Why do you suggest one can “opt out” of facebook?
They profile non-members and encourage users to disclose personal data of non-members by installing apps or helping them to “find my friends” based on sharing such data (e.g. address books). #1 and #2 apply to facebook as well. We might find out about #3.
- hailk 9y agoHow do they profile non-members or even people who've either deactivated their accounts or aren't using them? If I don't log in how does invites affect me? All they could possibly have is my phone number and email. Which aren't exactly private information anyway.

- hailk 9y agoAs I mentioned, i don't think we can consider phone number and email address as private data. Everything we use, track those. It also mentions that it was a bug and not intentional. Iphone has leaked far worse things. People seem unfazed when a newer model comes out.
