A week ago, Mark Zuckerberg, CEO, of Facebook, an American social media giant, was almost perfect. Today, for Zuckerberg and his Facebook, it has been pushed into the abyss of "death-to-death"-information "leaks" that have outraged users, and the Federal Trade Commission may impose a $2 trillion fine on it. Ex-employee whistleblowers such as the black market are now being investigated by Israel's Justice Department.

Israel's Ministry of Justice announced Thursday that it is investigating Facebook to see if it has violated the privacy of Israeli citizens, according to foreign media reports. The Israeli Ministry of Justice said in a statement that the investigation would focus on "whether the personal data of Israeli citizens have been illegally used" and that, if the answer is yes, Facebook would violate the right to privacy of Israeli citizens. In violation of Israel's privacy law.
Also Thursday, a former Facebook employee revealed that the company lacked effective management of third-party developers' use of data and incidents of secret collection of user information by third-party developers.
When asked what means Facebook uses to control the use of data by outside developers, Sandy Palagillas, a former Facebook operations manager from 2011 to 2012, responded: "not at all. Once the data is left on the Facebook server, the company has no control over what third-party developers do with the data. " He also said Facebook's data was passed on to outside developers, making the platform even a bit like a black market. He was disappointed that the company had failed to do so after he reported the issue to management.
In addition, recent media reports said it could violate the 2011 settlement order, with the Federal Trade Commission's ongoing investigation, which would impose fines of up to $2 trillion and Facebook's total market capitalisation of just $488.5 billion.
In addition to the United States Federal Trade Commission, it is reported that the Office of the British Information Commissioner, the European Union, the United States Congressional Intelligence Committee, the Commercial Committee and the Judicial Committee, as well as the German government, have announced successively the investigation into the Facebook "disclosure door" incident. Or issue a summons order to the relevant person.
In addition, Facebook shares plummeted on the 19th and 20th, losing nearly $50 billion in market capitalisation for two days. In fact, since the scandal was revealed, Facebook has been falling in a row, and even Wall Street, which had previously disapproved of the incident, has lost its breath as things go on. From "generally optimistic about the Facebook advertising business" to "cut the price of the stock." On Wednesday, the Bundesbank, Credit Suisse, Cowen and Co.,Evercore ISI and other institutions began to cut the target price of Facebook shares. Nordic United Bank, the region's largest bank, announced on Wednesday that Facebook would no longer be allowed to buy shares in its sustainable investment arm.
All of this comes from Facebook's revelations of a "leak door." on March 15, New York Times and the Guardian reported that Cambridge Analytics (Cambridge Analytica), a UK-based data analytics firm, has acquired data from Facebook for 50 million users to build analytical models to accurately push information, or even fake information, to influence the choice of users. Helped Trump win the 2016 presidential election. The news was subsequently confirmed by Facebook.
In this context, foreign media have pointed out that "Zuckerberg quit, now is the best chance!" For a moment, the wall fell and all the negative news came, pushing Zuckerberg and his Facebook into the abyss of "death." Until then, Zuckerberg's image had almost always been perfect.
First of all, he is a successful person in his career. Zuckerberg is the fifth-richest man in the world, with a fortune of $71 billion, according to Forbes' 2018 list of billionaires released March 6, US time.
At the same time, he is also a charity who is passionate about public welfare. According to regulatory documents, in the month of February this year, Zuckerberg sold nearly $500 million in the company ' s stock, which was mainly funded by its own charitable investment institutions. Previously, the US media "Charity Chronicle" released the "Charity 50" report, in which Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chen, ranked second on this year's charitable donation list, they went to their own foundations and others. Charitable funds donated $2 billion.
In addition, he is a good family man. "he is the representative of the father of the new century," the New Yorker once said of Zuckerberg. "not only does he succeed in his career, but he also takes family happiness as his purpose of life." Even he himself, in a speech at North Carolina State University, said, "in fact, compared to Facebook, the joy and happiness of my life comes from my family!"
Zuckerberg loves children as well as his wife. After nine years of love and marriage, Zuckerberg still regards his wife as his favorite. No matter where he goes, Zuckerberg goes no matter where he goes, when the public points out that "from any point of view, it's hard to call his wife Xiao Chen a beauty." With his wife in and out, eyes are unable to hide the love.
I have to say, this "leak door" for Zuckerberg and Facebook this is a difficult time. In the future, PUBG, or must die, we need to wait and see.
