“Your data security has been accidentally strengthened.”

That is a sentence you never hear in Tech.

This last week Facebook once again had to report a massive data breach.

As you will recall, Facebook revealed that 50 million user accounts that had been hacked, making users profiles visible to the hacker. (It is worth remembering that the Cambridge Analytica scandal was not a “hack” and the Russian “hack” was not a hack at all, but just Putin’s puppets using the platform to advertize).

Luckily for Facebook the confirmation struggle of Judge Brett Kavanaugh pushed everything off the front pages.

Luck because this is the worse management of a crisis in modern business history. One is increasingly getting the impression that privacy breeches are not a bug in Facebook’s business model, they are Facebook’s business model. While else do they seem unable to fix them?
