Lesson 26

The document discusses the Facebook data privacy scandal involving Cambridge Analytica collecting data from 87 million Facebook users without their consent. It relates this to Heidegger's notion of technology revealing or challenging forth, as Facebook users' data was improperly shared. Users trusted Facebook with their personal information, but it was leaked and used by other companies for targeted advertising without users' knowledge. The document questions how Facebook could be used in a way that is more consistent with Heidegger's idea of technology bringing forth ideas and connections between people.
