minus-squareQuentinCallaghanAlink11•3 years agoThese kinds of events are starting to be commonplace for Facebook. This shows what’s the problem with large centralized platforms. We will see Zucc once again looking really robotic in court or some corporate PR video.
minus-square@roastpotatothief@lemmy.mllinkfedilink3•3 years agoThink of all the other organisations who have your personal data, but it might not make the news when they are hacked. Even electricity companies, delivery companies, even shops sometimes demand your phone number before they’ll do their job. They probably get hacked frequently, without always making the news. This is gold for phishing and spyware companies, companies just like Facebook.
