I sure wonder what Alex Stamos and friends have to say now about how Facebook isn't evil, and how it's very important to shore up privacy from the inside
So yeah, all those people calling for "reform" and "change from the inside" and "work within the system to improve it"? *This* is what that leads to, and why we do not care for reforms - all it ended up doing was laundering Facebook's reputation
abortion, facebook
Actually, as a bit of backstory for those who weren't there for this: Stamos, as the newly hired CSO, was the Weirdly Defensive Nerd jumping in front of Facebook to defend it from public criticism about how Facebook was a danger to privacy and safety.
He was insistent that there was nothing fundamentally wrong with Facebook, it just needed the right person to safeguard that safety, and the people criticizing Facebook were just alarmists/extremists (paraphrased, it's been a few years).
And well, here we are, this is what you get, an unavoidable megacorp snitching on people who are trying to get an abortion
