Sheryl Sandberg also claimed that Facebook's problem is that they've been "way too idealistic." I don't know people who work for or run Facebook believe this, but if they do, it shows the power of self-deception—after 15 years of deeds, this doesn't hold. https://www.wired.com/story/why-zuckerberg-15-year-apology-tour-hasnt-fixed-facebook/ …

Also: Pleeeeaase. Journalists should not act like stenographers to the latest apology tour; instead write about the context of all the apology tours in the past 15 years, and start interrogating Facebook's business model more (as some have been doing) in the interviews.

Look the point isn’t all this due to some evil conspiracy. I’m not claiming that Facebook employees don’t care about users. But incentives and business models shape their behavior—just like other companies and people.

On Android. Facebook has apparently been scooping up people’s text messages on Android phones. Not messenger communication—plain text messages. Content and metadata.https://twitter.com/foxenhimr/status/982385875630903297?s=21 …

The way to change Facebook and YouTube—and the whole online economy of surveillance—is to change their incentive structure and business model. Neither Zuckerberg apologizing for the umpteenth time in fifteen years nor legislators yelling at Zuckerberg will get us there.

ahaha this is supposed to be a put-down of me—the very week Facebook announcing an implementation of political ad transparency of the kind I called for five years ago. So yeah maybe that would be a good idea. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯https://twitter.com/AlecMuffett/status/982655550210048000 …

As far as I can tell, nobody who interviewed Zuckerberg asked him “What the heck do you mean: ‘Facebook community’? This makes no sense.”https://twitter.com/thorstenbenner/status/982939695440171008 …

This is not a mistake. Media should push back on these non-stop apologies and this and that band-aid announcements over many years and start asking about deeds—and legislators should demand accountability.https://twitter.com/ow/status/982227996265205764 …

I’d be surprised if every person who was on Facebook by 2015 didn’t have their data siphoned this way, and still floating out there in many databases. There may have been thousands, hundreds of thousands—maybe millions—of apps with this kind of access.https://twitter.com/christinawilkie/status/983062605496451072 …
