    Facebook says "It's Time to Make Our Privacy Tools Easier to Find." It's time?!? Here's Zuckerberg in 2010: "We have heard the feedback. There needs to be a simpler way to control your information. In the coming weeks, we will add privacy controls that are much simpler to use."🙄pic.twitter.com/hfbGWRXtWb

        Zuck promised easier, better privacy controls "in the coming weeks" eight years ago. This isn't the first or last broken promise. The solution isn't shifting the burden to the user because the problem is the negative externalities of the business model. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/03/28/technology/facebook-privacy-security-settings.html …pic.twitter.com/vwOM6SEMqn

        Absolutely. Only defaults matter. Invert the controls: make all this out-of-control data surveillance opt-in (use the same UX please!) and then let's maybe talk.https://twitter.com/ddssff/status/978986068899807232 …

        Not true. Data mining and information is actually a lot of data companies long game and is a key factor in determining valuation. They want to appear like they are secure, but they are a business.
