      Mark Zuckerberg: “Yeah so if you ever need info about anyone at Harvard just @ me. I have over 4,000 emails, pictures, addresses, SNS.”

      “What? How’d you manage that one?” a friend asked.

      “People just submitted it,” “I don’t know why. They ‘trust’ me. Dumb fucks.”

        Name address and so on i, well, understand if you buy something online to fill that in. But sns and id??? Thats all kinds of stupid. Why would you give thata willingly to fb? Its not a government entity or even a bank.

      Unfortunately, when we sign up to their EULAs we “willingly” give everything up… So technically it ends up being legally theirs 🥺

        Not quite, but pretty close. You still hold copyrights in anything protected by copyright for example. They just have a perpetual license to use your work. We really ought to be working on laws to protect privacy and limit corp content piracy without explicitly clear opt-ins.

          Maybe we should charge them for emails they send us. Want me to sign up for a news letter, that will be 20€ per email. Or something.

            Back in the paper spam days, some folk would stuff the “postage paid” envelopes with junk and mail them back to troll the companies. Setting up a junk address with an autoresponder would be pleasing, but probably would get tagged illegal.

              Shame, its legal when big corp does it but illegal when I do it. This always seems weird to me.
