In order to connect to this company that lives by social media, I have to give them permission "to access [my] public profile, friend list, email address and News Feed."
What could possibly go wrong?
- rhizome 13y agoWhy hasn't anybody whistleblown the value of that kind of information? I'm sure it has a monthly or annual price and it may even be written down somewhere.
- nwh 13y agoStartup idea! Allow us access to your Facebook and Twitter, we'll pay you $2 a month for the privilege.
- neilk 13y agoRapleaf charges pennies for it, in bulk. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/05/14/personal-data-advertisers_n_861829.html http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/05/14/personal-data-adver... I don't know what it would be worth it if you were targeting a specific person.
- rhizome 13y agoI think you misunderstand their pricing structure (as portrayed in the story). It's a penny or more per attribute, per person. How many items would the abovementioned FB profile access garner per Rapleaf? From my experience in market research and by looking at the linked price sheet, it doesn't appear that Rapleaf supplies PII.
