The Washington Post has a retrospective on 14 years of Mark Zuckerberg saying sorry, not sorry:

From the moment the Facebook founder entered the public eye in 2003 for creating a Harvard student hot-or-not rating site, he's been apologizing. So we collected this abbreviated history of his public mea culpas.

    You are wrong.
    Customers hand Facebook money : ads and data people
    Consumers use the service.

    Except that Facebook's "users" are not users, but useds. They are used by Facebook.

      Why do you say "except" ?
      It was already true in TV and radio : customers access the consumers via the service; the service uses its consumers to make a profit. News at 11.

        Because people who allow themselves to be used by Facebook are better described as "useds", "suckers", or some other such term.
