It’s Time to Make Our Privacy Tools Easier to Find
"We've heard loud and clear that privacy settings and other important tools are too hard to find, and that we must do more to keep people informed", Erin Egan, Facebook's chief privacy officer, and Ashlie Beringer, its deputy general counsel, said in a statement. "We are probably focusing on the intelligence part and getting smart people here who lack a moral compass and loyalty".
"That's why all the work we do in growth is justified", he wrote. All the subtle language that helps people stay searchable by friends. "We run a much greater risk of stumbling on them later". For many, it would be easy to create profiles based on these posts and "Likes" and "Shares", but it is when we are the targets of malicious and influencing messages that we get quickly uncomfortable.
As a response to the memo's release, Boz claimed in a statement posted on Twitter that he didn't actually agree with it when he wrote it, and he doesn't agree with it today. "It would be terrifying if Facebook's leadership was so ensconced in naive bromides about the goodness of connecting people as to be blind to its obvious dark sides", Conor Friedersdorf wrote in the Atlantic. They also don't really have a higher objective other than their corporate bottom line, although they like to pretend otherwise - it makes it easier for them to both attract top talent and sleep at night.
Maybe it costs a life by exposing someone to bullies. Maybe someone dies in a terrorist attack co-ordinated on our tools.
"So we connect more people. The work we will likely have to do in China someday All of it".
The data breach by British political consultancy firm Cambridge Analytica has changed the way we interact with Facebook.
It is a mark of the company's dominance of the social media landscape - Facebook has 2.13 billion monthly active users, WhatsApp 1.5 billion and Instagram 800 million - that finding a single alternative is hard.

DMK calls bandh over Cauvery on April 5
The Tamilnadu government on Saturday filed a contempt petition in the Supreme Court against the Central government. Therefore the question of asking Karnataka submit indent does not and should not arise for consideration.
The consequences are regulation and hearings from USA and European lawmakers.
Mr Bosworth has since tweeted that he "didn't agree" with the post at the time he had posted it, but he had shared it with staff to be "provocative". "To do that effectively we have to be able to consider even bad ideas".
Zuckerberg said the memo does not reflect the vision of the company, according to Time magazine. That's why all the work we do in growth is justified. We also need to work to bring people closer together.
Flores said he anticipates fellow committee members will ask Zuckerberg about Facebook's role in the 2016 presidential election and related Russian-backed pages, but he will focus his questions on privacy concerns of Americans' personal information.
In 2007, an interview with Zuckerberg revealed the Facebook founder's plan for the future, which ultimately led to the recent controversy.
This agnostic approach to data made Facebook indifferent toward who was adding to that supply chain, whether they're companies out to gain sheer profit, politicians out to game sentiments, trolls out to earn money from lies, or fake news sites out to click-bait us and pollute the already murky waters of online chatter.
"Ideally in 10 or 20 years from now all of the standards we have we'll ask 'How did we not have this before?' I think that's the next generation question, them saying 'I heard about Cambridge Analytica in a history book, that's insane, '" said Diego Naranjo, a Spanish policy adviser to EDRi at its office in Brussels.
