“If you wanna buy something, you go to Amazon; if you wanna know something, you go to Google; if you wanna waste time, you go to Facebook” - Ben Thompson
Don’t get this wrong, most of the times we don’t know what to buy or what to know, so facebook can come out winner!
This could apply to any causal “I have some time let me check out ...” ... could be Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram etc.

Ok it is 2019, soon 2020 and here is the case for @twitter to allow editing the tweets for god sake cc @jack @TwitterSupport @sriramk /1
Case #1, lets say, you started a long thread like this one and you want to edit the top one, you are stuck, because if you delete the top one, the whole thread has to be re-typed #fail cc @jack @TwitterSupport @sriramk /2
If your intention is to have a time stamp, you can still allow edit and internally create a new tweet or thread which will be a win-win...good user experience and audit in tact, wdyt? cc @sriramk @jack @TwitterSupport /3

chanyeol and his four-year-old daughter naeun have been celebrating the last two christmases with no one else but the two of them.

chanyeol is planning to celebrate this year's christmas with naeun's uncles (chanyeol's best friends) but naeun is planning something else.
"daddy~ our christmas break will be in a few days." naeun cheered from the passenger seat while chanyeol was putting on her seatbelt.

"really? that means daddy could finally take you to the arcade." chanyeol told her daughter with the same cheery tone.

"yes & we'll eat a lot!"
"we will." chanyeol promised. the car engine roared & the two were off to naeun's school.

naeun is in kindergarten & she goes to a school a bit far from their house but closer to chanyeol's workplace. as soon as she finishes school, chanyeol picks her up & brings her to his work

Incoming: Friday afternoon #Facebook / #GDPR tweetstorm, because this week has been pretty deflating for us #privacy wonks.

If you're European, you probably got an email from FB this week, with this subject line:

/1
"X, please accept our updated Terms by May 25 to continue using Facebook."

Now, let's talk about how non-compliant that subject line is. It suggest that failing to accept the new terms will result in account suspension. That's a problem.
#GDPR requires consent to be "freely given" and says that services can't be withheld just because the consumer doesn't consent to ALL THE TRACKING.

The last line of the email is "Please go to Facebook to review and accept the Terms" which reinforces the subject line threat.

Ahead of Zuckerberg's Congress testimony, a quick revision guide.
All you need to know about Facebook (and why you should be concerned), brought to you by the Observer/Guardian's investigation into data and democracy...
Hard to believe it was less than a month ago that @carolecadwalla broke the story about GSR harvesting 50m+ Facebook profiles for @CamAnalytica to use in political campaigning:
Revealed: 50 million Facebook profiles harvested for Cambridge Analytica.. theguardian.com/news/2018/mar/…
Via the first major interview with @CamAnalytica whistleblower @chrisinsilico which explained Facebook had known about the leak for at least 18months and detailed Robert Mercer / Steve Bannon's central roles ‘I made Bannon’s psychological warfare tool’: theguardian.com/news/2018/mar/…

to train a machine learning model

to manipulate people..
3⃣ Facebook wants to “automatically sense, record and identify all types of activities such as walking, running, jogging, cycling, rowing, driving with car, bus, train, walking stairs, jumping, swimming, playing football & skiing” patents.google.com/patent/US20150… | #Facebook #privacy

With all the concern over Facebook Privacy being highlighted with the recent Cambridge Analytica investigation, I thought I'd share some tips on how to 'clean up & crack down' on your Facebook profile. #CambridgeAnalyticaUncovered #Facebook
The obvious thing to do is shut down your profile. However, DEACTIVATING your profile does NOT delete your data. Facebook retain that in case you decide to return. This is an important distinction: if you just want to deactivate - Settings -> Manage Account -> Deactivate
If you want Facebook to delete your data, you need to go to facebook.com/help/delete_ac… - however you may want to archive your old photos and data before doing so, and to be doubly sure, you'll want to manually unlink the external apps and delete your posts and likes.

Revealed: 50 million Facebook profiles harvested for Cambridge Analytica in major data breach
Whistleblower describes how firm linked to former Trump adviser Steve Bannon compiled user data to target American voters  theguardian.com/news/2018/mar/…
Cambridge Analytica who worked with Trump’s team and the winning Brexit campaign harvested millions of FB profiles of US voters, in the tech giant’s biggest ever data breach, and used them to build a powerful software program to predict and influence choices at the ballot box.
They used personal information taken without authorization in early 2014 to build a system that could profile individual US voters, in order to target them with personalised political advertisements.
