In Germany there were complaints about how Facebook stores and deploys User Data. Germany has told Facebook it can only continue gathering so much data about users only if it gets individuals’ consent.
Basically, Facebook combines all its services to collect data. Germany has decided that the “obligatory tick on the box” to agree to all the company’s terms was not a sufficient basis for “such intensive data processing”.
As posted before, NEVER USE your REAL NAME or Be too Open on any Social Media Platform.
It is pointless, unnecessary and what it does is serve you as lunch to all of Facebook’s nasty little money making schemes.
Facebook makes a Lot of Money by Selling Data. It sells your private information to anyone willing to pay.
If a serial killer was searching for a type, all it would have to do is pay Facebook and give it some easy story; “We are planning to introduce a special hair care product for redheads…”
and then! Lunch is Served!
This is very sad. Now we should change our names and details on social networking. . . I will think about this.
I joined FB under a nick to play Scrabble. Used the nick, a minor email account, so that no one knows who or what I am, save those people whom I have coffee with. They use their real names; which is kind of sad, as they open themselves to all sorts of scams.
