Facebook “cannot use all of the personal data” it gathers without restrictions and deadlines, according to the EU Court of Justice. The ruling is the latest in the EU privacy battle led by Austrian activist Max Schrems.
Mark Zuckerberg: (probably)
Objection you honor, when people are stupid enough to give us all their information, we should also be allowed to exploit it.
I’ve done this since it was just a school project, so I should be allowed to continue to do it by the precedence set.
This has been known since 2010:When Zuckerberg was 19, right after inventing his new social network, he had an instant messenger conversation with a friend where he bragged about having “over 4,000 emails, pictures, addresses, SNS.” When Zuckerberg’s friend asked why in the world people would give him their private information, Zuckerberg responded, “People just submitted it. I don’t know why. They ‘trust me.’ Dumb f–ks.”
The only thing that interest Zuckerberg, is the power the information from social networks gives him.
