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."

    Well, quite, but I don't think "duh" really captures it.

    Duuh. Duuuuh. Duuuuuh DUUUUUUUUUUUH!

    For extra points, add "spazz face". I mean, really, this is a "Bakers secretly intend to continue turning flour into bread" level revelation.

  2. Fecebook is free by digitaldc · · Score: 0, Redundant

    If you don't like Fecebook invading your privacy, don't join...seems rather harsh but that is the only rationalization I can see Mark Zuckerberg coming up with at this point.
