While this is great, it is really about 12.5 versions too late, isn’t it? Something like a Facebook graph is already huge, and they surely don’t care quite so much if, all these years later, restraints finally come into play for new information? A far more damaging thing to these social networks would be mega-scale winnowing and chaffing: where OSes and devices basically start to lie through their teeth when apps come calling. I am more than willing to “let” Facebook think that I went to 500 places I’ve never been, and I am willing to let them think I am connected to hundreds of people that I don’t actually know. Let us, please, ruin their entire graph: take what truth they have obtained through questionable means, and pack it with garbage. Of course, Facebook would also be smart enough to put a timestamp on what they already know so you can’t just give them new garbage. Let these devices give every app and website “old” fake details, as well. For example, let them pretend that three years ago I was at a certain location, or that I was in proximity to a certain person in the year 1999. I’m not so interested in protecting current details, as I am with protecting my entire history of details.
