      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 …

          Absolutely. People keep looking for technological solutions to this. When what is needed is a principled solution. That is companies with leaders that understand there are some lines that should not be crossed, no matter how much money they think they can make.

          Facebook announces "Access Your Information (...) You can go here to delete anything from your timeline or profile that you no longer want on Facebook." The real question: can you "go here and delete anything" from Facebooks databases?

          Oh, they were easier and better than what came before. They just weren’t remotely easier and better enough. I’ve been impressed with FB’s UI innovation around privacy controls for a long time, but clever as they’ve been, they’ve still fallen far short of what they need to achieve

          Replying to @zeynep

          Facebook gave $200,000 to a PAC to oppose our CA statewide ballot initiative that gives consumers a CHOICE about how their (& their kids') personal info is used and sold. People deserve control over their OWN data. Letter to Zuck below. Still no reply. https://www.caprivacy.org/petitions/letter/a …

          I wonder why they haven't piloted a "pay for privacy" option?

          Exactly. It's not about "individual choice." The yurt dwellers of Ulaanbaatar individually choose to burn sulphurous coal to stay warm. "The market" can be deadly.

          That IS their business model. Unless you want to pay for Facebook, expect your digital footprint to be sold.
