He’s actually the little weasel he looks like he is🖤

Why is Assange in prison and Fuckerburg isn't SMDH

Simple and practical algorithm for dysfunctional companies: 1. Break client confidentiality to make a profit 2. When discovered, stay silent 3. Then deny 4. Then admit and say you’re sorry 5. Then announce irrelevant readjustments somewhere 6. Then back to 1.

BIG EMAIL 'MESS UP'......NICE ONE ZUCKERBERG!

They are corrupt. And total liars.

Unsurprisingly, this article mentions Russia three different times, but fails to mention that Zuckerberg was giving the stolen information to the Democrats. He has acknowledged this publicly and apologized already...not sure what CNN gains from ignoring it.

Isn't that dangerous?

how is this news? we already know facebook doesnt care about privacy. they should be shut down and fined into oblivion.

Assume they took everything.

And wasn’t there a recent story that they copied the contacts of facebook users without their consent?

Exposing passwords and private data has become Facebook's other name. Too bad!

facebook shame on you and MarkZuckerburg you’re a thief. shameless privacy security CyberSecurity.

FB is a POS. The concept is amazing, but it's got this guy as it's CEO. I've managed to find friends I had lost touch with for over 20 years, but then we use Twitter to chat online...you know a network I can trust.

🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

Trump/republicans LOVE Facebook, It's how they got elected... WTF

I knew it... and not imagine how much money you can do having that and how much it can be outused by workers. I knew it!

Russia, if you're listening...

Not surprising

Anyone who has dated a Facebook employee has been stalked for sure.

The movie wasn’t wrong about this guy he really is a nerdy villain

I just don't understand why people are still on Facebook.
