Facebook: Isn't it enough we said sorry?

​Facebook says "We're sorry. We'll be good. We Promise."

Oh no, not another investigation!


Lobbying commissioner asked to investigate Facebook
NDP questions whether Facebook executive Kevin Chan’s meetings with cabinet ministers are lobbying
  • In a letter sent to Commissioner Nancy Bélanger on Friday, NDP MP Charlie Angus questioned whether the social media giant is finding ways around the rules, especially the rules that require it to register its lobbyists. The company has no registered lobbyists, despite frequent meetings with senior decision-makers.

I feel confident in saying that, of course, Facebook gets around the rules. When politicians want to use Facebook for publicity, they're going to need to give something in return, don't you think?

I predict this action will fizzle out, because I can't see the Libs or the Cons wanting to do anything except say they'll look into it. You know, like Bill C-51, which the Libs promised to take the bite out of if they were elected. You decide if they really defanged the monster in the new C-59.

If you saw the US Senators grilling Zukerberg [YouTube], you know that his "sorry" there was mostly quite sufficient. You could tell by the look on Zukerberg's face whether the Senator was friendly or a little too probing. He would beam as mentors praised his amazing talents, but his bottom lip would protrude and he would look genuinely hurt as a few (usually women, for some reason) poked a little too hard.  It was almost as if he had been assured in advance that the session would go easy on him and he was taken off-guard when there seemed to be some actual pointed criticism.

What Zukerberg knows is that Facebook users are their own worst enemies in this situation. They really think that this is the only way they can share their doings and photos with their friends and loved ones? They don't want to share badly enough to go to the trouble of sending an email with attachments, or licking a stamp?

It doesn't bother me that some people prefer to communicate through Facebook, but they shouldn't act surprised that they're pretty much bare-nekkid out there. Accept it; you wanted to get noticed, and you did. Movie stars, too, complain about the very thing they spent their lives attaining -- public attention. Once they get it, they want privacy, but every child has heard, "You can't have your cake and eat it too."

One of the weirdest examples of people placing too much importance on trivia, is the story of "Life Log".

As a commenter to this CBC article, Robert McNicol pointed out:
  • We now know that in 2004 the Military Industrial Complex scrubbed "Life Log" where they would snoop on people for their entire lifetime.
  • Then the next day in 2004 FaceBook was formed. FB, Twitter, and yes Google are all created by darpa/cia. Not some young whiz kids as they'd have us believe. The Cambridge bit is just the scapegoat. It's deeper than you think.

Well, there's food for thought. Keeping a Lifelog: The Definitive Guide

Here's more about Life Log's Darpa/CIA connection:
  • In 1998 Mann started a community of lifeloggers (also known as lifebloggers or lifegloggers) which has grown to more than 20,000 members. Throughout the 1990s Mann presented this work to the U.S. Army, with two visits to US Natick Army Research Labs, as well as a formal invited talk.

DARPA Lifelog
  • ... aims to compile a massive electronic database of every activity and relationship a person engages in. This is to include credit card purchases, web sites visited, the content of telephone calls and e-mails sent and received, scans of faxes and postal mail sent and received, instant messages sent and received, books and magazines read, television and radio selections, physical location recorded via wearable GPS sensors, biomedical data captured through wearable sensors. The high level goal of this data logging is to identify "preferences, plans, goals, and other markers of intentionality".

Some of the cruellest rhetorical words you'll ever hear are: "I said I'm sorry; what more do you want?" And then there are some who never say they're sorry, but instead will accuse you of "dwelling on the past".

That's probably how the term "history repeats itself" came about: by not examining our faults; not mending our ways.

Facebook will no doubt have occasion to mouth more "sorries" as time goes on.  And they will be forgiven, because after all, it wasn't Facebook that invaded your privacy - it was the government in the form of so-called "security" services.  Facebook kept quiet about it -- and that's why "sorry" is good enough.

YaYa: sorry for the off topic, but, i've just updated and notified readers via this comment, which I'm sharing with you:

Updated again- because the G-7 were meeting Toronto when this took place (not the g-8) and in once of those coincidences on the agenda was the issue of soft targets

" The scene that unfolded on a Toronto street Monday is something straight out of a counter-terrorism officer's worst nightmares.

Security analysts call them "soft targets" — unsecured public spaces where a lone attacker can do maximum damage.

Those kinds of scenarios are on the agenda Tuesday for the G7 security ministers meeting in Toronto, along with other recent attacks in public spaces by terrorists."

That seems to be a strategy very reminiscent of a terror attack to push through new 'anti terror laws'. Here we have CSIS pushing a concern for 'soft target' attacks and on the very day they are raising the issue, in the very city the meeting is taking place what occurs? A soft target attack.
That is way beyond coincidental in my book

Penny, thanks. Did you notice that I referred my readers to your post in my sidebar bulletin?

This morning I worked on an article about Freeland, Iran, Israel, but didn't have time to finish it properly. Glad you're talking about both Toronto events, G7 and this horrible van attack.

I'm off for an eye appointment right now, but I'll be back!

Sorry, YaYaC, I hadn't noticed. Between doing regular things I've been trying to catch up on this incident
At first I thought perhaps the ptsb were making lemonade, but, now with CSIS and the soft target agenda being pushed that day in that city- I'm thinking they grew the darn lemons and are making the lemonade!

I'm back home now. People on the bus, people waiting for their glasses prescriptions to be filled, people I met who live near me - ALL mentioned only the "incel" issue (although one woman was curious about the G7 being there at the same time). They think he was just a guy who was sexually frustrated. It boggles me what people retain from the news these days!

Anyone reading this, please visit Penny's blog because she's keeping it updated better than I can on mine right now.
