OK, maybe I do have something against Facebook

Filed Under me so g33ky, tout le fromage 

I’m sure bits of this are alarmist, but even the minor data mining is a little spooky.

Really considering deleting my account with Facebook now.

    That clip is scarey as Hell. It like reading a sci-fi novel about some of the steps to take to end all privacy–and how easy it is. I keep my trips above the radar as limited as possible, but I’m sure “they” know more about me than I’d like.

    @Mom: Yeah, it’s interesting how easy it is to lure people into a trust situation. I may not have anything to hide from the government or my bank or anyone else of authority, but I sure as hell don’t want my personal data bought and sold to the highest bidders. That’s where it goes wrong for me.

    It’s rather ironic that I came across a link to this on facebook of all places.

    @Chase - Welcome to my blog!
    Yup, I get a lot of referral links from the inside. ;)
