Okay, let’s all settle down here with the pitchforks. It is totally reasonable for Facebook to a) sell politics are and b) want to tout their effectiveness. It is even reasonable for them to c) pull the pages down in the midst of this PR nightmare.

Facebook deserves most of what they're getting right now, but this is sensationalist media.

to add to my other comment, I in no way want to say that ride sharing is for everyone; just like driving, there's a lot of reasons why a lot of people don't want to do it. I'm just saying that ride sharing is cheap and convenient enough for a lot of people, probably even the majority of people who inhabit the newly built apartments around here, which can't be said, really, for public transit.
And if it's completely uncensored (e.g., the Bitcoin blockchain), that's child porn.

The ability to do logical deletes that will be honored by the main consumer client isn't really sufficient to deal with the problem.
MIUI has brilliant permission mechanism for older Android version. From Lollipop, it switched to iOS like permission--and so TrueCaller like apps cannot be even opened without giving permissions.
Yet another ex-FB here. When I was there I think it was possible for engineers to access pretty much anything programmatically, although the vast majority never have any reason to go near the systems that would allow them to do so. During onboarding we were basically told “If you look at any data that’s not yours, assume you will be fired”.

Everything is logged, so if you might have looked at anything you shouldn’t have, it’s flagged and you’re audited; if you didn’t have permission (from a user and/or manager) and a valid business reason, then (we were told during onboarding) you’re likely to be fired and possibly sued.

How do you sell highly targeted ads without revealing your data? How did the Obama campaign download the entire U.S. social graph in 2012, and brag about doing so, with Facebook’s approval? How did Cambridge Analytica do a comparable thing in 2016?

Facebook doesn’t sound that jealous to me.
Just updated it. I thought there might be a way to apply blockquote styling, but the traditional markdown syntax didn't work.
iOS is pretty good. The onus for dealing with rejected permissions (in many cases) is put onto the app developer.

For example, if you make a photo editing app, you need to request access to the user's photo gallery at runtime of the app.

If they refuse, it's fully expected that your app will continue to work with reduced functionality. IIRC you will have trouble getting approved for the app store if your app breaks after permissions are refused.
I'm sure they had their "permission" on page 27 of the terms of service. This isn't news...

My opinion is still that those terms of services are silly. If I ever do start my own business, one of the things on the checklist is to have a minimal, if any, terms of service, because nobody wants to waste time reading them, and 99% of what is in ToSes is in the law anyway. Except, of course, data collection beyond functional requirements. That would be a good thing to hide in long ToSes.
There's no rule that says only one person pays income tax. For example:

1) You make $20 from employment, and pay $5 income tax.
2) I sell you a sandwich for $15.

I still owe income tax for the money I made selling you a sandwich, even though you already paid tax.

You already misquoted me once and I already replied to you. Why do you ignore it and do it again? Like I said: no, I never "admitted elsewhere not knowing anything specifically about either Google or Facebook's security process". You are misquoting me again just like you already did in [1], and it's quite improper that you choose to do this when I have already responded to you and called out your misrepresentation there.

Much of this blame goes on Android and some on iOS/Apple.

The phone/call permissions, especially for Android, were needed for any app that wants to suspend when a call comes in and for analytics/social libs.

I always hated that about Android especially because even harmless games made it look like you were taking contacts and monitoring calls.

Of course this would be abused and it is all over the place. Unfortunately lots of apps/games are specifically built to harvest data and this was a major flaw in their permissions handling. You shouldn't need a monitor phone calls permission to allow a call to come in over your app while someone is using or playing it.

Need I remind you the same was said about Trump when people mentioned he might run for president? How about Reagan?

Any US-born citizen can run for president, claiming that someone in his position never will is at best wishful thinking, at worst self-delusion. As to whether he'd stand a chance mostly depends on who he'd be running against, there have been plenty of candidates where it would not be inconceivable for people to vote for him as being the least bad of the set.

Better questions are:

- What is the minimum amount of data sharing required?

- What happens when permission is denied? Does the app close?

- Do people even understand what is being shared?

