Elon Musk deletes Tesla and SpaceX presence from Facebook. Now if only a move off of Facebook can have as much success as Tesla and SpaceX! https://t.co/DwDHqVVEjB #deletefacebook #facebook #tesla #spacex

@D_70WN @facebook Yes, but you see this will never be offered, as its control that is sought not revenue per se. #deletefacebook

📽️ There is now evidence of a worrying number of links between the Conservatives and Cambridge Analytica - is the Prime Minister comfortable with this? #PMQs #CambridgeAnalytica

A friend of Facebook whistleblower @chrisinsilico shows me his posts to friends on Messenger are now blocked by Facebook as abusive or spam

@nberlat @Asher_Wolf Its a shame "protecting their other classified business" was more important than allowing the ads to continue to run and thus further keeping sex workers safe.

The five biggest corporations in the world have far too much power over which voices we hear. When governments put pressure on the major online platforms, it's inevitable that activists will be silenced. https://t.co/K4C1vfc9LD

By the time they actually get that warrant to search Cambridge Analytica HQ (after having publicly announced it days ago), all evidence will have long been shredded/erased. Hell, the building might not even still be there! https://t.co/vIGhFUiIQh

@cwarzel @Asher_Wolf A higher than expected upswell of support for better digital privacy laws will make this not a wise buy call. #PrivacyLawNow

@KetanJ0 @Asher_Wolf So easy to have started to lose track of all the unethical Facebook has done over the years!

As recently as October 2017, Facebook's in-house ad platform was still allowing marketing companies to target or exclude people based on race: https://t.co/xDoVl2HIGE

@susanematthews @Asher_Wolf @aprilaser A #PrivacyLawNow hashtag would be a great one to see start trending.

Facebook and Google are huge threats to democracy.

Noteworthy Facebook refuses to release a pay option that would let users not have data shared, be tracked, nor be advertised to in exchange for a monthly fee. Its about control not profit per se. #deletefacebook #facebook

@podehaye @Asher_Wolf The biggest oversight in Idiocracy was failing to predict what would happen if dumb people were ruled over by the power of big data and AI...

[Swarmr @DoitTome234445]

@motherboard That's why the US needs a privacy law. Even if the data has been transferred without permission its use can still be regulated.

@dangillmor @Asher_Wolf If you are going to have patent and copyright laws and still have free speech, you can sure figure a way out to have privacy and free speech too.

[Swarmr @DoitTome234445]

@aprilaser @Asher_Wolf People need to use the Facebook privacy breach to demand their politicans act. Conventional wisdoms can be turned inside out IF enough people make their voices heard.

[Swarmr @DoitTome234445]

Facebook is the gateway to political power, so society would need to trust it 100% No private entity should have power to control the truth, to be able to shape opinion or whom to win an election. #deletefacebook #facebook
