Facebook Breach


Facebook is in yet more privacy-related hot water after an exposed server was found online containing over 419 million records of users' phone numbers. That includes 133 million Americans' numbers and 18 million British people's numbers, so expect Facebook to face trouble, again, under EU data protection laws. TechCrunch

Good

They are too large, too invasive and too unethical.
 
Facebook Tactics


Snap has reportedly been telling the Federal Trade Commission about all the ways it felt Facebook was trying to suppress its rise—methods that it compiled in a dossier named "Project Voldemort." The FTC is also talking to other companies about Facebook's alleged anticompetitive tactics. Wall Street Journal
 
Making money. Facebook’s digicoin, Libra, will not stock the Chinese yuan in its currency basket. The exclusion could be a way to win favor with Facebook’s U.S. home market, where officials are wary of China’s growing economic influence. Also this week, the governor of China’s central bank commented for the first time on Beijing’s plans to launch a national cryptocurrency, but denied it would be released any time soon.

Don't you think that a currency for all people in the entire world will be a good thing ? Maybe not for physical goods yet but for online services.

No, not one bit. I don't like the idea of a one world government and I don't like the idea of one currency.

I think that international currencies are like stocks and buyers of stock. The more players, the more stability. If there was only one currency, then whoever held political dominance would dictate the rules. China does not play by international rules. They steal trade secrets, they make Trade promises they don't keep, they kill prisoners and sell their organs, they kidnapped women from their homes to abort their babies ( until recently), they continue to built permanent 'aircraft carriers' in the Pacific, after seizing foreign territory; and they kill political enemies.

Do you really think that they will play fair with a one world currency?

What do you mean by playing fair ? No one can print out crypto or manipulate it so that can be a good thing.

China will find a way to cheat. They don't live by the treaties they agree too, so there is no reason to believe that they will conform to an international currency. They kill babies and they kill political enemies. That does not inspire confidence in me.
 
Zuck's Meetings


Mark Zuckerberg has recently been holding informal dinners with conservative pundits such as Tucker Carlson and Hugh Hewitt, and lawmakers such as Republican Senator Lindsey Graham. The meetings, at Zuckerberg's homes, are reportedly part of an effort to cultivate allies on the right, in the context of conservative attacks on Facebook's supposed liberal bias, and potential moves by the Justice Department toward a possible breakup of the company.

Facebook Politics


Mark Zuckerberg has defended Facebook's decision not to ban political ads that contain falsehoods, saying such disinformation is "something we have to live with." The CEO also raised the specter of Martin Luther King's protest-related imprisonment when talking about upholding free expression—but MLK's daughter then pointed out her father was murdered partly because of the spread of disinformation by politicians.
