    My Wifey has ALL these sites.  Tell her she's an idiot.  I refuse to sign up for ANYTHING.  I'm invisible on the internet and I like it that way.

    Facebook Stock down 10% since the hacking.

    It is highly entrtaining listening to reports of Canadians "pledging" to delete their FB accounts. These people have no intention of doing so. Deleting an account takes a few clicks, why have a pledge drive? It pretty simple, delete your account. 

    But then where would people virtue signal? How would the modern working woman get her local content, cat pics, humble bragging about how difficult it was to install new granite countertops. How could you organize the latest boycott protest or march?

    These people will not leave facebook. 

    The entire notion that people are shocked  at data mining blows me away.

    They werent hacked. It was an app. The media is using the word breach , but that is innacurate misleading, there were no security protocols bypassed. The info collected was all public. The user agreement permitted data collection, but the app also farmed public posted info from freinds. . I've read it is tantamount to copying a persons twitter "following" list.

    Zuckerberg on TV all day, everywhere today, pleading for mercy and guaranteeing he needs to do more to "protect" peoples information.  He needs a slap upside his head is what he needs.

    A couple billion $ fine will help get his attention.

    Friends wanted me to join FB for years. I figured if I want to share stuff with you, I'll call you & u can do the same. Seems simple to me.

    Never signed up and never will.  I managed to write a 10 page report about the company in my Operations Analysis class without signing up.  That was 9 years ago.  Wow

    They were not public at the time.

    Facebook is facing its most serious crisis in its 14 years history as it deals with data scandal tied to Trump's election campaign.  Billions of dollars have been wiped off the value of facebook stock.  Trump campaign paid Cambridge analytica to exploit data from over 50 million users in order to manipulate US election. 

    Multiple governments in US and europe are investigating violation of privacy rights and unauthorized use of user data  to spread propaganda.    Also Mueller is investigating ties between the data firm and Trump.   US federal trade commission may investigate too.  Risk of new regulations and huge fines for facebook.

    "Trump campaign paid Cambridge analytica to exploit data from over 50 million users in order to manipulate US election."

    I find it hilarious that people are now branding advertisments as "manipulation", mind control. Lol. 

    Provide a specific case please. One democrat, name, ad viewed and the resulting manipulation. Just one. There were 130 m votes cast shouldn't be too hard to find one.

    Exactly. At the end of the day, Trump didn't win because of "facebook data mining" or "russian interference". He won because nobody likes Hillary Clinton.
