Do you trust Facebook or Mark Zuckerberg when he says they have a responsibility to protect people’s data yet they lobby hard against it ?

The businesses are fighting an initiative proposed by San Francisco real estate developer Alastair Mactaggart, who’s already spent $1.7 million on a measure that would allow Californians to prohibit companies from selling or sharing their personal data. His campaign is gathering signatures with the goal of landing the California Consumer Privacy Act on the November ballot.
“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,’” said Mactaggart
Though Zuckerberg said on national television that Facebook has a “basic responsibility to protect people’s data,” his company has worked with other internet giants to beat back numerous efforts to increase consumer privacy. They lobbied against federal legislation last year that would have required tech companies to obtain customers’ permission before selling their data to advertisers. And they lobbied against a bill in the California legislature that would have required internet service providers to get permission from customers before selling or sharing information about their browsing history.

Facebook being the biggest of course is getting the most attention right now .
Facebook also makes money on advertising, games, etc. not just the mining and selling of our data.
Yes, indeed they do. And they allow advertisers to advertise to their specific target audience which they develop through more data mining.
