You can defend however you want. The original comment was a snark and the way it was written clearly showered cynicism when I read it.

>Please acknowledge FB fundamentally doesn't operate with our best interests in mind and this is why the default attitude to the company should be one of being skeptical and cautious.

No I will not acknowledge this. Personally, I like that FB ads are well targeted, that I am able to discover new content, and also the fact that I am able to keep in touch with a number of my friends (who otherwise I wouldn't have) because of it. This is your opinion and you are totally entitled to it.

That's cute but as far as I can tell from your comment history, you don't even live in the EU, you don't get to speak for us (I only looked because I didn't want to assume). The laws in the USA must be just to your liking, because for at least the past month, you seem to have been doing nothing but arguing for data collection overreach and against privacy, while simultaneously playing the "what about Google/Twitter/FB/the other one" card.


Well you are advocating for FB to shut the company down! You are the last person to be taken seriously here.
