RE: Facebook will not sell your data, according to a 2009 video interview of Mark Zuckerberg

in #promo-steem7 years ago (edited)

What a jerk. It amuses me that the government is investigating Silicon Valley for breaking their users privacy not long after Snowden showed that the government is too. Facewhat is centralized government’s puppet. It’s hard to deny the number of people who signed up on his site and stay clueless about what they do with the data they share so freely. It seems like it should be common sense that when a service is “free” and they flourish financially that they are selling your data for profit. The masses don’t like to think about stuff like that though since they want the most popular things to be innocent benevolent. It makes it an easier pill to swallow if you go along with the lie. Google got (gets) the same “can do no wrong” treatment and only in recent years have people started waking up to that issue as well. Let’s be honest here what Google does makes Facebook look like an amateur playing catch up. Never been fan of Facewhat and never had an account!

I really like the following quote: If the product is free to you "you" are the product. Not sure who came up with it first but the point is nicely summarized in this way.
