Mark Zuckerberg

Farcebook has lost 80 billion in market cap since this data for cash thing came out.

They won't be alone......word on da skreet is that Goolag (Google) unt Amazon are also selling/misusing customer/consumer data. This doesn't surprise me all that much but it'll hurt some folks who have invested in those companies IF they decide to sell their stock of course.


It's very funny and very telling that data mining with the end goal of helping Obama become President was championed and praised, oooooh what brilliance was on display and 1 company, 1 gets a little info to Trump and it's game over, very telling

Anyone else watching that cyborg testify before Congress?

So I had to go to Boston today, listening to zuckerburg testify on the radio. Damn he is monotone. One thing struck me is the Zuck said after logging out of farcebook people's internet usages is still monitored. I guess it's standard practice in Silicon Valley but I had no idea. I guess people are made aware of this when you (if you) read the terms of service thing. The commentators said it is common practice with these internet companies but none like to admit it. I think it was two years ago I deleted my Facebook account, glad I did. Still they have over 2 billion users. I don't think the younger crowd is much concerened with the privacy thing, they weren't overly concerned about the government spying

Facebook shares went back up after his testimony. He must have done well. It was good he was natural which made him more human. I have heard representatives from the company and they sound like PR specialists, politicians or lawyers.

El Kabong disagrees with this

And I agree with El Kabong

#1 Zuckerberg wasn't even under oath.

#2 Zuckerberg had 85% of the folks questioning him on his payroll to one extent or another.

#3 The ills of Facebook go beyond "They dun stole my infermachun!" Facebook tracks PHONE CALLS "Why?" you might ask....and "Why indeed?" would be my response
