Facebook, that friendly social network, that handy tool to arrange get-togethers, an easy way to keep in touch! Well we should always be alive to the fact that it is a segment of the Big Brother surveillance society. It notes your ever key-push, whether you want it to be known or not. In this society there is, "virtually" no place to hid, delete it, too late, it has been recorded.
This from watchdog.net:
We spend a lot of time debating what to post on Facebook. We type out
a message, then we rewrite it. Sometimes we erase it all
together.
But the code that powers Facebook has been recording
everything we type on screen, even if we don't hit publish — and it
wants to know why we aren't sharing.
Turns out, Facebook has
been monitoring, tracking and interpreting our unposted notes,
comments and statuses this entire time, using even what we don't say
as metadata to pass on to spy agencies like the NSA or advertisers
from Groupon to Mastercard.
Choosing not to share is supposed
to be what
little still protects us from governments and corporations that can
hack our emails, bug our phones and
turn on our webcams without our knowledge.Please, join us in demanding Facebook stop logging and storing this
data, and start protecting our right not to publish!
Respect our right to remain private, and stop
storing information about what we type in drafts for Facebook
comments, notes and statuses to share with spies and sellers.
