You do realize this all happened three years ago, right?
- I just highlighted that aspect of our privacy being violated, (didnt read the date) but there's a lot more.moldero

- your stuck on just that story huh, lolmoldero

- Seriously, didn't you read your own links? It was resolved years ago.monospaced
- read above and http://www.facebook.…moldero
- theres more dude, thats if you care about that shite, if not move along.moldero
- I'm just sayin the truth man. They totally make it possible to opt out of everything in the settings. It's up to you.monospaced
- you gotta read the fine print on that "opt out" stuff dude. its understandable if you dont, who has time for that crapmoldero
- but I have a fam, in a rough part of the world (outside the US bubble), so I'm a bit paranoid about that sort of thing.moldero

All is not lost:
"Facebook's new system for connecting together the web seems to have a serious privacy hole, a web developer has discovered.
Some people report that they are able to see the public "events" that Facebook users have said they will attend – even if they person is not a "friend" on the social network."

"As part of a class action settlement, Facebook terminated Beacon. Facebook was also required by a court order to notify its users of the settlement. Facebook set up a $6 million[citation needed] fund to establish an independent non-profit foundation that will identify and fund projects and initiatives that promote the cause of online privacy, safety, and security. Facebook also set up a website about the lawsuit, http://www.beaconclasssettlement…. Under the contingency fee arrangement with the plaintiffs, the law firms that filed the case would get a fee, likely to be $3–$4 million, but the average Facebook user would receive no monetary award. Facebook notified its users about the court order."

why is this privacy thing such a big deal anyways,
you should be aware that whatever you post online can AND WILL be seen by other people, so pretending to be upset because your profile gallery named "Check out how trashed I got at the office party" might be seen by colleges.If you are sort concern about these issues you shouldn't be posting shit online anyways.

it has little to do with your specific life or targeted adverts. facebook collects everything and processes everything no matter what and shares the processed info with marketers and the cia etc they make billions this way. Zuckerburg is making billions with datamining.
- if worried about this, you have a choice to terminate your accountMeeklo
- so facebook gets to cohort with CIA and make billions with private data and i should turn my backDodecahedron

He's not making billions, Facebook operated in the red for most of its existence and just last year began turning a profit.
Not sayin you're wrong about the overall model, but it's also nothing to be afraid of, that's how advertising works on the web. Ever notice how ads in Gmail match the messages you send?
- zukerburg is worth like 4 billion and again its more than adverts we're talking aboutDodecahedron
- i am talking about anywayDodecahedron
- That's based on the valuation of the company, not off any profits they are making off dataminingukit

As it grows, Facebook is working more closely with CIA and govt surveillance systems -- http://social.venturebeat.com/20… -- but whattaya gonna do
- ukit0
But what does that really mean? People always assume there's some ominous motive behind these things, when at the end of the day companies just want to sell ads and the government probably just wants better intelligence on terrorists and possibly bringing down a child predator or two in a Chris Hansen style sting operation.
The government already has so much info on all of us that knowing what album we're listening to this week or which girl we scored with last weekend is pretty trivial, assuming they gave a shit about you to begin with:D
- i couldnt agree more, what do we, the average joe, have to actually hide? except CALLESwhereRI
- Exactly. Other than CALLES, very little.ukit
- "What do we have to hide" - by revealing everything, you're allowing yourself to be owned.lukus_W
- meh who cares, owned how exactly?whereRI
- All the stuff on my Facebook is something I would share with anyone. So how am I being owned?404NotFound
