Granted, that's Schmidt, rather than Zuckerberg. The attitude seems to be the same, though.

#3Talk about blowing something simple out of proportion.
All these people have one friend in common with this person, maybe they know each other as well? Being a psychiatrist or whatever has nothing to do with it.
EDIT: I stand corrected. Not so simple regarding where they get the "potential friendship" data from. Diagonal reading mistake on my part.

You might want to take another look at the article; your understanding appears to include a severe oversimplification.

By the way anyone has a link to the full transcript/video? I can only find the cut version (and iirc there was something else between the trusted friend question and the quote, but all videos online have a cut/voiceover in between which is kinda suspicious).
(I seem to remember the "it" in the quote meant putting information online / publicly available, no the "something" that you don't want anyone to know)

You're right, I stand corrected. The technique is still simple, the way they get the data is not so transparent to the user.

#7> “Without additional information from the people involved, we’re not able to explain why one person was recommended as a friend to another.”
Such a terrible excuse. FB you only have one job! Fail.

I normally reply to people who cart this argument out: "so you're ok with someone following you around with a camera videoing you? At work....in the toilet....in the bedroom...?"
Privacy != doing something wrong.

#9TLDR#1: The investigation still didn't reveal exactly how this happened.
TLDR#2: The recommendation to "prevent" these issues on the individuals side is, "Lisa’s medical community has started recommending that patients concerned about privacy not log into Facebook or other social media accounts at medical offices, or even leave their phones in their cars during appointments. "
This is about as practical as recommending people just figure out how to fly and occasionally levitate into the upper atmosphere to go out of the cell tower's range, move a few kilometers west, and then fly back down to earth to scramble all these tracking algorithms.

Until of course some journalist started digging deep into Schmidt, than the tune was completely different.
