Facebook is a Myspace-like social networking site that was originally designed to be accessible only be members of schools and universities (which was verified by .edu email addresses). It has
recently opened to the general public probably in order to become more competitive against Myspace.
In the latest news, Facebook is actively seeking buyers advertising the data they hold as being the “most valuable data in the history of the media world”.
Now let’s look at the data they hold again: tons and tons of vital information on teenagers and young college students. It’s sick, but yeah, big business would salivate to have all that data in their clutches.
The Lesson
Remember that even if the site you signed up for promises to protect your data, that doesn’t mean it always will. Privacy policies can change without notice.Tags:
