Facebook’s Platforms

April 13, 2010

I was one of the early user of Facebook.  I was glad to find a quality-type social network that was more selective, organized and privacy protected.  However, as it started growing and as the case points out they started using our data for other purposes, such as provide to advertisers and to other third-party users.  I surprised when the case said with Facebook Connect they will transfer a lot of user’s personal information to third-party sites, and with the agreements in place (Facebook with third-party companies), these third-party companies can keep the user’s Facebook ID number and main photo indefinitely.  Couldn’t they copy this info and keep it! Wow!
