Aw, the poor Billionaire is just so, so very sorry… Isn’t that cute and contrite of him?
You think we ought to let him keep his monopoly?
All these yo-yo’s who collect mountains of personal data on everyone and their parakeet from Experian to Faceschnook, all of them swear up and down that your data is safe and private.
Right up until someone else STEALS it.
No one is asking the right question thru this snowstorm of media mea culpa.
WHY DO THEY HAVE ALL THIS IN THE FIRST PLACE?
Because it is forked over like so much manure when it is asked for, for no good reason at all, and people think NOTHING of giving up their “data lives” to people like this, who insist they have no power over people, and no ill intentions. They’re all just cute little computer angels. And if you believe that…
But they don’t feel any regard for how their “platforms” are used, as long as they are making Hay Bales of money.
Then it’s “Sorry, so sorry…”
SORRY is the right word, That’s for sure.
But it isn’t just money obsessed nitwits like Mr. Faceschnook who are Sorry. He has loads of help from heads of other bovines who gladly bought this snake oil by the case, and continue to do so 24/7, with never a lesson learned, until it happens the next time, naturally.
This guy ought to resign, and his company should be broken up into units of manageable size, in order to make much closer regulation possible and applicable.
How many “strikes” can a rich guy buy, and not be “Out” if he owns the baseball team, the field, the bats and balls, pays the umpires, and prints all the tickets himself?
Hang on a second, let me go ask Bill Gates.
Before November–Probably no one.
After November–We’ll see.
Regardless, they will be spending a lot of time in the barrel.
