My reaction to this headline is, if you want someone to care about you, call your mother.

Most of the world doesn't care about you, and it's not a scandal, it's just how reality works.

The whole problem with Facebook is that we somehow ever trusted that it was not motivated by profit, and shared the most intimate details of our lives with it. Stupid fucks, us.

I’m not sure if your language was intentional but this was literally Mark’s attitude from day one. [1]

Agreed. If there is a gap between how we expect an industry treats customers, and how customers are treated in (like social media), then the answer is government regulation - not some moral shouting in the media.

A healthy capitalist society is one with efficient regulations. I feel like these pieces often try to discredit all of capitalism just because a regulation is needed somewhere.

I don't want to live in a theocracy dictated by whoever screeches the loudest in the media or on social media.
