The fact that "data made it to device maker servers" is a stupid, meaningless point. Of course it hit their servers. And it should hit their servers. It's idiot

The fact that "data made it to device maker servers" is a stupid, meaningless point. Of course it hit their servers. And it should hit their servers. It's idiots who don't know what they're writing about causing hysteria among idiot's who don't know what they're reading in order to sell advertising dollars.
And the whole time they're pointing at facebook as the corrupt ones.
- mlb_hn 8y agoI'm not sure it's meaningless. It seems to me that there is a distinction between [device manufacturer X is building their own copy of Facebook's graph by acquiring friend data] vs [device manufacturer X allows a user to login to Facebook and access friend data on their device without having to use the web browser].
- arcbyte 8y agoNobody was doing either of those things. Theres a whole plethora of innovation and social network competition and integration that happened in the 2000s. Google Friendfeed.
- rando444 8y agoI can see no reasonable need for device manufacturers to have your facebook data (and that of your friends) stored on their servers. Care to elaborate on why this data should be allowed to leave the phone? (and be allowed to be collected regardless of user's privacy settings)
