Facebook sued for allegedly scanning your private messages

Facebook sued for allegedly scanning your private messages | Social Media and its influence | Scoop.it
A class-action suit claims that the social networking site monitors and uses your messages for advertising purposes.

 

The class-action lawsuit, submitted by Arkansas lawyer Matt Campbell and Michael Hurley from Oregon on Monday at the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, says that the social networking giant monitors users' private messages in order to compile and mine data which can be used to profile web activity.

 

===> This data can then allegedly be used for profit through sales to marketers and advertisers -- who then can target ads based on the user's online behavior. <===

Social Media and SSO – What, Me Worry?

Social Media and SSO – What, Me Worry? | Social Media and its influence | Scoop.it

More and more we see social media and other application sites on the Internet providing single sign-on (SSO) as a feature or service to their visitors.

 

I’m sure you’ve visited a site and seen an invitation to logon using your Facebook or Google+ credentials. Many times, these sites also encourage you to share articles to Facebook, Google, or other sites. Amazon recently joined this trend and announced Login with Amazon for their customers to use.

 

You undoubtedly enjoy the convenience of SSO. After all, it reduces the number of different accounts and passwords that you must remember, and that’s a good thing. Right?

 

Well, it’s not quite that simple. Any time a company offers you a SSO service, remember that their primary motivation is to find some way to monetize their relationship with you, the consumer.

Gust MEES's insight:

 

It's important to note that once you post something on Facebook, or any other social network, it's no longer private, period.

 

While Facebook makes it fairly easy to control with whom you share information, the best way to keep your information private is to not post it anywhere in the first place.
