The irony is that this was built so Facebook can be more compliant with GDPR.<p>They hinted this January that they would release this soon:<p>> “We’re rolling out a new privacy center globally that will put the core privacy settings for Facebook in one place and make it much easier for people to manage their data,” Sandberg said at a Facebook event in Brussels on Tuesday.<p><a href="https://www.reuters.com/article/us-facebook-sandberg-privacy/facebook-to-hand-privacy-controls-to-users-ahead-of-eu-law-idUSKBN1FC1Q6" rel="nofollow">https://www.reuters.com/article/us-facebook-sandberg-privacy...</a><p>So I guess the takeaway here is that privacy regulation works?<p>I also just love how they put it in their post:<p>> <i>People have also told us that information about privacy, security, and ads should be much easier to find.</i><p>Really, Facebook? People have just told you that? Are you freaking kidding me? People have been telling you that for a god damn <i>decade</i>. But you <i>chose</i> to ignore it, because you didn't care - until this major scandal was created that <i>forced</i> you to do this. It wasn't because "people told you" and as a company that "always listens to its users" (ha! good one), you decided to actually do that. Come on.<p>Facebook's tone throughout this entire scandal has been nothing but condescending. And yes, they really do think we're all idiots (as proven by how they responded on every other past screw-up and how they typically come out and lie about it):<p><a href="https://mondaynote.com/mark-zuckerberg-thinks-were-idiots-638c64dfab12" rel="nofollow">https://mondaynote.com/mark-zuckerberg-thinks-were-idiots-63...</a><p>Remember how they outright <i>lied</i> about the datr cookie being a "bug" for <i>years</i>, until they finally admitted in a Brussels court that the cookie has always been there <i>on purpose</i>, but as a "security feature" (another lie) ? I do:<p><a href="https://www.propublica.org/article/its-complicated-facebooks-history-of-tracking-you" rel="nofollow">https://www.propublica.org/article/its-complicated-facebooks...</a><p>Facebook's leadership is full of pathological liars, and they're always looking for another "angle" to get out of the latest scandal and come out ahead. Like how Zuckerberg put out full page ads with his "message" in multiple UK papers, so he doesn't have to go and testify before the committee. Despicable people. I used to think Uber was alone in its own class of evil companies, but Facebook is starting to fit the very same class of companies.
