Feeding this data to Facebook, a company already known to perform unethical psychological experiments on users without consent, is beyond stupid. If the people behind this are aware of Facebook's history and practices, I'd consid

A few months ago they changed their app so that iOS users no longer had the "only while using" option for location access, and announced plans to stalk users even after their rides had ended.

I'm leaning towards picking up an iPhone next, just to show some support for the solid pro-privacy stance Apple has taken in recent times. Uber isn't going to be happy with this at all, and that's a great thing.

Glad to see a player big enough to cause some damage taking this up. At this point, anything that harms Facebook/Google and those trying to mimic their data collection tactics should be considered good for the web and internet.

It really does seem that these people have lists of power grabbing desires ready and waiting for the next attack. I imagine this woman's first private reaction to the news of this attack was not sadness or concern for the victims, but

The portrayal of governments as "good guys" has always seemed pretty absurd to me. The reality of it is that they're just the other bad guys, with slightly different but still ultimately self-serving goals. When "collat

I wouldn't be at all surprised if that was true, particularly given Google's incredibly close relationship and revolving door with the government. I haven't read The Silicon Jungle, but I might have to do that now.

I think they figure that those who fell for "don't be evil" outnumber those of us who saw through it from the start.

The continuing repetition of this PR catch phrase by Google fans as "proof" that Google is benevolent is mindblowing to me.

Your "fake account" isn't fooling Facebook if you're adding all of your real friends to it.. Nor is your fake information.

Facebook and Google both have differing "public and private stances" on issues like mass surveillance and net neutrality.

The only thing Zuckerberg was on to was someone else's idea that he took for himself.

Facebook's zero rating programs are being implemented to discourage these people from ever finding out that Facebook isn't "the internet". They even went as far as to use the name "internet.org".

If Zuckerberg has his way, the base of those tentacles might soon reside at the very core of the US government. If that doesn't scare you, it should.

Google doesn't like being Googled. Remember what happened when some journalists Googled Eric Schmidt? http://money.cnn.com/2005/08/05/technology/google_cnet/

Are you really trying to imply that poor little Google is being bullied here?

Google is a strong proponent of privacy, for Google.

From my experiences with friends who worked or work at Google, you could fit in just as well by being a mediocre programmer or graphic designer who really enjoyed kool-aid. The terms "Googley" and "Googler" quickly becam

Unless you remember every conversation you've ever had on one of their services word for word, they also know more about you than you do.

The thought that Mark Zuckerberg might one day run for president, and actually have a chance, is absolutely terrifying to me. If this happens, kiss the concept of personal privacy goodbye forever.

I never really understood the Google worship. "Don't be evil" was an ingenious PR move which earned them an army of useful idiots willing to defend their every move, but never actually applied internally as far as I could te

Nobody was implying that the Measures for Justice project wasn't useful. I was only questioning Zuckerberg's motives for supporting it, and the media giving him credit.

If you want to be 10x, you need at least 10 stackoverflow tabs open to copy and paste from. I've always assumed people talking about having hundreds of tabs open just don't understand how to properly use a browser. My grandmother
