PLEASE factcheck this?

[@tdrg_]

Facebook was fined $5 billion by the FTC for privacy violations related to the Cambridge Analytica scandal. Facebook collected user data for political advertising without getting user’s informed consent. Here’s all you need to know

[@38kob]

seriously, so irresponsible. the verge is an embarrassment

[@tdrg_]

@@38kob I did a fact-check of my own, and would you believe it, it’s now gone. It was in this comment thread

[@KaiseruSoze]

Have you noticed that "The Verge" is now advertising for Meta?

[@38kob]

@@KaiseruSoze lol good point, meta ads have been incessant on the vergecast for months now…follow the money, i guess

[@america1754]

"People stopped talking about it so it didn't matter". Why did Facebook settle for $725m if they did nothing wrong? There's a clear lack of accountability for these companies and something needs to change.

[@wildcavemann]

this was appealed obviously

Another lying tech bro.

[@wildcavemann]

zuck is significantly more transparent then 99% of tech CEOs.

[@seer775]

@@wildcavemann lol ok. how?

[@imaginesagi]

Zuck: it wasn’t true 5 seconds later Zuck: we fixed the problem 5 years ago 🤥

[@abdalla8558]

Did he just snitch on himself?

[@wildcavemann]

he said there was no accessible data and the "bug" that everyone said existed (which still didnt steal data) got fixed. did you even watch the clip?

[@wildcavemann]

@@abdalla8558 no he didnt, you just choose to ignore what he said to make your ego feel better

[@dimator]

So zero apologies, zero responsibility, got it. At this point if you're still using Facebook products, you're willfully ignoring what they do.

[@wildcavemann]

what are they doing?

[@adamjamesprince]

Zuck in his Tech Bro era

[@RI-xh7dl]

Yes Zuck. Don’t be silly.

[@hvhvgitaar]

It was true. Don’t rewrite history .

[@KaiseruSoze]

This cracks me up. "It didn't happen" and "we fixed it 5 yrs ago". Why would you have to fix it? The problem happened 9 yrs ago anyway.

[@wildcavemann]

People claimed there was a bug that let others steal data. there was a bug, it didnt let others steal data. the theft didnt happen but the bug did.

[@JackquelineSulyma]

Thanks for the analysis! A bit off-topic, but I wanted to ask: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (behave today finger ski upon boy assault summer exhaust beauty stereo over). Could you explain how to move them to Binance?

[@lukeeinwechter2159]

The verge is a perfect platform to peddle the lies of meta and Microsoft. Great job. Thank goodness your legal council is also your chef editor. 😝

[@srjhr]

Did bro get himself some eyebrows?

You are hurting people
