That's exactly what I wanted to say. Talk about the fox guarding the hen house... none of these parties--Facebook included--can be trusted with any data. They're all out to make a buck with it!
It's not even that though. If someone is reselling your companies data to a third party without authorization, you put both the company and it's key people on the persona non grata list. Large well run corporations and a lot of smaller companies have black lists like that and they use them.
No point in sharing dinner.
If you've decided to share your info with Facebook, well, that's on you. But Facebook isn't going to share it.
There can't be a single repository of online data, which by design gives the repository owner too much power and control. Blaming the users for falling for it is like saying we can't have regulation because markets can self-regulate themselves.
After the last 3 years, anyone who defends Facebook comes across as disingenuous, naive or for a lack of a better word, a shill in my book.
Saying Facebook wants to protects your personal information is the most hypocritical statement, I've heard yet.
So much for protecting your personal info. That is why such a stink is being made about this story.
