That just doesn't make sense.
I'm happy that FB is more stringent on this since guardian isn't exactly great either.
- cronix 5y agoNot what I said. Did your friends and family give you specific permission to give FB their private contact info, which FB uses to associate private relationships whether they are on FB or not and track people across the web? Nothing to do with Cambridge or anyone else I didn't mention.
- ergocoder 5y agoSo, your comment has nothing to do with the current topic them? Yeah, a lot of people give that permission. It is in the user agreement. Not that I agree with wide user agreement, but I'm sure user agreement covers that part, arguably. Yes, arguably, your friends are rightfully allowed to share your private info like phone numbers and photos. Because they have access to those information. Not that I agree with it, it is just the current state we live in.

- ergocoder 5y agoWhy did they choose to run it on a shady newspaper though? There are at least 10 other more credible newspapers to choose from.
