Facebook is again taking a dig at your privacy. With the ever changing privacy policies, the manager of privacy and public policies at Facebook, Mr. Matt Scutari literally mocks the privacy of users to a certain extent. In fact, the manager of privacy and public policies at Facebook even condemn the privacy lovers by stating that Facebook does not even consider the option of privacy of its users for themselves. Facebook considers that there is absolutely no sense in allowing the users to hide stuff from Facebook.

...

According to a statement by Mr. Matt Scutari, the manager of privacy and public policies at Facebook, at a conference on digital privacy in Palo Alto, California, the users who are so much into privacy and its issues should not share such stuffs at all. In addition, he stated that there are no such online applications that does not store any private and important data that you have.

So “Privacy” to Facebook is like “Affordable” to Nancy Pelosi.

"People who use Zuckbook have rocks for brains."

I agree. People don’t understand that they “pay” to use Zuckbook by giving up their privacy.

Narcissists don’t want privacy anyway. So there’s really no problem here.

Am researching this as a response to FB. So far, looks like it may be a winner.

My FB page (which you need to read OTHER people’s pages) consists of a variation of my RL name and that is it.

People who willingly supply more information than that are nuts!

From your link...
“Facebook is not really a social network at all. It’s an advertising platform. The advertiser is the customer, and the user is the product that is being bought and sold. “

And that goes for any ‘free’ network: television, radio; including their ‘news’ departments.
“the user is the product that is being bought and sold.”

There's a saying "If you're not paying for it, you're not the customer. You're the product being sold". The way Facebook makes its money is by selling info about Facebook users. Facebook makes its money from data mining its users. You expect "privacy" from facebook?

If you want it to be private then don’t put it on Facebook. Simple. Doesn’t mean you can’t use Facebook. Just use your head.

>>Lots of freezers are on<<

I don’t know that term except where to store food and dead bodies.

[discostu]

He’s right. Anything I don’t want in public stays off FB, it’s never been told my phone number, my address, or my birthday. No “check ins” or anything similar. They can’t share what they don’t know.
