United Kingdom 04/19/2019 11:47 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Re: Facebook uploaded email contacts of 1.5m users without consent *unintentionally* in the past couple of years, so many of these corporations have had a whoops moment with their users data that IMO it's deliberate & psychological softening of the masses to accept having having no privacy. |