- Are these click through "consent" screens really giving informed consent? Are they deceptive and biased to get users to give permission without really understanding what is going on? ("Text anyone in your phone" doesn't sound like "Continuously upload SMS and call history." Nor does a giant blue button versus no button, look like there's even an option to say no.)

- Why is this data even allowed to be shared?" (I understand that SMS and call data has neverbeen shareable on iOS.)
Mapping cherry blossom
I’m sorry, why would you want a network device that runs Node.js?
But requesting permissions as they're needed is how it works on Android too, since M (late 2015).
What’s the correct way to phrase it? I just mean there seems to be more racial friction now than say a decade ago. Not sure if there is more but it seems that way in the media.
This is exactly why I do not have any call/sms info in my FB data downloads. I read such stuff and deny the app these things.

Btw. something I am required by law here in Germany. I would need written permission of every contact in my phonebook for this upload, before uploading. Same goes for WhatApp.

I find it difficult to draw a line. Is it meaningful to build smartphones?
It seems like it should be an obvious given that just installing an FB app on your phone shouldn't hand FB a record of all your phone calls and text messages. Which is what appears to have happened on Android and nowhere else. The sensible question really is 'wtf is wrong with Android' not 'who and how is somehow managing to do this better'.

Nobody asks about cars that don't come with a face stabbing device nor writes long comparative reviews about the best car to get if you prefer not to get stabbed in the face.
Maybe. Still, I go to material.io and I don't see anything there that would make those things better.

You also have to watch out that asserting positive rights that are sometimes impossible to provide (like healthcare) will confuse people when governments attempt to claim that other, deeper rights are "impossible to give." (For example, they might try to argue that they can't afford to not torture, comparing it to how their impoverished country can't give everyone free internet.)
Facebook has a long history of employees doing sketchy shit like peeking at the profile/timeline of the new SO for their former SO. This has been one of the top threat scenarios internally for more than a decade and they have built significant security infrastructure to protect against this sort of problem. Yes, there is 'always a back door', but that back door has gotten smaller and much harder to find over the years. It is always a possibility, and while the system will prevent attempts to exfil large chunks of data for smaller breaches like this the audits/alarms will probably take a day or so before you are sitting in someone's office with HR present to have a discussion regarding your user data access patterns. So compromise the security infra you say? Yeah, there are other systems watching for that too...

-Former custodiet of the custodes
I would like to decentralize, but projects like Masterdon are not the way forward.

If you want to decentralize the servers then you MUST also decouple user accounts from the server they signed up with. Today, if you switch to Masterdon (or perhaps someone you know is running a diaspora node), everything appears to go well until a year from now when the volunteer who was providing the server loses interest or moves on, and your account/photos/journal/social network vanishes. So you start over by creating a new account with another server... tick tick tick, gone. Rinse repeat.

Centralized services don't have this problem - even myspace is still up today, meaning this killer problem isn't on our radar when we evaluate things like Masterdon, or promote it. We don't realize this is a temporary arrangement with a clock ticking down to complete account destruction.

Hubzilla is the only decentralized social media project I've encountered that tackled this problem and sort of solved it (they call it "nomadic identity"). I hear that needing an architecture able to solve this problem was why when Friendica was gaining popularity, the guy behind it realized the whole concept was a lost cause and subsequently started again with what would later be called Hubzilla.

Regardless of whether Hubzilla itself is your cup of tea, separating user accounts from volunteer run servers is necessary before centralized social networks can be challenged, otherwise you just inoculate people against ever leaving the central networks again.

(not to suggest this is the only necessary thing, or only hard nut to crack)
What can you compare that acceleration data to? Put a human on a shaker table and measure his brain damage? At some point you have to damage humans or animals to find out their limits.
I, too, was sad to see similar things with Nomad. HashiCorp really does write generally excellent software.

CopperheadOS[1] has a good permission model (compared to stock Android). Notice that they had implemented a better permission model over Android's even in older Android versions which didn't have runtime granular permissions. It proves what the ad company Google itself could have implemented in stock Android had they not been an ad company.

CyanogenMod's Privacy Guard[2] - basically a proxy that sits between the apps and the ContentProviders, and provides user-configurable "fake data" - was another good approach. Not sure if its successor LineageOS has this feature working - a search shows user complaints that it doesn't work as expected - but I hope it has retained the feature.

