1) don't use FB to read the news. What about reading actual reputable journals, right at the source, and becoming more knowledgeable about complex issues in all spheres of life like educated, rational human beings instead of gossiping among FB "friends" by sharing posts from some shady FB pages. Instead of being driven by irrationality and prejudice, pick up a book (or any online article) about the history of your own country and others around you; learn the culture, history, sociopolitical issues of the day and enlighten yourself with facts from reputable sources, all a few Google searches away, before doing things like voting and engaging in productive debates that can infuse your communities with fruitful knowledge and novel ideas. 2) What about just using FB to actually stay connected and carry meaningful social interactions with people you actually know instead of having like 1000's of "friends" and showcasing your entire life to the whole world. Use those online interactions to actually enrich your real life relationships, professional networking, and overall social skills. 3) Don't feel so entitled to services and LEARN what you're signing in for. READ FB privacy agreement and pay attention to your FB privacy settings more carefully, including what you share with 3rd part apps. You have full control over what you post and what info each app collects, beginning by actually taking the decision and applying restrain over what YOU share in FB. I know it takes time to go over your privacy settings, but it's your responsibility to do so; FB can't do it for you; they can only make it easier for you to access those settings, which in my opinion they have done pretty well (i.e. constant reminders to become informed about your current privacy settings and making the settings pages easier to read/understand). I agree that illegal data mining like the ones done by Cambridge Analytica without users consent should absolutely be stopped, although, those are rather exceptional cases. I would say far more pervasive and ubiquitous instances of data privacy breach are those carried out, unlawfully, by the NSA and many other U.S.A. federal agencies (and other foreign government agencies such as British and Russian intelligence agencies, just to name a few) WITHOUT people's consent, gathering far more private data in unscrupulous ways. There are ACTUAL PEOPLE working in such agencies right now that have nearly unlimited access to such personal data that isn't just being automatically collected by some algorithm (and then used for benign targeted ad displays like Google ads) and then just sitting in some server storage drive undisturbed.
Just trying to bring some perspective to the matter.
People literally downloaded Kogan's app and took his personality quiz. Kogan then sold the data he had to Cambridge Analytica who used it for their own purposes. Sure, FB made a mistake in not doing more to investigate whether Cambridge Analytica deleted the data but I don't think FB should be getting this much fire because people negligently ignore the terms of service and aren't cautious. This is no one's fault in truth because no one knew how the data would be used. I think FB is being used as a scapegoat and it's just pitiful to watch people blame a tool for their own faultiness.
Today it is Facebook, tomorrow it might be Google as well. All these companies are thriving on users information in exchange with their free services. Why do think they are free?
Facebook doing this isn't a big deal. Google, YouTube, Twitter, etc., they all track your every move, comment, like, videowatvhed, posts, etc. Google Maps told me that I visited a Taco Bell 15 miles from my house 4 years ago. It told me where I came from, the route I took and how long it took me to get there.
Once a bit (literally what I mean) [00 || 01] is uploaded to internet . . . It stays forever even if you delete it. Old deleted codes I wrote and uploaded on github are still somewhere roaming on Internet . . .
Does anyone really even care that this happened? So this company acquired data that we all put on a public website, and used that information for politics? Who is really upset about this...
You have no privacy on the internet. There's never been privacy. A hacker can know where do you live, your bank account and what are you doing lately. Even the government can use your information to their advent.
Hey zukarberg, I appreciate that u admit what you did, in India, politician make corruption, and don't even admit, they only shirks saying its opposition gimmick,
This things happened to me tho I cant see what happening in the real world one person costomize my account and controlling what I have to see this weird app taking advantages to the person who doesnt know how internet works..
Deleting Facebook isn't even a solution. There are other apps that you use on a daily basis and it does the same thing. They all provide APIs for devs to work with their data. It's just that Facebook got unlucky first.
Facebook probably did worse. Perhaps facebook is even connected to NSA and CIA and... public's not gonna know. But hey, im just a crazy Tinfoil conspiracy theorist right?!
I can assure you every major company is connected together somehow as a hive mind collecting everyones info. If anything, theres even banks of supercomputers that build your personality on every single person who uses internet.
I couldn't laugh any harder about this. I've NEVER opened a personal facebook account and never understood why so many idiots would give out so much information about themselves ONLINE!!!!! Told you.....
Anyone have the wright to deliver this message.. "Samsung is allowing Facebook to gather dat from their phone by preinstalling 3 apps 1 is Facebook and 2 hidden files that cannot be deleted no matter what you do, and apps will reinstall themselves after deleting them, those 2 hidden apps are : 1 file name "Face" 2 file name Facebook manager" and they gather data without your knowledge or awareness... Plz investigate and spread the word...
Sounds to me like people are trying to blame facebook for Trump winning. Leave Zuckerberg alone. Its advertising. Its so obvious they use your history to advertise. Here on Google. If I watch a video on a subject I get ads non-stop on that subject. Why not target Google. And it seems like Cambridge Analytica is the shady one. People dont go after that becomes there is no name recognition. Its social justice warriors at it again trying to always tear down somebody for the sake of it. As for Facebook being addicting. That is the users fault. We dont sue Budwiser for being addictive yet look at how damaging it is. You have to take responsibility for your own life and stop blaming others for spending those extra hours on facebook. Nobody forced you. Also the goal of anything is to make you want it. Youtube wants you to be one youtube for as long as possible. Thats just business.
I believe people knew that facebook collects personal data for ads purposes a long time ago, but why such a big fuss about it now, and not before? I am actually really looking to hear some insights from you guys to help me with this.
THANK YOU !! This is exactly what I was looking for

ReplyDeleteIt’s only obvious when you like a certain brand . You see who else likes it .. so it shows the taste of “like minded people “ ....

ReplyDeleteA VPN-Server protects your data. It is really easy and you are surfing anonymously by hiding your IP-address.
ReplyDeleteDo you plan to delete Facebook?
