Facebook clueless

The abuse of Facebook data by Cambridge Analytica and others for political purposes is yet another example of the narrow understanding of the world by Zuckerberg and his minions.  Anyone who has studied widely, understands history and politics would have been keenly aware of the potential nefarious uses people would apply to the data access.

We have highly influential people, controlling expansive products and services who seem to know nothing, or care nothing, about how their inventions can be abused.  Their callowness cannot be explained merely by their youth.  They seem to lack even the patriotic sentiments that would motivate them to act with care. 

They should be embarrassed and alarmed by what happened in the misuse of data - and so should we.

Solutions by regulation are needed, but that won't compensate for ignorance and profound lack of fundamental care.
