Facebook Launches Help Center Tool to Check if Your Data Was Shared With Cambridge Analytica
Facebook used to be pictures of why there is throw up in your college dorm bathroom last night and finding the best place to party. Then it went to keeping in touch with college friends and family members. Now it's just a political playground for bots and trolls and family members who still use it, playing stupid games, accessing apps, and posting their political opinion arguing with bots and people that probably don't even live in the USA.
After this whole scandal broke I immediately logged back into my facebook and deleted it entirely. I still use Instagram, which I assume is just as bad, but it's really just photos of friends and family and my interests. Facebook acquiring Instagram was the best move it could have made.
And how does this help those of us who already deleted the personal information sucking site from our lives?

MySpace is lookin pretty good right about now.
Although the FaceBook breach did fall in line with the hack of the rest of the online world- Yahoo Mail breach, Equifax breach, etc etc, it would be a little more comforting if the sloppy services would stop trying to convince everyone with lies that they're services are secure.
Just waiting now for iCloud to go under ....
And when there is a breach and they release the number of users/customers affected, just ahead and double that number immediately.

Each person on Facebook will one day look back on how much of a scam and waste of precious time it was.
I did about 12 months in to opening an account. Now if I could just get my family to delete theirs and start communicating like real human beings.

On that topic, Zuckerberg responded ('//www.macrumors.com/2018/04/02/zuckerberg-stockholm-syndrome-comment/') by stating that Cook's comments were "not at all aligned with the truth," and that just because Facebook is free to use doesn't mean that the company doesn't care about its customers.
Of course! Because caring is sharing. Sharing data.
