Mark Zuckerberg Has Had a Terrible Week

First on Sunday, whistleblower Frances Haugen went on national tv and accused that Facebook prioritizes profit over user safety, and then on Monday, a networking problem brought down services used by more than 2.75 billion people.  These issues highlight the risks faced by countries that rely on the services for communication.

These issues most certainly will force political leaders to try and impose new laws that will curb the ability of powerful social media platforms, such as Facebook.  The new laws will address browser privacy settings, which will directly impact the digital marketing ecosystem.  Companies will face financial and resource strains to support marketers as they continue to track and target customers.  Security is necessary to maintain privacy, and for many companies, it is about keeping customer data, intellectual property, employee information and many other data sets secure.  Is Mark’s bad week going to turn into months and years?
