Once again, with the F-b. I just can't help it: I am drawn to all the weird shit surrounding Facebook and that greedy Mr. Zuckerberg. According to this article by Brett Michael Dykes, Facebook is rolling out plans to sell user information to third parties. That's scary because people put some personal information up there. Anyone with an email address, phone number, or home address, please remove it from Facebook! As far as I can tell, there is no opt-out in the privacy settings (as if you could find the privacy settings) so the only way to prevent this is to delete your Fb account or remove any personal information from it. Reps. Edward Markey (D-Mass) and Joe Barton (R-Tex) expressed concern over Facebook's decision; the company replied that they will leave it up to the users to decide what information to provide.
Yikes. Anyone who hears about this should remove personal information from their pages, yes. But what about those others who don't hear about this? This is an invasion of privacy (not surprising given the company) and shame on that greedy Mr. Zuckerberg. Can't he just stop? Or work toward making the Fb better? Jerk.
