Facebook expands its blood-donation tool to the entire US
Previously only available to people in NY, Chicago, Washington DC, Baltimore, + San Francisco
Hospitals, blood banks, + Red Cross will all be able to put out requests for blood using the feature

Since Halloween is near, Facebook is now turning into a vampire. Lean in because Facebook “wants to suck your blood!”
Actually, there is a shortage of blood donations throughout the United States of America, so Facebook is now making access easier for people to donate their blood within the USA. Facebook has created a blood donation tool on its website.
On the site, a person that wants to donate blood would click on this tool that is located in the Tools area. After a person sends their information, Facebook would then connect that person with local hospitals or a local chapter of the American Red Cross in order to schedule an appointment for blood donation. Obviously, I would not participate on this blood donation tool because I do not want to add my blood type to the information that Facebook has gathered about me.
Another scenario that has popped up with this blood donation tool has already become a problem in India. The tool has become a conduit for a black market for blood donations in India. In the blood donation tool in India, people can request to have blood donated to them. As a result, people would then sell their own blood to those needing blood.
A positive thing to do, as long as there is nothing to abuse certain specific interests.
Probably would get a increasage if they offered money, but they’d have to screen some of these people out.
just like those nimrods who take genetic tests- they are paying people to mine and sell their most personal data
Facebook should mine this site and fix it instead of messing with personal data.
they’d screw it up worse, because that’s the fb business model
I always keep track of what information I post on websites and social networks. We never know when anyone will use it
That’s a very good idea so that nobody tries to steal information.
