"Facebook gets its revenue from ads"
It is interesting to think about today's big tech companies and how they make a majority of their money.
Facebook, Google, and Twitter = advertising.
Microsoft = software.
Apple = hardware.
Of the three companies who make most of their money from advertising, Twitter seems to be the most ethical, although going public might change that (Facebook is creating profiles of non-Facebook users and it wouldn't surprise me at all to find out that Google is creating profiles of people who email Gmail users but don't have Google accounts).
- bookface 13y agoWhat makes you believe that Twitter isn't doing that? If you're willing to speculate that Google is creating "shadow profiles", why not Twitter?
- RexRollman 13y agoThey may well be doing it, but at this time, I have heard nothing to suggest it. Google, however, is getting shadier by the minute.
