The movie "Shawshank's Redemption" must be familiar to everyone, it is adapted from Stephen King's novel. On February 1, Stephen King announced on Twitter that he would quit Facebook because he felt that there was too much false information on Facebook and he was worried about privacy.
According to a Yahoo News report on February 5, Stephen King announced to his 5.6 million followers on Twitter that he was about to quit Facebook because he felt that Facebook’s privacy issues worried him.
He said: "I'm going to quit Facebook. The political ads on Facebook have false information, which makes me uncomfortable, and I don't think it can protect user privacy very well. If you like, please follow us on Twitter Follow me above (and Jasmine).” (Jasmine is a Corgi that Stephen raised.)
According to reports, a major violation of user privacy occurred on Facebook in 2019. Someone reported that Cambridge Analytica had obtained the personal information of 50 million users on Facebook through improper means in order to classify these users and place political advertisements targeted. After that incident, Apple's co-founder Steve Wozniak completely deleted his Facebook account.
In July 2019, Wozniak told reporters that people should no longer use Facebook because it collects user information.
Stephen King mentioned that he is not satisfied with Facebook’s political advertising strategy. According to reports, in November 2019, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg stated that Facebook would not check the authenticity of political advertising information. Zuckerberg said: "We will not do such a thing to help politicians. Because we think people should be able to analyze what politicians say. If the content is newsworthy, we will not let it off the shelves, even if it is with us Other criteria of the company will not conflict.” Facebook decided to keep political ads. Twitter is completely banned.