I feel a distro that combines both approaches would have been best. Both approaches also prove that there was no technical impediment to implementing them in stock Android.

I'm thinking 'telephone network' rather than 'newspaper'. Phone companies were built as monopolies and faced strict regulation. Imagine your phone only working for company approved topics :)

Speech was worthy of protection under the universal declaration of human rights, and these platforms are becoming so fundamental to communication that they should be given the same consideration.

These platforms have become so centralized, powerful, and ubiquitous that censorship on a platform has a greater impact than preventing a person from speaking. That kind of power should never be wielded unchecked by a private entity.

I think you make fair points, but I think this does not prove anything. CopperheadOS has a different user base than Android. A permission model that CopperheadOS users understand (e.g., CopperheadOS users are likely to be more technical) may not work for Android user base.
And, what happen if some big comp asks you to 'polish' a bit ToS, to make it more 'lawyer style', because otherwise they didn't spent additional $ 10m on you business?

Read the article and explain how they could have been worse!

For anyone with a basic appreciation of "honesty" or "ethical behaviour", it is fairly obvious that simple improvements would include:

Don't deceive the user about why the app is requesting permission.
Don't deceive the user about what you will do with the permissions.
Provide the user with an app that does what you say it does, for the purposes you say it is for.

Examples of platforms with a good model: in this context, it is well documented that Apple has been superior to Android.

On an only slightly different topic, about 15 years ago, there was a pretty healthy community of people distributing the circuit boards and accompanying software to program DirectTV smart cards. These would unlock all of the channels that "Dave was already beaming at everyone's house anyway", according to the in group parlance used to absolve oneself of such things.

A decent part of that conversation seemed to center around how it seemed highly unlikely that the whole hack was even possible without insider information leading to the development of the tool in the first place.

Fifteen years later, knowing what hacks have been at least claimed to have been pulled off through social engineering, I think the more important take away is that we need to stop portraying the worst case of hacking as a masked man executing some bond villain style hack, because it is fundamentally recommending a terrible heuristic. It by definition casts aside all of the incompetence that is equally likely to cause harm, and in the case of sheer volume, the far more likely scenario to occur.

Money flows to everyone, just more goes to those with more money. However that isn't as bad as it sounds. If you own 10% and someone owns 1%, after the money has been given out you will still have 10% and they 1%.

What? There were so many different reasons, and apathy definitely wasn't one of them. You know what was the main driving force though? Anger, anger and resentment. Germans felt treated badly after WWI, the war contributions were extremely high, people were starving, inflation was higher than in Venezuela today. These were the circumstances that shaped NSDAP. Apathy? No, many German smart people were in favor of changes at the beginning.

I simply can't understand all these Nazi analogies all around, as if people had no idea what the Weimar Republic was and all their knowledge of the interwar period is based on some Hollywood movies.
I think the depends a lot on big company vs small company.

At a small company, here are a few bullet points I find helpful/effective:

1. Lead by example: others will follow you if they believe in you. Manager has be willing to do and seen to do any and all tasks that they delegate. This does not mean that the manager has to be the best one at it or do it the most. But they should do some of those tasks that no one really wants to do.

2. Be sure to acknowledge success of others. Do this both directly and indirectly. One great way is to tell person B how good a job person A did when in a place/situation that person A can hear. This could be in passing or explicitly complimenting them in a group. Don’t do this for every single task but do do it for both large and small tasks. People want to know that their work has been acknowledged and valued.

3. Ask questions of your team. Don’t be afraid to get opinions. Don’t be afraid to not know the answer. Do be clear if you change you mind/approach if you learn new facts. If someone helps you find the answer/path acknowledge (see #2)

4. Think before you speak.

5. Share the Why not just the What.

6. Be excited about your goals. Explain where to want to go and why. You are your teams link to upper management and customers. A good team member may be able to find the path better than you if they understand the destination.

7. Don’t overwork your team. This will enable you to call on them for they extra job/extra hours the few times it is really needed. (See #1)

These are by no means the only items. But certainly some items I’ve found useful.

Note, they do not apply only to programming. They do not apply only to engineering. I think they apply to all disciplines.
