It gets real interesting around the 1:50 mark. By popular request:

1. Facebook Admits Year-long Data Breach Exposed 6 Million Users

(Reuters) - Facebook Inc has inadvertently exposed 6 million users' phone numbers and email addresses to unauthorized viewers over the past year, the world's largest social networking company disclosed late Friday.

Facebook blamed the data leaks, which began in 2012, on a technical glitch in its massive archive of contact information collected from its 1.1 billion users worldwide. As a result of the glitch, Facebook users who downloaded contact data for their list of friends obtained additional information that they were not supposed to have.

Facebook's security team was alerted to the bug last week and fixed it within 24 hours. But Facebook did not publicly acknowledge the bug until Friday afternoon, when it published an "important message" on its blog explaining the issue.

A Facebook spokesman said the delay was due to company procedure stipulating that regulators and affected users be notified before making a public announcement.

8. Boy, this realy makes me think

If I thought not being on FaceBook would solve the problem, I would be hectoring everyone to do it, but I have a feeling the th spy state goes much much much deeper than that. We still have only seen the tip of the iceberg, methinks.

11. You're right to be suspicious of course.....

...which is why I choose not to make it easier for them and would never consider joining Facebook nor any website like it.

Instead of us spending our precious resources protecting ourselves from real and/or imagined enemies, what if we took the money spent on all the godforsaken electronic shit and build schools, feed children, help farmers to grow crops better, build a health clinic in a rural area.

- This shit is ridiculous. Every leader in the world should be FIRED for dereliction of duty and a failure to be HUMAN.
