If you care about your privacy you shouldn't be using facebook. Kind of insane that people need the government to make these decisions for them.

- jarfil 8y agoIt's an enforcement of individual decision, not a decision replacing users' ones. If I want to use Facebook to some extent but stop them from selling all my data to everyone, I may need something more than just their word to make sure they respect my decision.
- offbytwo 8y ago> If I want to use Facebook to some extent but stop them from selling all my data to everyone This is an unrealistic expectation. You signed a legal contract when you signed up for an account stating that you're a-okay with them using your data.
- ibotty 8y agoPoint is, that within the EU some practices just are not allowed. If they happen to obey the law is something else of course.
- y_molodtsov 8y agoI hope you understand that Facebook doesn’t sell your data to anyone. It sells targeting capabilities.

- hedora 8y agoI don’t use Facebook, but I have enough of an account to see what they have on me, and occasionally login to lock it down / delete crap. The last time I logged in, I found that the following have uploaded information about me to Facebook’s ad targeter: * my car’s manufacturer * charities I donated to * political campaigns (red and blue) * some of my banks * random pop music groups I have never heard of (thanks, spotify(?)) * my preferred pizza delivery company and at least three dozen others. As far as I can tell, this behavior will soon be illegal in Europe.
