My fav Zuck quote = ‘We have a responsibility to protect your data’—spoken like a chef promising to guard your dinner while actively eating it.

I am so annoyed that I still have my FB and IG accounts active.

But I love my family more than I detest Zuck.

P.S. If anyone writes Build To Best: Cybercrime for Dummies, I’ll pre-order. Chapter 1: ‘How to Upsell Victims Like a Pro’ (with a foreword by Elizabeth Holmes).

PSS I voted.....

I can probably do the same thing next week based on 5 incredulous things he is saying in the trial.

Being on FG and Insta are hard (as is using Messenger and WhatsApp) but despite our 3 kids and partners being avowedly progressive and socially concerned they all have remained on all Meta platforms / actively use. They have a number of other behaviours that are inconsistent with their espoused beliefs. Drives me crazy.

We’ll see if you are 2 for 2 on the guess.

I have acounts on FB but I am not active there. I use IG because it’s the only way to keep in touch with friends and family back in Trinidad. At this point, it is what it is David. All platforms are the same.

I think cyber crime is massively under-reported, too. Security in many organisations seems to be like in schools - way too little too late. The "experts" are way behind the criminals. At least that's what it seemed like when a reported an attempted scam to my bank.

One of the negative trends for business organizations is their use of insurance to money-up risks and problems. Customers need to walk when a cybercrime happens and they just give cringeworthy virtue signalling .
