But they are not producing a newspaper with customized ads. They are showing you photos your friends took at the party last weekend. Photos that are shared with you and not with their boss.
- chandelier 5y agoIf I am consenting to share with the researchers via Ad Observer the data that Facebook has shared with me, whatever that data is, great. I signed no NDA with Facebook.

- Spivak 5y agoI wish there was an official name for the fallacy of assuming that a given activity done at any scale are equivalent. You sharing screenshots from your Facebook and an add-on automatically slurping data from millions of people's Facebooks are not at all the same thing. They both might be okay to do but the reason for the latter is because it would be okay to do the former.
