I am so sick of the Facebook bullying.
"you give up a serious slice of your privacy thanks to the omnivorous way companies like Google and Facebook gather your personal data."
Ooooh scary! Hardly. Nobody can search for me on Facebook... or view my profile without being friends. Yes, they have my info in a database somewhere. Info I gave them.
- frozenport 12y agoThey also have the shit I said about you, which they can treat as fact. Now imagine if we start using this data for job applications, it's a slippery slope of missed opportunities and Scarlet Letter ostracism that we should work to avoid. What is harmless today can set a president in the future, and a liability that we have no reason to accept.
- zyx321 12y agoYes, they have the info you give them. And info that others give them about you. And info that they gather from you without your knowledge. And whatever they can infer from the aforementioned info. Which they will save forever. Good thing you've seen the future and know with 100% confidence that they will never abuse this data. Or sell it to someone who will abuse it. Or get acquired by the selfsame. Or hire someone with a personal vendetta against you.
- dreamdu5t 12y agoYou're the one who purports to know the future - worrying about what you think Facebook might do with your data, instead of what they actually do with it.
