With so many large "crime waves", these small ripples which seem like crimes... Are they? Is MZ(read: Mark Zuckerberg) next to AC(read: Al Capone)? Does he still, in his heart of hearts, refer to his users as "stupid *f's"(as he referred to them in 2000's for "trusting" him. Nothing changed to make his users any smarter, so getting caught openly admitting how he feels did not change his opinion on his users, merely changed who he talks openly with, and the medium.

Does anyone here not consider Facebook users “stupid f*’s” for trusting him?

You could say this about any other network people take part in. The majority is always stupid from the point of view of someone above average intelligence. Does that justify exploiting them though? Are people fair game to be ripped off because they're naive or too busy with other stuff to be able to care?

I can trick a child into handing over their proverbial candy too but that doesn't make it mine to keep.
