Everyone does but smart folks don’t connect their cyber existence with their real world one. Google knows all about a guy with a name I use. But they don’t know it’s me.

Z’berg will be testifying in front of Congress.
Wednesday, lawmakers in Washington had said Facebook’s chief executive, Mark Zuckerberg, would testify before the House Energy and Commerce Committee on April 11 about the company’s handling of sensitive user data.
He is also expected to appear before at least one Senate committee next week.
Or knowing what someone I don’t really care about is doing this exact minute? Then the next? Then the next?
You’ve got me figured out, for sure…

The husband has an account which I use sometimes, but mostly to check on relatives who don’t use a phone anymore but do tell 700,000,000 people that they had a caffe latte at lunch. And also post updates on the feral cats they’ve adopted.

I think we can clearly see that the bad guy here is Amazon.

Yep
Still, sad part is our personal data is flung about in so many places, who knows who has what. Staying a social media luddite is not guarantee. (Looking at you Equifax)

What about everyone one that has an account? Maybe not to CA, but I bet to others.
And Amazon is at the border right now, ready to cross and take over the country?
heh heh me too

This is serious dressup. He wears the same thing everyday. Grey t-shirt, jeans, it’s his Z’brg “I’m rich but I want to blend in” outfit.

It seemed to have been done without explicit consent, though Facebook says it collected such data only from Android users who specifically allowed it to do so — for instance, by agreeing to permissions when installing Facebook.
Right, and this permission that users supposedly gave wasn’t just like all the other utterly ubiquitous “allow permissions” dialogs that need to be clicked when installing apps, right? And it gave details about exactly what they were agreeing to? This wasn’t just some “allow access to your contacts” permission that so many apps ask for?
I doubt it. And even if it was very obvious exactly what permissions were being given, people still wouldn’t notice. We’re habituated to clicking “OK”, after all.
No, something like this needs to be off by default and burried down in an options menu somewhere so deep that only people who really want it would be able to turn it on. Of course, since no one in their right mind would want it, facebook wouldn’t be able to collect the data, and that would make them sad. Can’t have that.

I hope I’m on the list. It would be interesting to see how much facebook knows about me.
Also remember, that asshole threatened to sue The Guardian when the paper exposed him the other day. Just the other fuckin’ day.
I repeat what I said last night… I am sooooo hoping that morally bankrupt fraud will also go bankrupt financially.
