Look, Senators have smart people briefing them, and they have tried to ask reasonable questions. But they often get lost in the details and that's the point. An ordinary person *cannot* meaningfully consent to this level of complexity and obscurity.https://twitter.com/ASankin/status/983799338676596742 …

Zuckerberg keeps saying that you have control over what other people you share stuff with on Facebook. Sure. THE QUESTION IS HOW WE KEEP FACEBOOK FROM COLLECTING DATA ON US. Facebook tracks us online, offline, on and off the platform, cross-device and even BUYS external data.

(FWIW it's T-ew-f-ah-k-chee or T-oo-f-ah-k-chee. The u is like the French ü, and the k is hard k and the c is actually ç so ch sound.)https://twitter.com/george_sass/status/984082371367628801 …Show this thread -
Aah, she was just asking about computational inference and external data, and Zuck is dodging and talking about pictures you take and "we don't sell your data" dog-and-pony show. Facebook track us, uses data + algorithms to infer things about us, and then sells that as targeting!

Kenya and Nigeria are also great examples. Cambridge Analytica used the same FB data and tactics in those two countries to help leaders deliberately stoke ethnic or religious tensions. Highly dangerous. Very sinister.
