Did I sell my privacy to Facebook? 2
Aug15
I’ve been railing about the fact that people keep “tagging” photos of me on Facebook I really don’t want the world to see. I have a lot of professional “friends” on the service and I’d rather they didn’t see me in beach-mode. Luckily, you can “untag” photos on other people’s profiles, but I think we all know privacy issues are bound to be far more serious. Like going swimming in sharky waters. Or smoking cigarettes. These guys made a scary movie, by simply reading out loud the terms and conditions of the site: What happens in Facebook stays in Facebook? It’s not exactly reassuring. Watch out what you post.
As scary as that movie is, and as ominous as the implications of having all this information centralised, I think in the long run, we can trust the US government to be so inefficient that they’ll never be able to collect and index such data in a meaningful way. Despite what you see in movies such as the Bourne Supremacy, the systems involved simply aren’t able to communicate well enough to be a danger.
because you know that I have dreams about this….JESUS!!!
