Is Facebook Really Scarier Than Google? - Facts So Romantic

Mark Zuckerberg, the founder and C.E.O. of Facebook, admitted recently his company knew, in 2015, that the data firm Cambridge Analytica, which assisted with Donald Trump's election campaign, had improperly acquired information on 50 million Facebook users. "This was a breach of trust," Zuckerberg said, in a Facebook post. "We need to fix that." But that's not the only thing Facebook needs to fix. "The problem with Facebook is not just the loss of your privacy and the fact that it can be used as a totalitarian panopticon," said François Chollet, an artificial intelligence and machine learning software engineer at Google DeepMind, in a tweet yesterday.
