Mark Zuckerberg continued his Facebook-Cambridge Analytica apology tour over the weekend, buying full-page ads in the Sunday editions of major newspapers, including the New York Times, the Washington Post and the Observer, a U.K. newspaper that Facebook allegedly threatened with a lawsuit when its reporters were about to publish a story about the data-harvesting controversy. Meanwhile, fewer than half of Americans trust Facebook to obey U.S. privacy laws, according to a Reuters/Ipso poll released yesterday; 66 percent said they trust Amazon; Google, 62 percent; Microsoft, 60 percent; and Yahoo, 47 percent. Not everyone is buying Zuckerberg’s mea culpas: Analyst Jean-Louis Gassée says the Facebook CEO must think we’re idiots. [Eric Johnson / Recode]
