Facebook (and Google, too!) have great security teams. Some of the best in the business, no doubt. Full of conscientious people. But they can’t mitigate the business model. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Should add my NYTimes piece to this thread. Opaque targeting based on massive surveillance is the problem, and Cambridge Analytica is the symptom du jour. Facebook cut off this pipe because it wants to do all this itself—for a fee! It’s their business. https://mobile.nytimes.com/2018/03/19/opinion/facebook-cambridge-analytica.html …pic.twitter.com/z0DtZGbZPg

Whenever you go "online" you are giving something up. When I was a sysop in the 80's people would post very intimate stuff to other people without realizing I could read everything that was posted.

This implies that users must employ defense in depth that starts on their devices with high-quality ad/tracking/fingerprinting protection.
