- pyre 14y agoWhat about the companies that secretly collect information from you, but are not visible because they are included as JS/cookies/whatever on other sites?
- rwmj 14y agoWhat about my friends who upload and tag my photo on Facebook?
- sanswork 14y agoIf you weren't doing business with Facebook how would they be able to tag you?
- Turing_Machine 14y agoUnless they've changed it recently, it's possible to use any name as a tag regardless of whether that individual is on Facebook. I know this because pictures of long-dead relatives posted by family members are tagged.
- patrickg 14y agoPerhaps not so much about tagging the photo, but a) uploading a photo of me or b) giving facebook my email address (yes, thats common practice).
- res0nat0r 14y agoThat is your friends passing your info along without your consent, not Facebook breaking the law.
- patrickg 14y agoIn case of the email address: I think facebook is violating german law by storing my personal information which I'd consider private. (I am not sure if they still do that.)
