I'm very well informed and I'm 100% ok with Facebook using whatever data I put on it.
The fact that some people choose to remain uninformed about what Facebook is doing with the data that these people willfully give them is on those people.
What is ethical in this situation is personal to you, so you can't make a blanket statement that marketing is or not ethical.
Again, to me, it's perfectly ethical, but I'm a big believer in personal responsibility.
As you said, you signed up, saw what Facebook was about and bailed.
That's called personal choice, and it's a wonderful thing.
- chrstphrknwtn 9y agoFor the well informed, such as yourself, choosing to share your data knowing that it will be sold and potentially used in ways that you won't like or agree with down the track, is indeed an informed choice. What I think is not ok, and in turn unethical, is for a company to constantly represent that privacy is a top priority, openly say in the press that data will not be sold, and then do it anyway.
