Where is the whistle Facebook?

The recent 60minutes interview with Frances Haugen, a former data scientist at Facebook has the media classes in a bit of a frenzy. They’re tripping over themselves and repeating what we already know: “Facebook over and over again has shown it chooses profit over safety.” Haugen has lined up testimony in front of Congress, and triggered another cycle of investigative reporting. Fine, that’s good, right? But haven’t we seen this before? Remember Cambridge Analytica? It’s starting to remind me of “Climate Change”. Facebook is the boogey man and we should reduce your carbon footprint! Jan 6 was Facebook’s fault not that other guys… A weekend in the capital for a CEO lashing sounds fun. Seriously, it’s all kind of like a traveling circus.

We’re all responsible for not caring about our data enough to pay for a trustworthy service. Can someone just say that? Why are these products free??? Homer Simpson says it best…
