Mark Zuckerberg Getting His Butt Handed To Him

I suppose not having a FB account made me feel wise and secure.
D'oh!

Never heard of shadow profiles before?

These aren't the old days, you probably have a better chance of protecting yourself and your info if you actually sign up.

Facebook is not a monopoly. Nothing you listed is really a product of theirs.
Their product is user data and adverts, not the social platform - the platform (and user idiocy) is just how they acquire their product.
They're in the same business as Google, and Google does it better.

There's a big difference between something not being the true meat and potatos of their business (as you said, advertising) and it not being a product altogether.

Their social media platform is a product (although one that's not exchanged with money but rather with other resources) and the discussion about them being a monopoly is strictly around their competition with other platforms.

Again, user data is the product, the platform is just their extraction process.

Users are cattle and Facebook is the pasture.

To be fair to Zuckerberg he runs a business. Of course, he is trying to make it as profitable as possible.
It is up to the Senators now questioning him to regulate his business.

They have just simply missed that opportunity because they don't understand this new media.
The issue with Facebook was pretty clear 10 years ago. That's a long time past to properly regulate the industry.

Honestly, I really regret this obsession with FB/social media.

It's not like they are public goods. It's a corporation that makes money by advertising to people when they put stupid shit about their useless lives or opinions.

That they came to be perceived as / became so powerful tells alot about the vainness and futility of modern humans.

And if some people can be influenced in any meaningful way to vote based on some Russian trolls on FB, then honestly it's on them for being that low on the food chain.

Oh and all this crying about personal information. I sincerely don't get the outrage. Am I so important that I think FB selling my preferences when I click on links so outrageous?

No, I am nothing, and so is everyone else.

Lastly, monopoly ? WTF ? How does the concept of monopoly even apply to FB ? There are hundreds of social media platforms, each one as useless as FB. Who the fuck forces anyone to log in to a specific one ? We are not talking about natural gas, water or airlines. By definition, internet stuff is full of substitutes all over the place.

Really, this is an acute case of first-world problem. I think it's ridiculous.

It's not a good look to his Board of Directors if it appears that he didn't prepare for the question since it seems like an obvious one.

I wonder if he's on the hot seat.

Who are Facebook's competitors though? A handful of shitty dating sites? MySpace?

The last time Facebook had any real competition was like 2006, 2008 at the most recent.

this is dumb imo. its a dog and pony show. "ooohhhhh look how tough the congressmen are!"

facebook is a FREE.....FREE.....service. if you knowingly put sensitive stuff on there, what do you expect will happen to it? i do think steps should be taken to limit foreign entity's ability to sway the US public's opinion on issues, but that's hardly something zuckerberg probably ever expected he was going to have to tackle.

For someone who can't go a few words without tossing out epithets, you're in no position to label others as "defensive".

You're the most triggered poster in the WR for cuck's sakes

Somebody should bring up the guarded, private compound Zuck has in Hawaii. Just throw the kitchen sink at the guy.

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg is going to great lengths to protect his privacy on the Hawaiian island of Kauai, where he purchased a 700-acre plot of land in 2014 for more than $100 million. Starting last month, Zuckerberg began filing lawsuits against Hawaiian land owners who own small slices of his estate that were passed down from generation to generation, according to the Honolulu Star-Advertiser. As many as eight suits have been filed against hundreds of people, some of whom are dead. Notably, this isn’t the first of the social network exec’s attempts to buy his privacy; Zuckerberg’s plan to teardown and rebuild four of his Palo Alto, California homes surrounding his primary residence was denied last September.
