Members Faulkner Posted March 19, 2018 Members Share Posted March 19, 2018 I see the security head just resigned from Facebook. They’re having nearly as bad of a week as Trump. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted March 19, 2018 Members Share Posted March 19, 2018 That's troubling, but Stamos is also likely quitting because he tweeted last week (now deleted) defending FB's conduct re: Cambridge Analytica in the past and said their data steal was not a "breach" because it was technically legal. He was roasted for those tweets, today he's gone. More background on all this: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted March 19, 2018 Members Share Posted March 19, 2018 Wow. Just...wow. So, just how much hot water is FB in right now? Because, my head is spinning so much that I don't think I'm processing everything as well as I should. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DramatistDreamer Posted March 20, 2018 Members Share Posted March 20, 2018 (edited) That article, sadly is of no surprise to me. I remember a study done about a decade ago and the findings stated that the lighter the shade of one's skin, it was equivalent to akin to having an extra year of education, such was the high regard for a lighter complexion. The closer to white your skin, the higher the paycheck. Also, we also know that blacks get worse mortgage rates than whites, regardless of credit, finances. Studies have shown a white person with the same credit rating/history and income as a black person and the black person was still steered toward a more disadvantageous terms in their loan package.
