Feel free to give them away to whomever you like but don&#39;t be surprised if it backfires. <p> With every new day and new news about Facebook I&#39;m happy I&#39;m not &quot;in&quot;. If you just google for my name you can get a lot of information. And I know this will stay forever. Yes I&#39;m unimportant and nobody but maybe one or two cares. That&#39;s fine with me. But I write what I think and &quot;reveal&quot; what I want and what I decide. </p> <p> With Facebook I know all my data are in access to Facebook, who am I to know to whom they give access even if I would not agree? I simply do not know. Facebook needs desperately new sources of income. There stocks still are hell of expensive, and they must earn much more to get just near somewhat rational regions. So If they&#39;d earn 10 billions one might things that 90 billions are &quot;fair&quot; priced, But So what else but your data should drive it&#39;s profits. </p> <p> If you feel Facebook offers something to you then fine use it, but I for my part have decided that I want mine to stay mine. I do not want even more advertisements in my mail box, nor do I like to get stuffed with it every day, every click. In Germany the biggest advisor for debt handling Schufa have announced to start collecting user information on facebook for their credit rankings. How would you like that? I can just say, I&#39;m not amused. </p> <p> And within 5 years I&#39;m sure you state agencies will put pressure on Facebook to get hands on our data. Of course all for the greater goog of the american state. And they will tell, those who do not have anything to hide can simply disclose that information. Well I guess they will do it even more &quot;subtle&quot;. I bet Facebook will find a way to provide them with your data. Backdoors, hacker attacks, viruses, trojan horse, I don&#39;t doubt it a second that NSA should be able to crack accounts in the hundreds of thousands if they are inclined and told to do so. Your data? Not if you give them away that freely..... </p><div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://mises.org/community/aggbug.aspx?PostID=474253" width="1" height="1">civil rightsliesaccidentswardeledefs1984betraybelievingout-of-controldamn liesbad ideaorganized plunderpromisesbig governmentwill they keep their freedomone could not know?Facebookterrorismdata securityfight against terrorismprivacyDatacredit rankingthe transparent user
