He’s actually the little weasel he looks like he is🖤

Why is Assange in prison and Fuckerburg isn't SMDH

Simple and practical algorithm for dysfunctional companies: 1. Break client confidentiality to make a profit 2. When discovered, stay silent 3. Then deny 4. Then admit and say you’re sorry 5. Then announce irrelevant readjustments somewhere 6. Then back to 1.

BIG EMAIL 'MESS UP'......NICE ONE ZUCKERBERG!

They are corrupt. And total liars.

Unsurprisingly, this article mentions Russia three different times, but fails to mention that Zuckerberg was giving the stolen information to the Democrats. He has acknowledged this publicly and apologized already...not sure what CNN gains from ignoring it.

Isn't that dangerous?

how is this news? we already know facebook doesnt care about privacy. they should be shut down and fined into oblivion.

Assume they took everything.

And wasn’t there a recent story that they copied the contacts of facebook users without their consent?

Exposing passwords and private data has become Facebook's other name. Too bad!

facebook shame on you and MarkZuckerburg you’re a thief. shameless privacy security CyberSecurity.

FB is a POS. The concept is amazing, but it's got this guy as it's CEO. I've managed to find friends I had lost touch with for over 20 years, but then we use Twitter to chat online...you know a network I can trust.

🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

Then, how he differs from Julian Assange?

Trump/republicans LOVE Facebook, It's how they got elected... WTF

Social Radar - Jan Theuninck, 2018

I knew it... and not imagine how much money you can do having that and how much it can be outused by workers. I knew it!

Russia, if you're listening...

Not surprising

Anyone who has dated a Facebook employee has been stalked for sure.

The movie wasn’t wrong about this guy he really is a nerdy villain

I just don't understand why people are still on Facebook.

Yup.

lock him up! he is a thief, a spy, a hacker. it´s time to end this game. it´s not enough to say 'sorry' every time he violates the law.. usa facebook wien

Why the Media Dumped Beto for Mayor PeteAnalysis: Journalists love a candidate who loves them back I like that this is a thing. This isn’t a commentary on Pete. I’m sure he is fine. But I have a big problem with how much sway the media has on who people “should” for. That’s how we got Trump to begin with. journalists are one of the lowest-functioning groups in the country.

Trump, Cher and the debate over dumping immigrants in sanctuary citiesTrump talks about forcing “sanctuary cities” in California and elsewhere to take immigrants — a move some believe would be illegal. Cher responds. Here's some background from the pages of The Times: illegal immigration is illegal. We are going to send the illegals to the Sanctuary State of CA. You protect them you take them. Other words concentration camps.. this guy is something else 😂😫😒

California hits back as Trump threatens to ‘dump’ immigrants in ‘sanctuary cities’Politicians in California reacted to a plan from President Trump to bus immigrants from detention centers near the border and release them into sanctuary cities and other Democratic strongholds broadly opposed to Trump’s efforts to crack down on immigration. GavinNewsom is a virtue signaling hack. The dude is so calculated it's obvious. You couldn't make up a more vapid politician..... Trump bad Not sure why Democrats are not happy about this, I mean these scumbag politicians have been using immigrants as tools for a long time I say you democrats take these people in better yet send them to newsom, Piglosi and Mad max Mansions

Can Trump send us some of the immigrants he wants to dump on ‘sanctuary’ cities?'Dropping 10,000 asylum-seekers on Los Angeles in one fell swoop could create a logistical problem...where the local capacity for resettling migrants awaiting deportation hearings has been overwhelmed,' columnist Scott Martelle writes. But boy, won’t the expected coverage it gets make the fox folks giddy!!!! Since we are a sanctuary city, we should welcome all immigrants here with open hearts, homes and wallets 10,000? I thought California can absorb a million refugees. aren't we like the 7th richest economy in the world.

Retaliating against Democrats, Trump says he's considering dumping migrants in 'sanctuary cities'BREAKING: After a DHS official told NBCNews Thursday night that the White House considered busing migrants to 'sanctuary cities' but the 'suggestion' was 'floated and rejected,' President Trump now says he's 'giving strong considerations' to the plan. NBCNews Animal at the helm and that’s the bottom line. NBCNews I think it’s fair. Sanc cities are more welcoming of illegals. It only makes sense to place them in sanc cities. We want them to go where they are supported and loved. ☺️☺️ NBCNews Just do it.
