 Context: The Cambridge Analytica scandal: AOC grilling Mark Zuckerberg on Congress (it's not a gotcha, he keeps trying to evade hard questions that he should answer): Facebook enabling genocide in Myanmar: > People just submitted it. I don't know why. They "trust me". Dumb fucks. 2 comments
@TranshumanBlues So it's not the risk that someone will take that data. Facebook will take it, process it and package it ready for consumption. For a comparison, let's say the data is Uranium. One could say: Oh hey, this is dangerous, we better keep that safe. Mark Zuckerberg sees it, calls the kremlin, and says: Oh hey, we found some uranium ore in there. Pay us and we'll enrich it and build a nuclear warhead for you. |

@TranshumanBlues @davidrevoy In short, facebook has repeatedly shown an utter disregard for not only privacy and ethics, but even human life and the rights of minorities, including LGBT groups.
There is ZERO guarantee that Facebook won't scrap our data to train AIs, sell our metadata to the highest bidder or to third parties so they can create massive disinformation campaigns for government and corporations.
We cannot trust them, because they've ALREADY done all the items on that list. Except maybe the AI training. Just maybe.
And then there's the ever present risk of embrace-and-extend.
