Eggsy 8,280 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Mark Zuckerberg is finally breaking his silence five days after a data scandal engulfed Facebook. The Facebook (FB) CEO pledged Wednesday to take a series of steps to protect data and fix what he called a "breach of trust" between the social network and its users. "We have a responsibility to protect your data, and if we can't then we don't deserve to serve you," Zuckerberg wrote in a Facebook post. "I've been working to understand exactly what happened and how to make sure this doesn't happen again." Zuckerberg is also set to speak with CNN's Laurie Segall in an interview to be broadcast on "Anderson Cooper 360" at 9 p.m. ET. News broke this weekend that Cambridge Analytica, a data firm with ties to President Donald Trump's campaign, reportedly accessed information from about 50 million Facebook users without their knowledge. Facebook says the data was initially collected by a professor for academic purposes in line with its rules. The information was later transferred to third parties, including Cambridge Analytica, in violation of Facebook's policies.

Facebook is now facing lawsuits from investors and users as well as a "delete Facebook" movement. The latest member of the latter: Brian Acton, the cofounder of WhatsApp, which Facebook acquired for $19 billion in 2014. In his post Wednesday, Zuckerberg said Facebook would further restrict developers' access to user data and promote an existing tool that helps users revoke permissions of apps accessing their data. Zuckerberg said Facebook is "working with regulators" conducting investigations into the Cambridge Analytica issue.

"We will learn from this experience to secure our platform further and make our community safer for everyone going forward." Sheryl Sandberg, Facebook's COO, also spoke out for the first time since the scandal erupted, calling it "a major violation of peoples' trust." http://money.cnn.com/2018/03/21/technology/mark-zuckerberg-cambridge-analytica-response/index.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimisaMonster 31,073 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Facebook is dead and just an account for long distance friends and relatives to "friend" each other...that's about it... Instagram and Twitter are more popular and more quick to share and be noticed by society with trending topics and photos and overall media attention... Nobody is saying...

Radio Ga Ga 5,671 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Facebook is not what it is used to be, people now watch random videos on it and it’s also used for its event pages, cuz without it you wouldn’t know what’s going on in your community And of course it’s great for stalking other people so fb is not dead but I can see it being replaced soon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gagnetti 361 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 They know this social media's getting less entertaining and getting more into politic stuff and "social media justice". So, what they do?? They try as hard as they can to keep some people online by sending notifications and to alert you every week about some friend's useless post that you'd think it's important, but isn't. For me, it's getting messier over time. That's why I'm not using that much anymore. But it is still important for some professional purposes. The problem is that these random notifications end up affecting business. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
