Breaking News: Mark Zuckerberg broke his silence on the Cambridge Analytica scandal. He acknowledged mistakes by Facebook and pledged "to protect your data."
The statement was the first time that Mr. Zuckerberg has spoken out since The New York Times reported that Cambridge Analytica, a political consulting firm that provided voter-targeting services to Donald J. Trump’s presidential campaign, improperly obtained data on 50 million Facebook users.
What will we do without pictures of food people have made and their letting us know what they are watching on TV? FB certainly made those folks think they are special! Who will validate them if FB goes away?
When I retired from the NSA we really did not think much about the public use of the internet or any marketing potential. It was clunky to say the least. Big terminals with black screens and green text. You had to know how to read. Plopping your dial up phone on a modem. There were bulletin boards and text based forums. Mostly for smart people engineers and tech geeks. No photos or videos then. Email for only those in the know and how. Then technology made it possible to dumb it down to the level of TV and rope every idiot in and make them believe it's a public forum and right of expression. Those of us invited to Beta Test not only MySpace and eventually Facebook knew that it had Madison Ave. advertising potential just like dying print media. You toss a newspaper in the trash...............but now we know exactly what you read what your buying habits are and your political leanings are and you have all embraced it like it's and old democratic Party Line on the phone and radio. Get off line and do something REAL with your lives. It's a trap that goes no where. Before cell phones there was CB.........it all amounts to the same thing.......no more liberating or smart as you are. Like guns computer owners should have a license.
Riiiiiiiight. This dude is in cahoots with big brother.
