Android users are apparently giving FaceBook the OK to go ahead and mine them for data, probably without realizing it!
LINK ONLY PER COPYRIGHT REQUIREMENTS.
Ping for your Android list.
Android users of Facebook should check your permissions very carefully.
There is a EU and USA version of Opt-In and Opt-Out
One assumes if you don’t say anything, you Opt-In.
I’m assuming that is the model they used.
FB is trying to save its company and they are in deep trouble.
Of course that is the root of the problem. Stupid People.
Nobody ever went broke underestimating the stupidity of the public.
Anyone who signs up for Facebook and DOESN’T think that Facebook is sharing every single piece of data that it collects on you is very naive. If you are upset about Facebook, disconnect from Facebook. The model doesn’t work without selling your data.
Zuckerster needs to read 18 U.S.C. §1001.
The Federal government has an orange tee shirt that will fit his metrosexual torso.
But non-Facebook-users and people living in caves should be OK.
FR POSTED——(hat tip Oldexpat) Facebook’s takeover by the Obama campaign is one thing. Does it also mean Obama’s NSA and other US intel agencies are hard-wired to F/B?
<><> what exactly did Zuckerberg do to help Obama (and Hillary) get elected?
<><>did Obama (and Hillary) get F/B users personal info?
<><> are US intel agencies in cahoots with Zuckerburg?
We MUST determine this ASAP.
ANALYSIS-—Obama’s police state ran roughshod over Americans. No doubt, he also surveilled Democrats, to get info to enforce loyalty to him......
Remember O/Care’s straight party line Dem vote? Democrats marching in lockstep, echoing Obama word-for-word?
How’d Obama do that?
Facebook is, in effect, monitoring me.
Monitoring is too polite of a word. Facebook is spying on its users. This is an outrage.
We also have to ask....
<><>did the Obama (and Hillary) campaign get any of this clandestine spying info?
<><> what exactly did Zuckerburg do to help Obama (and Hillary) get elected?
It appears that Apps exist to mine data. For example, I have temperature probe that transmits the temperature of the meat to my cell phone. Handy when you don’t want to stand by the grill. Why does this app need my location data? It won’t work unless I turn location data on.
Such "things" included people that can't spell, the SJW variant of keeping minute by minute updates of a walk/run for "charity", constant ads directed at you if you happened to mention something in a post, such as "washing machine", older relatives that suddenly discovered the hip farming game from seven years ago, etc.

They never mined mine. I never gave them my cell number.
The Apps do not function, unless you opt in.
You only think you got something for nothing

Figured that. Just another reason why I only give permissions when forced too. And, why I use ad blockers.
