       Here's the direct link to the findings from those documents:https://www.parliament.uk/documents/commons-committees/culture-media-and-sport/Note-by-Chair-and-selected-documents-ordered-from-Six4Three.pdfIt is really quite damning.* Facebook deliberately obscured from users what information they were collecting about them & how to opt out* Facebook used its monopoly to cripple competing applications and services* Facebook signed agreements to acquire data other app developers collected in exchange for some of its own* Companies could circumvent user permissions by signing an agreement with Facebook

       @bobstechsite but "we" suspected this all along, and told our families and friends about it. I deleted my account few years back because it was looking bad. Blame yourselves if you willingly stayed within those walled gardens for that tiny hit of dopamine because of likes and hollow comments.

       @livestradamus @bobstechsite you cannot just blame people for being humanly flawed, AI makes the addictive power of the platform even more powerful with the fitting to be so accurate.many people are discouraged to look elsewhere  because of psychological torture Facebook pressures them. it is just not only their fault, and we better address that if we want people to  become curious and try things that would not enslave them

       @tykayn @bobstechsite I can and I do.People should start taking ownership of their decisions and not have the nanny state wipe their asses too.

       @livestradamus @tykayn the fact is that deleting Facebook doesn't unfortunately save you from Facebook, as they just get your data by other means (either from friends and family, or as we've just learned from mobile app developers)Until very recently they also bought data from data brokers like experian, so if you've ever had a credit check they know about you.This barely even scratches the surface of what they're doing. 3 million users left over Cambridge Analytica and it barely made a dent
