I’ve been really thinking about a Facebook friend’s earlier post, saying she feels exposed by having 822 friends and will start deleting some in order to get more privacy. I just had to reply to the privacy issue and afterwards, realized that my assertions needed to be backed up by reliable data. “I must say,” I commented to my friend, “I find it strange that you would play a game on Facebook or post anything here and voice concerns about privacy,” and followed that with my first information point: “Facebook sells your data to game creators – this is a well-known fact.”
Privacy? Completely blown now, with the spy in your pocket
Spying on private citizens has reached the point of cannot be either tolerated or ignored one day longer. We need to keep our attention on this particular ball for longer than the America public’s typical 5 minute attention span. We need to address this issue with vigor and comprehension, because the sum of our civil rights are on the line with this intrusion on our privacy.
