Millions of people uses Facebook but most of them never read the privacy policy of this website. I am not even talking of all the stupid application that attached to it. Just read the privacy policy and RUN away from there.
Facebook is the most popular website today. Millions of users that never ever read the privacy policy of this website. Facebbok is another social network with plenty of stupid useless application, but it doesn't matter as long as people would like to play stupid games. What does matter is the privacy policy:
Taken from Facebook Privacy policy – Read carefuly !
We collect information about you
"When you use Facebook, you may set up your personal profile, form relationships, send messages, perform searches and queries, form groups, set up events, add applications, and transmit information through various channels. We collect this information so that we can provide you the service and offer personalised features."
It doesn't matter what you want to do you cannot delete anything
"When you update information, we usually keep a backup copy of the prior version for a reasonable period of time to enable reversion to the prior version of that information."
We have lousy security and everyone can see anything you put on Facebook
"… we cannot and do not guarantee that user content you post on the site will not be viewed by unauthorised persons. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the site. You understand and acknowledge that, even after removal, copies of user content may remain viewable in cached and archived pages or if other users have copied or stored your user content."
You are not safe from us ANYWHERE not only on Facebook
"Facebook may also collect information about you from other sources, such as newspapers, blogs, instant messaging services, and other users of the Facebook service through the operation of the service (eg, photo tags) in order to provide you with more useful information and a more personalised experience."
We can send you e-mails even if you said you don't want to
"Facebook reserves the right to send you notices about your account even if you opt out of all voluntary email notifications."
We are Amercian therefore any government agency can have your information
"By using Facebook, you are consenting to have your personal data transferred to and processed in the United States … We may be required to disclose user information pursuant to lawful requests, such as subpoenas or court orders, or in compliance with applicable laws. We do not reveal information until we have a good faith belief that an information request by law enforcement or private litigants meets applicable legal standards. Additionally, we may share account or other information when we believe it is necessary to comply with law, to protect our interests or property, to prevent fraud or other illegal activity perpetrated through the Facebook service or using the Facebook name, or to prevent imminent bodily harm. This may include sharing information with other companies, lawyers, agents or government agencies."
Now think again, do you really want to be a Facebook user ? do you really want to expose yourself to anyone, including the American government ? Do you really want to risk your privacy in return to a bunch of stupid application ?
No ? i thought so…
