Following your metaphor, what about email between Bob and Carol which mentions Alice explicitly, using her name and email address? Should Alice be entitled to a copy of that private message between Bob and Carol?
Does information become yours if it is about you, even if you aren't a participant in it's creation or distribution?
It's easy to argue that advertising distribution lists are private conversations between FB and advertisers, and hard to argue that they're not. Saying I'm entitled to a copy of that conversation if I'm mentioned becomes a hard position to take.
- edoceo 7y agoObviously not. The cases are where parties are explicitly included: my timeline, tagged in photos, etc. Mention someone, w/o direct linkage doesn't include that communique in their dataset.
- basch 7y agoThe posted story is about exporting the list of parties who UPLOADED your contact info to facebook. An advertiser who bought a list, and presses import.
- kurthr 7y agoNo, because you weren’t party to the conversation. This seems like a pretty rugged rather than slippery slope.
- Ajedi32 7y agoSo to be clear, you agree that advertising distribution lists shouldn't be included in the takeout request? GP's point was that you're not a party to the conversation in that situation either.
- mcny 7y agoI don’t think I’m asking for much here. If I have access to it on Facebook on my profile, in my message box, or somehow associated with my profile, it should be a part of my takeout is all I’m saying. How is this controversial?
