop trying to chastise people for rationally distrusting this arrangement.
If these same folks hadn't made the same assurances the first go around & there weren't so much loot involved I might believe the pirates. Kochs, Mercers, et all, belong to the same "Trading places" long swindle set.pic.twitter.com/1pGtMUrXww
There are reasonable arguments for this arrangement, but there is no reasonable argument for using the public's data in this arrangement without some sort of legitimization process.

”Well, I certainly feel very bad, and I’m sorry that we did not do a better job of finding the Russian interference during the #2016Election’, Zuckerberg told me.”
What a #LAME attempt at #Deflection. How about “finding” the #Facebook-#CambridgeAnalytica #Collusion?
It’s weird that he can’t find it when he’s IN ON IT
”Emails link PeterThiel's Not the Koch Brothers. They are the Problem. Not the answer
Exactly. Do you think he has a clue what this means? How do we send him a million emails?
He knows. Right-wing money backed Facebook from the beginning. Handing off to the Kochs is a public FU to those who want FB to behave like responsible corporate citizens.
I am done with Facebook. All the good things like staying in touch with relatives is overshadowed by the conspiracy to hand info over to dishonest ppl and organizations who will use it for nefarious purposes Richard Clarke - anti terrorism expert said thispic.twitter.com/fjj5qJHKXV
But if all we do is #deleteFacebook this whole manipulation scam will continue and our fellow voting citizens will continue to be unwitting pawns in their game. And they'll still get our data AND rig the next election. We all need to be telling everyone, especially Congress.
