I don't use Facebook or Twitter, so I am sitting here with a big smug self- righteous self- satisfied grin on my face. But seriously, the potential to exploit the neediness in large sections of society was always going to end in tears.

Facebook will have profited very little from the sparse information on my accounts.
I use it to keep in better contact with those friends and family far-removed from where I am.
Obviously, there are huge numbers of people who are willing to share every single aspect of their lives and thought in their head. I guess they get what they deserve....

I use Facebook occasionally and only rarely use Twitter.
It's true to say that whatever site you're on you need to think what you post and if you really want to share it.
TTT has told us where he works for example and I once posted a view from my window and someone knew immediately where I was.
It didn't matter to me but could have unnerved someone else.

Facebook don't 'own' your photos- they reserve the right to use them- quite a difference, and yes I'm perfectly happy to use both, since I always assumed that there would be data gatherings like this, it's common sense, so nothing of very much use could be used from me in the first place. My political affiliations are well known and not likely to change, so not using either is really nothing to be too smug about as long as you realise from the outset that you are part of the machine and your privacy is essentially down to your own sense. Some people seem to treat it like the inside of their car, their own little personal Kingdom, where they can sing loudly, f4rt and pick their nose in their own imagined privacy- only they seem unaware the whole world can see them.

You might put something on Facebook for your friends that you consider to be perfectly innocent . The trouble comes because your friends will be targeted and then the friends of friends and so on ad infinitum. The net cast wider and wider until in this case approx. 50 million people's information was gathered. Now lots of people are coming off Facebook but they don't realize that what they have put on in the past will stay on.
