Facebook Reboot

Mark Zuckerberg, in newly released court documents from a 2018 class-action lawsuit, is alleged to have considered wiping all user data as a solution to Facebook's privacy issues. The lawsuit stems from the Cambridge Analytica scandal where user data was improperly accessed and used for political purposes. The documents reveal discussions among Facebook executives about how to address the data privacy concerns and the potential impact of the GDPR. Zuckerberg allegedly made the comment about wiping everyone's data in response to concerns about how to comply with GDPR regulations, particularly in relation to data portability. The plaintiffs argue that this suggestion demonstrates Zuckerberg's awareness of the severity of Facebook's data privacy problems and his willingness to consider extreme measures. Facebook's lawyers are countering this claim, stating that the suggestion was never seriously considered and was taken out of context. They maintain that Facebook has always been committed to protecting user data and complying with privacy regulations. The documents also reportedly include discussions about identifying specific apps that were potential privacy risks. The case is ongoing and these documents are being used as evidence to support the plaintiffs' claims that Facebook knowingly violated user privacy. find the original article here: https://www.yahoo.com/news/mark-zuckerberg-suggested-wiping-everyone-110408822.html
