Facebook pop
After years of selling your data, allowing Russians and fake news to run rampant on its platform, and violating just about every privacy promise it's made, Facebook wants to give you some coffee and a little help.
According to the Evening Standard, the social media behemoth is getting all trendy and opening five "pop-up cafes" in the United Kingdom between Aug. 28 and Sept. 5. They'll serve free coffee and are meant to help UK users set up their privacy settings.
The first pop-ups will be in London, Aug. 28-29, at The Attendant coffee bar on Great Eastern Street and at Takk at 6 Tariff Street.
Facebook says it's opening the cafes, according to the Standard, because a recent poll showed over a quarter of UK users (27 percent) didn't know how to properly customize their privacy settings.

That’s why we have made customizing your privacy settings on Facebook quick and easy."
SEE ALSO: No, Facebook isn't getting rid of your secret groupIn case you forgot, some recent privacy issues Facebook has dealt with include:
Letting contractors listen to audio recordings from its users
Tooling around with user data during the F8 livestream about user privacy
Leaving data on hundreds of millionsof users exposed online
Cambridge Analytica
So, yeah, I think that warrants a few free damn lattes.
The press release also says Facebook workers will be on hand to help users tailor privacy settings for "how much information is seen by who, as well as seeing which apps and websites you’ve got connected to Facebook."
There aren't currently plans for a pop-up extravaganza in the U.S. as of now.
