If everybody I send messages to have decided to install the facebook app on their phones, then the decision is taken out of my hands. Facebook will receive and store messages that I wrote, even though Facebook and I do not have a consensual relationship.
- esoterica 7y agoAny time you communicate with someone you surrender to them the right to control what happens to that communication. This is a property of human communication that predates Facebook by millenia. If you tell secrets to someone you can’t stop them from spreading the secrets to other people. The onus is on you to vet the people you share confidential information with.
- Madmallard 7y agowhat the.... dude. lol. secrets you tell others in confidence get out if they divulge that information themselves and if that happens you may lose trust in that person. they have no idea facebook is eavesdropping intently. it is so drastically different.
- darkpuma 7y agoIf neither facebook nor the other person is disclosing to me that facebook is listening, then in two-party consent states that certainly seems to be against the spirit of the law, if not the letter.
- gridlockd 7y agoEven then, the responsibility wouldn't be on Facebook, but on the other person. Facebook can't contact you to inform you of anything before you send the message.
- gridlockd 7y agoThat's not the same as reading through your phone messages. You have to assume that any message you send out is read by any number of parties. Any e-mail you send to a Gmail account, for instance, will be processed by Google for (among other things) advertising purposes. If you don't like that, you need to employ additional measures, such as PGP.
