Facebook and Ray-Ban’s smart glasses leak before launch - Who is going to trust Facebook though?

Facebook has had a string of disasters around trust with user privacy (just think of Cambridge Analytica and WhatsApp metadata). Their philosophy has been shown to be: Cross the line as quietly as you can, and if caught, apologise, and do it later in a better way. Mark Zuckerberg has publicly made promises on live video interviews, which he has just broken years later (remember the one that "you own your data").

So sorry, but I really 'see' this as a pretty invasive frontier for Facebook. I'd rather trust some other company, and more so if it was fully open sourced, so we can examine how it works and what the safeguards are. Trust is the big issue!

[ Já esteve aqui. É tão bom que voltou ] - 2018 - [FB] -
Com saneamento precário e licenças ambientais fajutas deixando que nossos rios sejam contaminados, muitos resíduos perigosos acabam onde não deviam. Metais pesados de rejeitos da mineração, substâncias tóxicas de pilhas e baterias e novas substâncias persistentes como pesticidas e químicos industriais por tempos se acumulam em cada nível da cadeia alimentar. Esse acúmulo é chamado de BIOACUMULAÇÃO. Como a cadeia tem uma hierarquia, quem está mais alto na cadeia come, por tabela, a história que sua alimentação trouxe e a contaminação acumulada também. O vivido dentro do vivido dentro da vivido dentro do prato. Essas substâncias se acumulam progressivamente, aumentando a cada nível sua concentração. Essa ampliação é chamada de MAGNIFICAÇÃO TRÓFICA.

The Problem with Facebook and Virtual Reality

Excellent insight here from Ben Thompson: VR is a deliberate and all-consuming activity, making Facebook's Oculus acquisition puzzling, as Facebook's strength is mindless and casual usage .

Thompson goes on to say that Mark Zuckerberg doesn't understand the strength of his own company; he desperately wants Facebook to be a platform – an immersive experience that consumes your life – rather than what it is: A thing you do for a few minutes at a time in between other, more important things.

I mean, sure, people will get sucked into social media binges for hours at a time but nobody INTENDS to do that. It's procrastination. Whenever anybody opens the Facebook app (or Instagram, or Twitter), they INTEND to do it just a minute or two.

Zuckerberg doesn't understand his own company. I suspect Sheryl Sandberg might be running the whole shebang. This could result in a crisis for Facebook pretty soon.

Thompson says Apple is poised to do better with VR and augmented reality than Facebook/Oculus is. I add Google as well; they're another company that people use interstitially, but Google, unlike Facebook, understands that about itself.
