I don't expect anything to Facebook when it comes to privacy.
- gcb0 10y agojust because you shrug it off, doesn't mean they are above the law.
- braythwayt 10y agoWell, there are several levels of non-privacy to expect: - Facebook collects data about me - Facebook shares my data with big corporations who want to sell me stuff - Facebook shares my data with my friends - Facebook shares my data with people who aren't my friends For many people, this is a surprising escalation of their expectations. For some, it is outright dangerous.
- m0v_eax 10y agoBecause people expect services as robust and useful as Facebook to be free? Based on how much time people spend using their service, the user's data is hardly a large price to pay. Have certain types of things you like, profession, education, gender, demographic and expect your profile able to be targeted (anonymously) with advertising. Share something public (including anything above), expect any corporation to be able to see or mine it.
- Natanael_L 10y agoAnd how do you explain shadow profiles?
- braythwayt 10y agoI think your comment is in line with mine. Many people think they are making a trade-off: The use of the service in exchange for data that corporations can mine. Some even consider this a win-win, as they believe that they will receive advertising for things they may actually want to buy. However, not everybody expects the data to be shared with other users of the service. This is why I suggested that this may be an unexpected escalation of expectations. Facebook is quite transparent about sharing your data with advertisers. It is less transparent about sharing your data with other individuals.
