This would probably get them fired in certain companies with responsible information policies.
> I don't expect most users see a problem because they already trust Facebook with their personal information.
Which is wrong as naive in the first place.
> And I wouldn't be surprised if users trust it more than Google, which now stands for surveillance-based advertising.
Facebook stands for social manipulation advertising. Pick your poison.

(In the UK, "working to rule" is a form of industrial action that's only a little short of a strike.) > Which is wrong as naive in the first place. Yeah, more than 1.6 billion people are naive and wrong. > Facebook stands for social manipulation advertising. Pick your poison. How does that work, then? Otherwise, there's an ethical difference between sharing information voluntarily, for their own benefit -- which people do on Facebook -- and Google's clandestine tracking, which is for Google's benefit.
