So i posted concerning the adverse sentiment on Meta, and wished to offer some conclusions and clear up different issues.
So most individuals hate Meta/FB/Zuckerberg for a number of of those causes:
“They offered/promote your data, Cambridge Analytica”.
“They tampered with elections/misinformation”
“There are loopy individuals on FB/FB teams”
“Zuckerber is bizarre/lizard meme”
So lets see how legitimate are these causes:
Cambridge Analytica/Promoting data: FB didn’t promote the knowledge, an information scientist kind Cambridge created a FB app, customers gave this app permission to entry the information, now this app abused the Facebooks API to collect information from its customers mates, now this scientist sells this information to Cambridge Analytica in a breach of FB phrases, after FB informed CA to delete this information and CA promised to do it however did not.
So FB fucked up in permitting entry to person’s mates information by its API, that is it, they didn’t promote it, and what’s this oh so personal and delicate information that may smash an individual if somebody might entry it: “public profile, web page likes, birthday and present metropolis”, that is actually a disaster.

Elections/misinformation: mainly the algorithm was recommending misinformation to individuals, so in an ideal world this could not occur however why is that this totally different than every other misinformation video beneficial on YouTube, or publish in Reddit, primarily persons are saying we’re too dumb please FB inform us what is true and fallacious, so if you’re so mad at FB due to this you also needs to be mad at YouTube, TikTok, Twitter and Reddit for additionally permitting this on their platform.

Loopy individuals: Its the web there may be loopy individuals in every single place.
Zuckerber: Okay the dude is awkward, so.. you hate him, okay I assume.
In conclusion, this hate is just not actually based mostly on info simply conspiracy theories and exaggerations, but when sufficient individuals consider one thing then turns into “true”.
