Facebook Donated $200,000 to Stop Data-Privacy Measures in California to Prevent Companies Selling Private Data?

Facebook has always said “We won’t sell your data” but that is exactly what appears to have been happening, and there are new reports that say Facebook actually spent $200,000 to try and stop a data-privacy ballot initiative in California that would prevent companies from selling off user’s personal private data that Facebook was (mistakenly) trusted with.

Facebook knew they had security problems for a long time, and as early as 2017 Facebook was fined $1.5 Million over data privacy issues.

Honestly, despite Facebook’s fun time-killing reputation, I think Facebook is one of the most dangerous and evil companies out there today, which seems to have acted with impunity, despite their seemingly underhanded dealings, like allegedly providing the Obama campaign data on many millions of Americans to help him win the 2012 election, and the use/abuse of Facebook data by companies like Cambridge Analytica.

Facebook seems to say that the Cambridge Analytica scandal is basically your average everyday “data breach” but we very seriously doubt that, and think it was a crime.

Facebook needs to be highly regulated to prevent the evil alt-left Facebook masters, including Mark Zuckerberg, from weaponizing the huge amount of data they have collected on just about every American to sway elections and cause many other problems.

Facebook reportedly donated $200,000 to combat a data-privacy ballot initiative in California that would allow consumers to ban companies from sharing or selling their personal data.

According to a Monday report in CALmatters, weeks before Facebook head Mark Zuckerberg went on an apology tour and took out ads in U.S. and British newspapers over the Cambridge Analytica data-breach scandal, Facebook joined companies like Google, AT&T, Comcast, and Verizon to donate to a political group that is trying to block the California Consumer Privacy Act.

San Francisco real estate developer Alastair Mactaggart has reportedly spent $1.7 million to try to get the initiative on the ballot. The measure would reportedly force companies to allow Californians who do not want companies to sell or share their personal information to click on a “Do Not Sell My Personal Information” button on their websites.

“What we are proposing is some very basic rights: Let people find out what information companies are collecting, and let them have the ability to say, ‘Don’t sell my information,’” Mactaggart reportedly told CALmatters.

Groups opposing the initiative—like the Coalition to Protect California Jobs—are arguing that the initiative, by treating “sharing” and “selling” data the same, will disrupt “mapping apps, ride-hailing apps and email subscription services” that “all rely on sharing users’ data,” according to CALmatters. They are also claiming that the measure would send tech companies to other states that do not have such “job-crushing regulations.”
