    I was one of the earliest adopters of Facebook, and also seemingly one of the earliest to bail out.

    When the Cambridge Analytical scandal broke?

    Nuked my entire account, at least, according to Facebook, who I’m totally sure doesn’t just still have their own archive of me, because how the fuck would I know?

    Basically everyone I knew thought I was literally insane for doing that at that time… I connected the dots and realized the true extent of what they could be, and we now know they were and are doing … because I worked with databases and data analytics.

    But nope, everyone thought I was nuts, and slept walked into the social apocalypse.

    All you need to know about Facebook:

    Zuck: yea so if you ever need info about anyone at harvard

    Zuck: just ask

    Zuck: i have over 4000 emails, pictures, addresses, sns

    Friend: what!? how’d you manage that one?

    Zuck: people just submitted it

    Zuck: i don’t know why

    Zuck: they “trust me”

    Zuck: dumb fucks
