Title: Want to know what Facebook REALLY knows about you?
Post by: Samdy Gray on Friday, September 30, 2011, 16:57:53
As if you didn't know about the amount of data farming that was already going on, this is just the stuff they admit to holding.

The complaints page also shows stuff that Facebook are doing with your data that you probably didn't know about, like harvesting your data from other users (e.g. if they sync contacts on their phone). And all of you who like to "check in" everywhere you go; Facebook are building up a pretty accurate picture of your movements.

Heard on the local radio this week, house burglars use facebook to monitor people's movements and holidays etc.

Facebook and Google both make my blood boil.

I like the way that on that link they say your account is deleted after 14 days. Is. It. Fuck. I closed mine months and months ago and accidentally logged in the other day and caused it to go live again. It's harder to close/deactivate now as well. Cunts.
