| #9 Anyone who didn't think there info was being mined by Facebook is a fool. Having said that it seems to me the Onion post is more about defusing the anger against a reliable liberal than anything else. |

| #6 Not that I'm all that sympathetic to Zuckerberg but I think Senator Kennedy's approach is all wrong. I don't believe FB rises to the level of a public utility that needs regulating and it's not a health or safety problem like food or drugs or cars. Nobody is twisting your arm to use FB or any of these social media so if you don't like the way they're doing it you are free to opt out. If you're afraid somebody's gonna find out your likes and dislikes don't post them on the Internet. Is that too hard to understand? But I guess grandstanding is what senators do. They sure as hell can't seem to do much of anything else. |

| #5 the American populace was reportedly squealing with delight as shares of Facebook stock plummeted to yet another low. It is the Onion but MZ must have known the sh!tstorm was coming; he had been dumping off huge amounts of his stock before this story broke in the media. |

| #4 Note that nobody mentions the CEO of the data-mining company's real crime. Yes, the #MeToo data-mining bit that got him fired and scared the hell out of the powers that be. |

| #2 data wasn't really stolen, it is still where it was data was simply used in a way somebody didn't like and in a way that wasn't specifically authorized FB uses people's data to get advertisers and for other commercial purposes, that's the biz plan |
