I opened a Facebook about one year ago. The information they had on me was rather disturbing.
I never gave Facebook permission, directly or implied, to track my circle of past friends or make assumptions about my personal interests.
- ttoinou 8y agoPermission was implied when you sent your data to them. Website you visit send you webpages that your browser parse and connect to every tracking widgets present in the html. If you don't like it, configure better your browser.
- Fnoord 8y ago"Implied"? That's not how opt-in works, sorry.
- ttoinou 8y agoYOUR computer sends your data. YOU let it do that. If you don't want your computer to do it, don't surf internet or configure your browser / install extensions
- Fnoord 8y agoThat's not how opt-in or JavaScript works together with law. If a hostile website serves hostile JavaScript code, it won't be "it was your computer who ran it"; THEY served it. The standard experience will need to adhere to privacy laws. GLHF with GDPR in 2 weeks :)
- ttoinou 8y agoYour message makes me think that if there's a responsibility involved in theses issues, websites that have tracker widgets obviously shares a part of it
- dizzystar 8y agoMy circle of past friends was captured from their phones, not mine. How is this me opting in to their service?
