Isn't this self-contradictory? Either you have e2ee and shut out govt investigations, or you don't. I would never trust Zuckerberg or anyone involved with him to build something privacy-focused.
Well, I'm on it, with a semi-fake name. I haven't gotten anything bad yet. It has brought me tangible benefit just because of the groups/pages and the ability to message people by name, though.
Lol, this. I've seen so many Exon Mobile ads about non-oil energy. They just sell oil.
Privacy has had its #metoo moment with Facebook over a decade ago.
They’ve made a judgement based on what they’ve heard about it from friends, family and the media.I think it's not false. I think trust is a pretty generous word, too generous, to describe how most people feel about using Facebook, even if they enjoy using it.
Further, I believe most people who are even the least bit savvy about data mining on the internet use Facebook with a certain air of resignation: their kids use it, their parents use it, their real friends and relatives use it, etc., and they all chide you if you don't sign up to use it too... your refusal to sign up means they end up having to email you, or they have to set up dropbox links for party photos.
Many don't think about it at all, so at best it's "trust by default" -- because they're young and may think it doesn't matter to have it "all out there".
And some have even bought into Zuc's wayback statements about the concept of privacy itself being "so over"... when he was first rolling Facebook out to the public. If you bought that idea, then in my book you weren't a trusting sort of person, just gullible in allowing someone else to redefine a perfectly good word.
by the way i think it's hilarious how Wikipedia starts out its entry on Privacy. I am not sure that Mark Zuckerberg would be as amused.

Not to be confused with Piracy.
No one aware of his own privacy at risk trusts Facebook. The other 2.31 billions simply don't see this as an issue
It's certainly shocking (and somewhat eerie) the way in which masses and masses of people assume that they are fine if they do what the rest do. Then, they try to remove their private photos from social networks, and they can't. Or they accept it when Twitter or FaceBook or anybody else requires a phone number to continue, without even asking theirselves if it's wise to give their number away. They just don't care... if the rest does the same, they are fine, or they are happy to assume that when everybody does the same, there's no other option. Eerie, really eerie.
