This makes me happy.
I've always viewed Facebook as a threat and treated it that way. Zuckerberg never got anything from me.
But I failed horribly at dissuading others. It's good to see some waking up now, but it's a little too late. People are already conditioned to hand over intimate profiles to questionable services.
The herd will just move over to some clone, maybe google+, or some other.

In many ways I find the outrage silly. I'm not defending Cambridge Analytica, or Facebook, they're scum. But the users willingly handed over all their information to a corporate entity . Nobody stole anything from them. CA may have stolen from Facebook, I don't know/care. Nobody stole from the users, they gave it away, and can not expect any privacy now.

As for Elon vs Zuckerberg. I see a hero who wants to open up new technology and frontiers, and a villain that wants to control and limit them.
Go team Elon!

Come on over to gab.ai. they don't mine and sell your personal info, even if you are retarded enough to give it to them.

I had a look at Gab, but I just can't get into it. Maybe I'm using it wrong, but they seem to have stripped away the compartmentalization, and community feel.
It's been a while, maybe I'll have another look.

Elaborate. Feels normal to me. I never used Twitter before using gab, so maybe I'm missing something.
