Disgusting

So, at the personal level, you have to decide if the benefits of connecting to your friends is worth giving away your privacy to FB and other tech giants. Are you OK with them using your personal information to sell you something. My problem with it is they kept it a secret for so many years, while getting rich. Don’t we hate being taken advantage of? Companies won’t respond to individuals. They will react on trends caused by public outcry. Make your decision...

Like or not this is the new reality. We as free people need to hold our government and the tech industry accountable for the breach of trust and neglect to privacy these firm practice to gain market share.

I'm actually getting tired of the media and politicians being "shocked" about the use of and marketing of data by Facebook and ALL the other social media apps and outlets.? We share personal information / photos / dark secrets / videos / credit information daily.? All these companies just use tools and their programs to aggregate / monetize and sell your data. Get used to it!!

All I will say on this matter is that we are all being watched whether we believe it or not. There is a movie called person of Interest,if you watch this movie you will understand this is nothing new.

To disseminate these private messages to a seemingly harmless network like amazon or Netflix does seem to me just a way to launder data. After it changed hands several times it could be sold for seriously nefarious reasons with the perception of relevant metadata being specific and innocently portrayed as “cookie” like.

Why I’ve never been a fan of social media. It would appear to me that a majority of the data these “business partners” had access to could be used to fuel “outbound marketing” - meaning push ads and other information to you based on habits, comments, websites referenced etc., all while you were “communicating” with your friends. This is the same reason I disable Apple’s Siri, Microsoft’s Cortana and won’t allow listening devices such as Amazon’s Alexa or Google Home into my home - they are always on, always listening and always collecting information. As one gentlemen I sat next to on a plane recently was explaining to me the next level of “outbound marketing” he said: “those in-home listening devices could be the greatest marketing tool ever invented.” I don’t know, call me old-fashioned, but I’d still like to have some sense of privacy especially in my home. But once you knowingly, or in this case it would appear unknowingly, share personal information on the web, it’s there to stay and frankly as demonstrated by this article, be exploited.

If measures are not taken to protect one's privacy the word privacy will fade from the dictionary. It is bad enough that security breaches occur and modest measures are applied to both parties, but to have open agreements on sharing a person's unsanctioned communications is dispicable.

I wasn't finished, I feel as if I had someone looking over my shoulder for years now just taking notes, pictures, and really personal information and feelings. If I knew how, there's gotta be a way to slap a lawsuit for this. They probably know more about ourselves than we do. I feel extremely violated!
