You’re putting your life at risk, one like at a timeFacebook’s fairly recent slog into transparency reveals some rather nasty big-brother surveillance of their users.It’s always been a given that a service provider who does not directly charge customers can only pay the bills and employees if they’re being subsidized, either by the government, advertising or leasing access to their clients’ information.The more information the service provider has, the more they can charge their own clients for access to that information.There’s really nothing new to this. Grocery stores, insurance companies and retailers of all sorts have been collecting such information for ages.What’s new is having two billion active monthly users willingly or unwittingly handing over their most personal data and that of their children to one site that then sells the information to thousands of businesses.Facebook even tracks you across third-party websites, which a California judge decided is legal because you should know they do this and you should do more to keep your browsing histories private.Will the next Judge decide we should all be able to decipher and rewrite algorithms ourselves?All of this worries some people, like a listener to my radio program who quit Facebook after he posted a couple of pictures from a car show he attended. Almost immediately, Facebook posted pictures from his friends in his own timeline featuring the friends’ pictures.This is a great feature for advertisers and a lousy one for you.
