how is all of this data that is being sold being used in such a way that it has been made such a big thing?
Well Facebook tracks not only what you do on facebook, but off of facebook and also on your phone. Facebook knows who you call, how long you talk, and probably what you talk about. They have all of the information in direct messages unless you happen to be Mark Zuckerberg in which case he's of the "protected class" so he's not subject to the rules of the peasants.
really, so they are tracking things outside of facebook then, as in if someone with facebook calls me then they will have my number on record?
so they aren't just monitoring people who sign up for it but also people who have purposely avoided it?
I knew facebook was powerful but surely that can't be right, fuck me if anybody ever phoned me then I'd be inclined to sue the cunts myself.
I've just checked my phone and I have got a facebook app on it (must have been on the phone when I bought it) but I don't have an account, does that mean that they are collecting data off me or do you need a live account for them to get hold of you?
Its actually pretty fucking sinister isn't it, I thought it was just a case of people not realizing what they signed up for, one of the videos I watched posed the question of whether the terms and conditions were purposely made so long purely because they knew it would stop people from actually reading it before they signed up.
