Re: Zuckerberg didn’t make any friends in Europe today
#2From what I gathered on news sources, most of the (german) MEPs are extremely pissed at Zuckerberg in regards to the question answered, the format of the Q&A and the refusal to livestream a real Q&A. He brought up the question about FB's monopoly on the market, stating that there are plenty of competitor products ("we might have a monopoly on cars but there are still planes, bikes and walking!").
Zuck didn't make friends, I'm fairly certain he made enemies in Europe.

#3There's some irony in getting the Oath panel forcing me to consent to their tracking (in apparent violation of the GDPR) before showing me an article about Facebook's data handling problems.
By the way, if you want to read the article without agreeing to their stuff, stop the page load after the article shows up.

#5>> So while Facebook’s contract change for international users looks largely intended to shrink its legal liabilities under GDPR, it’s possible the change will open up another front for individuals to pursue strategic litigation in the coming months.
Most definitely. Too much at stake.

Why would that violate GDPR?

The form of the meeting gave no chance for more than fleeting cross-questioning and ensured that while sharp questions could be asked in plenty Zuckerberg was free to respond with loose generalities and was never put on the spot.

you're not allowed to say usage of an application/service is conditional on accepting data collection.

At least the format and the fact that a lot of the time was taken up asking long-winded questions was the fault of the European Parliament and not Zuck personally. Of course the idea that you can just drag the CEO up to account for whatever grievances you have against the company and hope to get anything out of it seems a bit misguided to me. Looks like more of a PR exercise.

#10Zuckerberg is a very rational and collected person, so if he didn't make friends then he didn't want to make friends. It also implies the actual significance of the EU.
