You could feel sorry for Facebook if it wasn’t for how badly it has handled everything since last week’s Cambridge Analytica scandal hit the headlines. The bad news for the all-seeing social network this week comes in the form of Facebook users posting online years’ worth of contacts and call histories that they’d found when downloading all of the data that Facebook had been gathering on them. The worse news was how Facebook handled it, and you can probably guess how it went about it. Facebook blamed the user.
That’s right. If Facebook has been storing all of your call data, it’s your own damn fault. Apparently, Facebook only gathers all of this information if you give it permission and only does it to improve your experience when using Facebook Lite and Messenger. This fact may technically be true, but the fact that the people posting all this info online seem oblivious to it only highlights further how Facebook has been hoodwinking Facebook users. Surely know it won’t be long before we see Zuckerberg testifying in front of Congress.
