Elon Musk was asked to delete his platforms "SpaceX" and "Tesla" on Facebook "if you are the man!". And he did within 37 minutes after the tweet. Many millions of followers find now a page 404.
WOW - the worth of FB is on a steep path down...

Wealth built on sand - one would say!*

*but why Zuckerberg sold such a lot shares of his company right at the beginning of the scandal?

In fact my post was sort of imprecise: FB/WU were logging all calls with date/time, dito SMS - all with MetaData...
but if I see such behind the scenes collecting - then I must assume that the contents were flowing also with

Thanks - I heard about metadata collection, which is one thing - but recording actual content (i.e. actual calls and text messages) would put FB in the NSA/PRISM category - I don't believe FB would even have the capability to do that, let alone the legal ramifications.

Well said @xplorer
In fact FB is publishing zillions of new posts and advertising every day.
Why is/WAS there no thread / official information about the collecting activities of those scammers?
Does one need to read the AGB in detail to even not find a hint what they are doing with one Client's Data?
Even a user wants to shut down all his activity there he is "guided" lol to the "pause action" where FB
can use the collected data for the future...
Questions over questions.
Legal action though will get off now really fast - in some countries with dramatic fines.
We will hopefully see how bad the FB guys will show themselves at the legal hearing in Berlin / Germany tomorrow.
Will let you know.

FB total loss since the scandal sums up to $ 70 billion (in just 2 weeks).

This is the equivalent of the total worth of German carmaker VW...

The higher the climbing the steeper the fall.
