Will Facebook Rock Our World Today?

Alexa speakers and fire stick probably worked out for those people.

Good riddance. Maybe finally WhatsApp can bring in some serious revenue? I have long been mad at the two WA founders. They don’t seem to care about actually creating any value for owners like us, while they happily pocketed billions on our back.

Yeah, let’s please not have anything good in Fb. get rid of founders, weaken encryption.

OTOH, big brother is proudly watching over you

very honest by china government haha

Haven’t we been thru this already? Nobody cares about privacy. It’s like broccoli. Everybody says they like it because it’s healthy but privately nobody cares.

Do you use gmail? Do you use credit cards? SMS? If people really care they should go hide in a cave. :smile:

I don’t think the main point of the article is to say that there is a lack of privacy. It’s more about the Chinese government publicly acknowledging that yes, you have no privacy and there’s nothing you can do about it.

Like @dioworld I applaud their honesty. :smile:

You all will regrett eventually, but will be too late.

Should I stop using Gmail now?

Regret is my last name… :rofl:

Email is not secure by definition. Even if you secure yourside, recipient doesn’t necessarily have to.

It’s actually not OK you keep normalizing this, but whatever. Just respect other people’s privacy, that’s all we can ask for.

So we should stop using email? SMS is bad too I assume?

sure, just keep doing your thing.

Property right is more important than privacy. As long as you have the constitution, government can’t use illegal obtained evidence. If we have a DNA database, it need to be private data and not public. If it’s public, it needs to be voluntary and it needs to disclose that your DNA data can be used against you by your government.

Government would need a consent or court search warrant to get your data.

But again, it’s very easy to collect your dna sample.

If it’s public, it needs to be voluntary and it needs to disclose that your DNA data can be used against you by your government.

Except… It doesn’t work when you involve relative’s DNAs. Doesn’t need to be sisters/brothers/close relatives, it can be distant. It gets really vague.

Well, you can’t control your relatives. They can even sue you

Not the same thing :slight_smile:

Follow the unibomber and hide in a cave. :smile:

Zuckerberg also announced that Facebook is launching a new dating feature that will allow users to find ā€œlong-termā€ relationships via the social network. The app will be accessible through your Facebook profile and pull in your interests, but will otherwise be disconnected from your Facebook account.

Edit: Just saw ā€œMTCHā€ thread. I was late.
