That interview was just hilarious looking at the context. Mark is so in it he doesn't even realize it.
"So the government came to us and was like...."
"So the question is what classifiers to set to catch the bad actors."
Mark, no; the question is not what classifiers to set. Its the fact you can decide such things with users data.
The entire premise of just these two talking points had me keel over.
1. The government colluded and pressured private corporations. Government officials doing what they are supposed to NOT be doing.
2. Yes, so we have your data. Like all of it. Lots of it. We are running and making these systems to determine on what to do with these actors in a way that involves trends of data. Oh no. Don't worry. We will catch the bad guys.
Its not so much Facebook having these systems and programs, its the fact they can even do this with the data is even scarier. The entire thing is the antithesis of privacy.
