Linked – Facebook fired employees for stalking users

ByMike McBride May 5, 2018May 4, 2018 Reading Time: 1 minute

I know many people look at those of us who are concerned about privacy and the people who have information about us as some kind of conspiracy theorists, worrying that the government is going after us individually. I get why that can seem far fetched, but this is really why we concern ourselves with it. This has always been the more immediate risk, the random people who have access to all that information.

Facebook has fired an employee accused of abusing their position to stalk women online, and a new report alleges several former social network staffers suffered the same fate under similar circumstances.

Linked: The Third Web
ByMike McBride December 29, 2021December 29, 2021 Reading Time: 2 minutes

Here’s the thing. I’ve been around the internet, and the Web, a long time. Long enough to remember when HTML was going to “democratize” publishing and when blogging was going to “democratize journalism” and when social media was going to be the thing that finally “democratized” the Web and gave everyone a voice.

None of that proved to be true. Each and every iteration of Internet technology eventually wound up with a couple of big winners, and some sort of monopoly.
