If you're like me and you're pissed off by the drunken hamster that Facebook has the audacity to call an "algorithm," then maybe you've even started giving up too much time on this platform. What's more, you thought it would be a good idea not to give you all the details, including your preferences, I don't know what else. Facebook's policy leaves a lot to be desired, and not a few times I've been given to wake up banned overnight for nothing.
Maybe that's why I don't care if my data was part of those 553 million broken and scattered accounts on the Internet. But even so, Facebook doesn't seem to have the common sense to give you a notification if you've been among the thieves, proof that community standards steam is like a twenty-sided dice during a dungeon campaign. & Dragons.
Stolen data contains phone numbers, email addresses, birthdays, descriptions, even full names. These come from 2019, but let's be honest with ourselves: Who is going to change their email and password associated with their Facebook account once every few months or at least once a year?
Facebook is robbed like in the virtual forest
And from here, things get trickier. Facebook has taken note of the attack and promises to resolve the situation, but does not intend to warn users which of them were the victims of the crime. And this for two reasons that block any cognitive process: 1. Facebook "does not know who would need to be notified" and 2. Those suckers anyway "can do nothing after the evil has occurred, even if they knew." Excuse me?
The method used by the hacker is that of scraping, a trick practiced on a large scale, but which, apparently, violates the Facebook policy, which Zuckerberg puts in the throats of all those who try to use the platform, because that's it, it's 2021 and if you don't have Facebook, people think you don't exist… But this very hypocrisy has caught the attention of many. BuzzFeed, for example, provides an example of the indifference of the social media platform. Facebook did nothing about the controversial Clearview AI, which was bathing in scraping "for security reasons starting with the assault on the Capitol."
If we are to review the bugs of the platform, we have this: a lazy algorithm that does not know what is pragmatic and hits you with the suspension of the account when your world is dearer, you are afraid to go through the text, but only by reaction memes, and we also have a policy drowned in hypocrisy and / or indifference. After all, almost 5 billion people have Facebook, who is so special that they deserve to be notified if their data is stolen? You are no more important than my neighbor across the street, just as I am not Pope Francis, to ask openly for my secrets shared on social media to be protected.
