Given that the posts can be from folks that work in the company Facebook would be trading stocks for, that would count as insider trading.

- arielweisberg 11y agoThat's if you use insider information. That's only one kind of signal that Facebook has access to. There are signals that aren't based on insider information that FB could legally trade on. Information that other people don't have access to isn't by definition insider information. It's just stuff others can't or haven't figured out.

- ikeboy 11y agoAs long as they agreed to let Facebook use the data by signing up, then no, it's not insider trading.
