Why Facebook Won't Stop Invading Your Privacy

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the up-and-to-the-right dept.

GMGruman writes "Every few weeks, it seems, Facebook is caught again violating users' privacy. A code error there, rogue business partners there. The truth, as InfoWorld's Bill Snyder explains, is that Facebook will keep on violating your privacy, no matter what its policies say, what promises it makes, or how shocked it claims to be at the latest incident. The reason is simple: Selling personal information on its users is how it makes money, and Facebook is above all a business."

    My posts aren't supposed to be public. They are supposed to private, just between me and my 5,000 closest friends.

    FB cares about privacy in the same way that McDonald's cares about nutrition.
