Can #Facebook legally delete relevant documents and emails while under FTC investigation? #DeleteFacebook

Can #Facebook legally delete relevant documents and emails while under FTC investigation? #DeleteFacebook

Saw this quote in the NY Times article: Many [Facebook employees] are also concerned over what might leak next and are deleting old comments or messages that might come across as controversial or newsworthy, they said. Is that legal? I have worked at a company that was under investigation for a time and we had strict document and email retention policies in effect for many months. These actions by employees could be a further black eye on SpyBook.

#Facebook is a “tight knit” cult with propaganda posters lining the offices #DeleteFacebook

It was a tight-knit cult convinced of its mission to connect everyone, but with the discipline of a military unit where everyone knew loose lips sink ships. Motivational posters with bold corporate slogans dotted its offices, rallying the troops. Employees were happy to be evangelists.

The 11 year history of #Zuckerberg lying about #Facebook privacy #DeleteFacebook

Worth reading. Long history of abusing their user community, failing to truthfully disclose what they were doing, and lying about it. Repeatedly. Over and over and over again for more than a decade. Zuckerberg will tweak a few things until he’s caught next time. Source: Promises, promises: Facebook’s history with privacy – ABC News

Loss of Trust in #Facebook may have far ranging consequences to e-commerce and advertisers #DeleteFacebook

Loss of Trust in #Facebook may have far ranging consequences to e-commerce and advertisers #DeleteFacebook

The loss of trust is not just to Facebook but to all things “e-based”. How many of us are now using browser features to hide from trackers? How many of us are disabling permissions on smart phone apps – or uninstalling the apps? How many of us are resetting online privacy settings? How many of us are removing online content? The impacts of Facebook’s surveillance operation may be far ranging. Facebook is losing credibility with its users and that may…
