#2I'm no fan of Facebook and deleted my account years ago, but the flood of articles like these that are barely embarrassing since the major Cambridge Analytic embarrassment feels more like an agenda or piling on than newsworthy items.
There are many reasons to reduce or eliminate your time on FB, but this isn't one of them.

That’s because you misunderstand the intent of this pile-on. The intent is to ensure full compliance in 2020 elections.

#5Thing is a nothingburger. Do people really believe messages can’t be deleted no matter what?

The behaviour described in this article implies a culture willing to look one way for users and another way for themselves. That’s pertinent less to users and more to lawyers and lawmakers.

#8I think it's clear from nearly a decade's worth of Facebook's trysts with privacy issues that it is a company that doesn't have a fundamental stance that's in favor of user privacy. Over and over again it has either intentionally built features that disregard privacy, or put in wrong defaults, or simply brushed off criticisms when others have misused Facebook. At this point we should be asking ourselves why we expect Facebook to change on its own.
There isn't a good alternative to Facebook (given the network effect and the legitimate features that Facebook provides), but it's probably important that there be public oversight of Facebook (and any other social media company that becomes large and powerful as Facebook).
We should also be asking ourselves whether an organization that has the power to be so influential in the destinies of nations should be run by executives who see every issue as a PR issue to be dealt with, rather than ones that should teach them fundamental lessons. If the leadership is so reluctant to tackle these issues head-on, maybe they need to be replaced with a humbler set of leaders.

#10> Zuckerberg’s profile doesn’t show a button to add him as a friend on desktop, and the button is grayed out and disabled on mobile.
Of course he has special rules for himself. Fun fact: you cannot block Mark Zuckerberg on Facebook. It just won't let you.
