I don't understand your concern. Could you expand here?

I, your competitor, will pay FB for your conversations. I expect we can work out a way to do it that isn't so brazen.

I think you have no idea how to real world works. Most of the arguments against Facebook sadly seem to be wildly out of touch with reality. Amazing that these essentially conspiracy theories are cultivated by otherwise pretty smart people - software engineers.

This is called: despair. Lost of monthly active users, Lost of daily engagement. I bet it'll fail, although everybody automatically think that it Will suceed.

Except the numbers are going up, not down, the revenue is going up, not down, the stock is going up, not down. Keep on living in your delusions.

https://workplace.fb.com/trust Sure. Also: Zuck: Yeah so if you ever need info about anyone at Harvard Zuck: Just ask Zuck: I have over 4,000 emails, pictures, addresses, SNS [Redacted Friend's Name]: What? How'd you manage that one? Zuck: People just submitted it. Zuck: I don't know why. Zuck: They "trust me" Zuck: Dumb fucks Just keep remembering that as well, please.

If you don't trust Facebook, don't use Facebook.

Trump matured too. He doesn't really still want to sexually assault women. He's changed. Edit: The parent of my comment has completely morphed his original comment into what it is now.

Sexual assault? He said "they let you do it if you are rich and famous". Now that's real news. He didn't say that he'd force himself on them against their wishes.

You might feel it's scummy to think that way but claiming this is sexual assault is ridiculous.

I've worked with many startups. Seeing the security practices of early stage products, I am astounded that anyone gives them data. It's horrifying. Like, right now I have access to some 300,000 phone numbers. All I gotta do is run a shell command and then a SQL query. So can any other engineer in the company. I trust that none of us would use this access maliciously, but how many of our passwords have been leaked in…

Except all of this stuff is most like covered in your contract and you would be sued your ass off if you would ever abuse the access you have, right?

Sure, so would the CEO.

And that is of little concern to anyone impacted by such an abuse and of little concern to a 19 year old having a "Holy shit people trust me" moment. I had similar moments running my own stuff in college, if you quoted me out of context I would sound way eviler than Zuck's quote I'm sure. Power, even just a modicum of power, makes 19 year old say dumb shit.

That whole thing about impulse control and executive functions of the brain not being fully developed until you're 25.

The more important question is did he ever abuse that access? [in a way that isn't described in the TOS]

"They let you do it" is not consent, it's the absence of fighting back. A woman does not have to physically fight her attacker for it to be assault. Consider the phrasing "they let you do it if you hold a gun to their head".

Their competitor is not Slack but Salesforce. Salesforce is a leader in enterprise CRM. Facebook with apps, messenger and cloud infrastructure is way ahead on tech and usability front. This move if for getting users from entreprise.

>Their competitor is...Salesforce

Don't forget Microsoft/LinkedIn.

your last 3 comments have been about Trump, despite the topic not having anything to do with politics.

Hm. Maybe you should think about it more abstractly because these things are quite similar.

The differences in maturity between 19 and 31 are tremendous, while those between 60 and 70 are virtually non existent, so no, these cases are not quite similar at all.

For what it's worth, rental car companies won't allow drivers under 25 because their insurance companies have a wealth of data to demonstrate that's when reliable levels of independent judgement emerge. For the same reason, militaries prefer soldiers who are under 25.
