What do you think about the Facebook privacy breach recently ? - off topic.

If you're worried about your privacy, you don't put your life on Facebook, or anywhere else that the internet has a connection to.
I don't understand why people feel the need to share everything with everyone.

To answer the question, though, I think this breach is like all other breaches and all the rest of them to come. Data protectors are always going to be on the back foot, fighting off more and more breaches. The simple fact is that, as the amount of stored/shared data increases, so does the effort by the "bad guys" to access it.

Just stop putting your stuff out there.

This.. 

big man on the Hill today

Our Lord and Saviour - Jesus Christ... oh wait Mark Zuckerberg


Just by looking upon this photo, your computer will get up and walk away bug free.

I prefer images that come from articles talking about the "Zuckerberg Stare." Where he look at you a certain way when you've gone full derp, and he's stare destroys your soul.

Zuckerberg said at the hearings today he wants to use AI to police “hate speech” (although he couldn’t exactly define ”hate speech” himself). Can you imagine using AI to police speech? So you post a comment, and the AI instantly looks through thousands of other comments and, using machine learning and whether people got “offended” by such comments in the past, decides whether to block your comment or not, or maybe even issue you a “strike.” Or maybe the AI will be smart enough to make you think your comment went through when it didn’t. Or maybe it will even edit your words to be “non Offensive”, making you sound like you said something you didn’t. Maybe these policies will filter down to Oculus, so an AI will police everything you say in a social app and report to the authorities anything you say that is politically incorrect. Or maybe we should just forget “hate speech,” a term Zuckerberg can’t even define himself, and just follow the good old fashioned rules of courtesy and common sense?

Um he actually said that it was too nuanced to be able to be spotted by AI, he said that AI don't get the context, and said such systems would be at least 5-10years away if not later.

Hate Speech isn't hard to define nor identify. It's pretty obvious, and often associated with other blatantly obvious traits, like "ignorance," "bigotry," and "idiocy."

AI can't spot it yet, but most people are born with the capability to identify these things.

And today we get some of the greatest Tweets unleashed upon the world after Zuckerberg was questioned on Capitol Hill.

The conversation i was talking about was where Zuck somewhat waffled about the matter at the Senate Hearings and said,

“But I do generally agree with the point that you’re making which is as we are able to technologically shift towards — especially having A.I. — proactively look at content, I think that is going to create massive questions for society about what obligations we want society to fulfill and I do think that is a question we need to struggle with as a country because I know other countries are and they’re putting laws in place and I think that America needs to figure out and create the set of principles that we want American companies to operate under.”

Ted Cruz asks Zuckerberg point blank why Palmer Luckey was fired (about 4 minutes in):
