Facebook has been repeatedly ostracized for exploiting its users privacy and information. Now, Facebook has unleashed its weapon to combat those claims -- a little blue dinosaur who reminds you about your privacy settings.
Facebook released the cartoon dinosaur, dubbed "Zuckasaurus," after founder and chief Mark Zuckerberg, to educate users about updating their privacy settings, the New York Times reported. The dinosaur will use your name and state, "Sorry to interrupt. You haven't changed who can see your posts lately, so we just want to make sure you're sharing this post with the right people."
The Times mentions how other tech companies created cartoon characters, such as Microsoft's Clippy or the Twitter Fail Whale, who were "roundly mocked".
Apparently, Facebook tried out a few mascots before settling on the dinosaur. (Facebook told Press Here Friday that the dinosaur is so far nameless, which likely means the Zuckasaurus name will stick.)
