WTF is Facebook doing? They've been making bone-heading privacy-destroying decisions for at least a decade now, but it somehow seems like it's gotten worse recently even as they've increasingly been coming under scrutiny? Isn't this the opposite of how a rational actor should be responding? Or are they figuring since they're already taking the heat for it, they might as well continue doing it?
Facebook has yet to face any real consequence for their actions, so they persist.
This isn’t ever going to change until governments do their job and take protecting the population they are sworn to protect as a serious part of their jobs.
