RE: Today Facebook asked me a question - Facebook knows that people feel that its existance might not be good for the world!
Right! I was very shocked with how straightforward the question was. Yeah for sure, they have plenty of data to monitor people. They actually can know a person very well just based on what the person "likes".
The biggest problem is how facebook treats its user....like property. Eliciting permission to do things that break privacy boundaries just by user agreement changes each year. Tech companies are all starting to follow there model of business and it is a complete invasion.
The usefulness if what keeps people using it but the privacy sacrifice is a great cost to pay.....more than even a monthly paid subscription.
Thanks, I found it on the search engine. I think it even has the screen name of the person who made it.
Yes definitely. I just think of how many data points they have for heavy users, log in session length, when they log in, what they like, even what they feel like at certain times, how much time they spend reading certain things, what they click on.
It's too much for something that used to be something used primarily for keeping in touch with your friends. Not that they shouldn't grow and progress of course, but the focus seems to be more on what they can use for advertising purposes.
Yeah, but not just heavy users.... all users. A lot can be predicted based off of wat someone "likes".
Yes, the sacrifice is great just to be able to keep up with friends. They should be able to grow without the sacrifice of privacy yet data mining is the money making business these days!
