Zuck Apology Tour Escalates: Full Page Ads In World Papers To Say "Sorry, Won't Happen Again".

As George Bush once famously said, "fool me once, shame on - shame on you. Fool me - you can't get fooled again," and as billions of the world's zombies realize they've been spied on - and had their information trafficked (what exactly did they think made Facebook's market cap over half a trillion dollars anyway?)...


Facebook's critical aim is to counter the "you can't fool me again" #deletefacebook trend as its World Apology Tour escalates.


Facebook founder Zuckerberg took out full-page ads in numerous British and American newspapers Sunday to apologize for a "breach of trust" in the Cambridge Analytica scandal.

"This was a breach of trust, and I'm sorry we didn't do more at the time. We're now taking steps to ensure this doesn't happen again," read the ads appearing in the UK's The Observer, The Sunday Times, Mail on Sunday, Sunday Mirror, Sunday Express and Sunday Telegraph, along with American newspapers The New York Times, Washington Post and Wall Street Journal.

BBC asked Mark Zuckerberg in 2009 if Facebook would ever sell personal user data. His answer? "No! Of course not."

Zuckfuck is a great American for helping Obama win in 2012, in fact he let Obama's campaign steal more user information than they paid for.

Facebook has been collecting call history and SMS data from Android devices.

Facebook has been collecting call records and SMS data from Android devices for years. Several Twitter users have reported finding months or years of call history data in their downloadable Facebook data file. A number of Facebook users have been spooked by the recent Cambridge Analytica privacy scandal, prompting them to download all the data that Facebook stores on their account. The results have been alarming for some.

“Oh wow my deleted Facebook Zip file contains info on every single phone cellphone call and text I made for about a year,” says ‏Twitter user Mat Johnson. Another, Dylan McKay, says “somehow it has my entire call history with my partner’s mum.” Others have found a similar pattern where it appears close contacts, like family members, are the only ones tracked in Facebook’s call records.

Ars Technica reports that Facebook has been requesting access to contacts, SMS data, and call history on Android devices to improve its friend recommendation algorithm and distinguish between business contacts and your true personal friendships. Facebook appears to be gathering this data through its Messenger application, which often prompts Android users to take over as the default SMS client.
