  1. This is precisely why I never bought any FB stock despite knowing it would blow up for a while. The business model was built on the back of a complete lack of ethics. Eventually the odds are that will bite you.

  2. The battle is for ANY decency as greed piles up to our collective necks. Religion, fu*k religion this has nothing to do with religion some of that group are without morals so don’t even go there. This is about right and wrong period.

  4. Just like Equifax, (because if your info is stolen, it’s probably fine), I expect very little to come of this. FB might sink down the drain with fines from the government, but the consumer won’t have any payback, no retribution, not a lick of salt in the whole thing. Too bad for shareholders of FB and too bad for consumers who were fleeced. Just another giant FUCK YOU from this government.
