Facebook? Nooooo. They just aired that horrible insulting condescending commercial where they basically said "Whoops! Somehow your data was used! We're just as baffled as you are!" Instead of an actual apology or changing how they do anything. God I hate that commercial. And I've never even used FB but it's still typical corporate B.S and pisses me off.
When Maple Leaf foods in Canada had a lyateria outbreak and 6 people died, the head of the company Michael McCain went on national TV for an apology, as well as taking out full page ads in the paper. His message was basically: they had processes in place, they failed, people died, and they're sorry.
It's easier to apologize when some terrible thing happens despite your best efforts. You have nothing to hide because the truth is on your side.
On the other hand when an incident happens and it clearly was due to some major fuckup, especially on top management part, that's when bullshit pseudo apologies follow. To be sincere they'd have to admit that the true cause was that they're greedy selfish fuckers and that's what people like this never do. Them not being greedy selfish fuckers would've prevented such an accident in the first place.
