I'd be fine with social media ceasing to exist after all the shit it's brought with it over the years.

If Facebook didn't exist some other company doing the same thing would. People should just not put anything on facebook that they wouldn't want discovered. The users are pretty much retarded when it comes to their own security

"""bug"""

with governments insisting on backdoors, im not sure if I should take this at face value or not. Just look at what's happening in Australia for a high profile case

Update: Under GDPR, sites are meant to notify users within 72 hours after discovering a data breach. When asked why the fuck they waited 2 months in this case, Facebook said they had to spend 2 months investigating before they were able to formally "determine" that a breach had occurred, thus setting off the 72-hour timer.

The Irish data protection commissioner is investigating and will decide whether to slap Facebook's shit for this, or let them get away with it and set the precedent that you can dodge this restriction by just "investigating" for months
