>Channel 4 BBC Just a side-note, Channel 4 is an entirely separate wholly commercial public-service broadcaster, whereas the BBC is publicly funded via a license that's required to watch live TV
Yes, the fact that "BBC4" and "Channel 4" are completely different things is (understandably) missed by nearly everyone outside the UK.

Probably worth rehashing the infamous messages: > Zuck: People just submitted it. > Zuck: I don't know why. > Zuck: They "trust me" > Zuck: Dumb fucks. A cynic would interpret the current state of the world to suggest that Zuckerberg, and by extension Facebook, considers a large segment of the world population "Dumb fucks" http://www.businessinsider.com/well-these-new-zuckerberg-ims...
That text was so long ago I don't think it's relevant anymore. Oprah Winfrey was also crack cocaine smoker in a cycle of abusive relationships in her late twenties. If people choose to change their perspectives they can, and everything indicates that Mark has matured quite a bit since then.

What indicates that Mark has matured quite a bit since then?
Exactly. Also doesnt say much about Oprah maturing - search youtbe on “oprah saying white people need to die”
I have a personal story from inside facebook to share. and when I shared this story on my facebook my personal facebook was suspended too. 5 years ago Facebook recruiter reached out to me and invited me to the W hotel in Chicago. I was very excited -not for the job- but for the opportunity to meet with senior Facebook managers and tell them about an evil thing Facebook does. Here is the background story: I am Kurdish…
For individuals, "Banned from Facebook" has a similar note. For a time now, Kurdish interests have been prosecuted by Facebook. And not just in Turkey.
The arrogance of Facebook's response to this breach, quibbling over what to call it and now this, is mind-blowing. Their "it wasn't a robbery because we left the front door open" excuse may finally bring about trans-Atlantic regulation of social media.
>The arrogance of Facebook's response to this breach Is it even clear that there was a 'breach' of any kind that Facebook was responsible for? Correct me if I'm wrong here, but it seems like the chain of events is: 1.) Third party (Aleksandr Kogan) creates 'personality quiz' app, Facebook users opt-in to share information from their profile 2.) Aleksandr Kogan hands off data gathered by the app to Cambridge Analytica…

No evidence he doesn’t still think it, but he doesn’t say it.

Just get the f### off Facebook, already. If you're the kind of person who votes based on targeted advertising, or the hyperbolic posts of people who vote based on targeted advertising, don't ask Facebook to change. Get the f### off Facebook. If you don't like how Facebook is being used as an addictive propaganda tool by any and all political actors, including Facebook itself, then get the f### off Facebook. Ask the F…
Enough with the #. If you want to swear, swear. If you don't want to swear, don't. For fuck's sake.

> the Facebook API worked as expected and gave it to him "Breach" doesn't have to involve a technical malfunction. An employee handing confidential information to an outsider is a breach. Facebook collected users' information. The information was accessed, stored, and distributed without Facebook's (nor their users') authorization. That's a breach.
By that logic does every FB app that stores collected data on non-FB servers represent a breach? The crucial point here is that the users authorized the app to collect the data. Facebook has an extremely extensive authorization system for you to grant apps access to your data. Did Kogan use this system differently than every other FB app? What technical measures did he need to circumvent in order to get access to the…
A quarter of a million people authorized the app to collect their data. It then gained access to fifty million peoples' data. Those extra data were accessed without proper authorization. All of the data were then used in an unauthorized manner.
> What technical measures did he need to circumvent in order to get access to the data that you say constitutes a “breach?”
"Breach" isn't constrained to technical vulnerabilities. If an FSB agent walks out of Langley with a bunch of sensitive CIA documents, that constitutes a breach.
