The whole debacle around Cambridge Analytica and political ads on Facebook is basically the consumers saying; "Congratulations Facebook, you conquered news publishers by piggy backing my cousin's puppy pictures! Did you know I expect responsibility from publisher's? As in, when I see slanderous information slung around at near the speed of light, someone better take responsibility for it."
Their response was not ”we don’t care” to the Cambridge Analytica and political ads scandal because when they didn’t respond at all at first the public became angry and politicians threatened with regulation. That’s why Zuckerberg eventually did appear before Congress and the EU parliament.
To do otherwise is to guarantee regulation, and then Facebook would really care.
