I'm curious, would anyone surprised by FB actions mind describing how you expected FB to act with what specific data, and how FB actions deviated from that expectation?
I was under the impression that most people fully expect (even if they disdain) free web services vacuuming any and all user data for advertising profit.
Is this data selling/ad targeting a surprise, or rather is it just finally enough to make you leave or get upset even though you knew that was the business model all along?
Also, are you quitting other web services that operate ad based, data driven revenue models like Google, Reddit, Twitter, etc?
This is a genuine question not a sarcastic comment.
- sixothree 9y agoIt is completely obvious that many people did not understand the extents to which facebook accumulates data. I don't think anyone in this thread even has actual knowledge to the full extent. It is even harder for most people to understand the implications of even small amounts of data collection.
