Nonsense. We decided long ago that ALL Americans have a right to enter the stores they chose, the seat they wish on the bus, the restroom facilities, the drinking fountains, the hotels/motels, airlines and so forth.Actually not.Yup! Our Freedom and Liberty requires that we keep these companies in check.What data could they collect that you did not enter yourself?No, stop projecting.Paranoia?
Seriously?
You do understand data mining and what the consequences can be to people if their computer usage could be shared/purchased and given to the government or any other entity.
Personally, I would not be surprised that Facebook was "testing the waters" by doing this.
Period - M$ and Google know every single thing you do on your computer.
Right now, at least they tell us so, that the data is placed in aggregate anonymously and used for harmless reasons to "help them help us".
Via Facebook/twitter or anyother social media app that identifies WHO YOU ARE and not just a MAC address... then it is possible for the government an other entities to know everything YOU personally do on any computer/cell phone you use. And even locate you 24 hrs. a day.
All of that is 100% doable. Easily.
Only government can pose a threat to or freedom and liberty, not private entities such as social media sites.
The concepts of freedom and liberty concern solely the relationship between government and those governed.
