That's what is happening, kids have Facebook just to use Instagram. In fact my father complained no one is posting images on FB anymore.

And yeah, i deleted my FB account a year ago and don't miss a thing of it...

That's exactly what I was thinking. Imagine the poor bastard that "bought" $100,000 worth of their crytocurrency, then Facebook has another privacy scandal... but I just bought $100,000 worth of this crytocurrency, and now it's worth -100,000 !!

Bugger that.

It's true. When these types of monopolies get in there with excessive amounts of power, as they say, power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Facebook may or may not have started with the best of intentions, that is highly debatable. But at this point, it's just doing everything it can to intercept everything. There's only so much that can be done but blockchain technology might be one answer. And the crypto security solutions that exist there in. Of course blockchain comes with it's own set of issues but at least it's an open protocol to deal with rather than one closed off from the world.

Oh, not only user data!

This one for sure takes the biscuit... https://www.theregister.co.uk/2019/1...ook_data_loss/

"Facebook has lost a copy of the personal details of 29,000 of its employees after hard drives containing unencrypted payroll information were stolen from an employee's car.
