How come this is an "oh nose!" or even unexpected to anyone? Why is this even a news... I mean it's public data anyway, yeyeye FB policies blablabla
It's not like it's hacked or anything its data scraping. are you telling me the US(FBI/NSA/CIA), or foreign government China, for example, are respecting web privacy policies eh?
China has App store rating farms filled with manual labor giving people 5 stars all day, do you think creating accounts and harvesting pictures and metadata would be that hard if it was sponsored by the government?
the fact that FB linked the scrapping to a company, says it not really that much of a government operation
- throwawaymanbot 8y agoI just about stopped laughing at your line after 5 mins.. >> the fact that FB linked the scrapping to a company, says it not really that much of a government operation << What are you smoking dude?
- beart 8y agoI don't think you can take it for granted that most people who use Facebook spend time thinking about privacy issues. I also don't think it's helpful to dismiss things for being obvious - The theory of gravity comes from the 17th century but people were falling to their deaths for quite some time before that.
- Ahmed90 8y agoNot really dismissing it, but if people are too stupid to understand that if you put something in public someone will make use of it in a way or another. I believe the reason why we see this kind of news is because of the ML/AI/big data gold rush, it's finally affordable and everyone wants data so ofc they want the cheapest way and the most useful data is personal data and on and on...
