>>For all we know, the difference between google and facebook here is simply maturity of the company
Facebook is not some new company struggling to find its way in the world. It's huge.
Nor is it new. Google was started in 1998; Facebook in 2004. So Google is 15 and Facebook is 9.
Is that such a big difference? Has Google ever behaved the way Facebook has?
Facebook has faced multiple privacy scandals. It has not said, "whoops, that was an oversight, we'll ensure it never happens again." It has said "meh," and waited for people to get over it.
This is not about maturity, this is about philosophy and character. Facebook's business model is about harvesting and exploiting your data. They are doing that deliberately, and they're more likely to go out of business than to change.
