anti-chinese sentiment is very common on hackernews. Goes into pure racism a lot of the time.
Can someone explain to me a mechanism for having JSON data describing a user and all their information downloaded and then displayed on the screen of either an Android or iOS phone without the app or OS involved then having the ability to send that data to a server later on? The sentence “only available on the device” makes no sense to me as an engineer. What? Did Facebook code review every app and OS they gave this…
Exactly. All the issues these reporters are up in arms about would still be a problem if Facebook gave these companies access to their regular API instead of a specialized one. In the end, a user is responsible for whom they give their username and password to. That includes typing it into an app. I hope we can redirect the publicity around this issue to scrutinizing the security of software, operating systems, and h…
In 2009, when I signed up for facebook, I was signing up for facebook.

No one reads ToS and at that point, it should be nullified. Everyone loses their FB accounts because YOU didnt read the ToS. Facebook loses their business because they lied about people reading and accepting their ToS.
Its important to be reasonable, FB definitely went full corruption and blaming the billions of customers is laughable.

It's classic. Only one thing can destroy big company / country etc - inside job. In my point of view this is beginning of FB's end.
I pretty much disagree. how exactly would that work? more regulation? so people just click though more yep, it's creepy but I don't care buttons. charge them as a monopoly? when you have google and apple?
I get FB messages, but I dont check my feed.
Occasionally I get event invites, but I check that every few weeks or month.
I dont want to act like I'm 'cutting edge', but was on gamefaqs when it was cool, FB in 2009, reddit in 2010. I dont use facebook anymore, we moved to snapchat and niche fourms.

When a Jewish company makes the list, get back to us. For now, you're just diverting attention from the issue.

A closer analogy is "Facebook confirms data sharing with Israeli companies", which seems slightly less inflammatory.
How annoying Reuters included ads that redirect on mobile to pages informing me about viruses on my iPhone and an incredible huge lottery win. Too bad, it’s impossible to read the article on my phone. edit: mobile
I don't have access to an iPhone, but is this option available on Firefox for iPhone?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
That's why ad blockers are absolutely necessary. Not to scam companies out of their revenue, but because you cannot trust them in running clean ads. Fake virus alerts even are the lesser evil, delivering browser exploits or draining the battery by running crypto-miners are much worse. You read about such incidents every couple weeks...
On desktop, I use uBlock and Privacy Badger, but on my iPhone there doesn’t seem to be an option.

I wish there was a social network built around the signal app. Maybe whoever builds the next FB will give it some thought.
