I know that it's unreasonable to hope that Facebook will die because of such minor nuisance, but I still hate how soothing it sounds.
Anyways, what really makes me wonder is that it's such a huge scandal right now, every newspaper does updates twice a day, society is "alert", Facebook loses 60B in capitalization over night. It's a big deal! And yet it seems there's nothing new here, nothing we didn't know a year ago. In fact, I remember hearing about Cambridge Analytica, Facebook and USA presidential elections/brexit voting a year ago from Jordan Peterson, and psychology professors aren't typically the ones to hear tech-related news first.

So what gives? Why now?
