Four days after the allegations first surfaced, #DeleteFacebook started trending on Twitter late Tuesday as users complained about "trust issues" regarding how the company shares their personal data. It gained a notable booster when WhatsApp co-founder Brian Acton tweeted that the time has come for Facebook users to delete their accounts.
"Delete and forget. It's time to care about privacy," he tweeted.

He sabotaged Facebook with his Dystopian shit, the censorship the double standards. The monopoly of a public forum.
They are now trying to twist the shit they did and the way FB was weaponized by the Left, to shift the blame now to Trump and Bannon.
This will be a hoot to watch the collapse and demise of FB and Twitter. How do the Liberals plan on getting elected in the future?

Politicizing the platform was their first mistake.
Second mistake was overreaching.
Don’t think I’ll delete just now tho. I still use it to keep in touch with old friends, team schedules, etc.

That was done long ago when the CIA/NSA set it up as a data gathering operation.

You really thought Zuck was going to take all your private info that you willingly coughed up and NOT ride your ass around the internet with it for profit?

Facebook let Obama data-mine FB Friends and their Friends and their Friends to win the 2012 election.
Then bragged about it on all of the Cable news channels. Funny nobody was concerned then but Me.

After shaving more than $20 off its share price earlier this week, Facebook stock moved back into the green Wednesday as CEO Mark Zuckerberg said he would publicly address the company's relationship with Cambridge Analytica some time during the next 24 hours.
At the same time, another lawsuit has been brought against the company, the second since the New York Times and the Observer reported over the weekend that the company had failed to stop CA from using data improperly gathered from tens of millions of users, a Maryland woman sued Facebook Tuesday in a San Jose, Calif. court. Her suit was filed on behalf of other Facebook users whose data were accessed by CA without their explicit permission, Bloomberg reported.

Circling back to Zuckerberg, the company's founder and longtime CEO attributed the delay in making a statement to his desire to say something "meaningful" rather than delivering a quick, boilerplate comment, Axios reported.
On Tuesday, a group of Facebook investors filed a lawsuit against the company in a San Francisco federal court. The class action claims investors had suffered losses after the company disclosed that it had severed ties with Cambridge Analytica after blaming the company for "misleading" Facebook by saying it had deleted a cache of user data, when Facebook says it actually kept the data. CA has denied the allegations and said it didn't use Facebook data for its work on the 2016 Trump campaign. Investors who purchased shares of Facebook between Feb. 3, when it filed its annual report and cited security breaches and improper access to user data, and March 19, the Monday after the exposes were published, are eligible to join the lawsuit.
