Trends are important to consumers and to hackers (I'm one of both), that's the purpose of the question and a huge one that matters.

Assuming you work in technology, you really know and work with middle aged people who are not aware of the terms selfie and Twitter?
It is valuable to the company you're giving it to since they get paid by the advertising. They also get money from their partners who we so graciously agree to allow them to "share" it with which happens to be for profit for them.
>> The data is a means to an end, which is showing you relevant ads. >> If everyone stopped using Facebook tomorrow, the value of all the information Facebook has gathered would be negligible.
They can still sell your information to whomever they want which means even in your scenario they would still be making tons of money, I'm guessing here, hundreds of millions IMHO. So your arguments are not correct.
That is worrisome, someone could build a portable station to hijack people's phones, do some phishing then move on to another location.

Love Fox News but they also did not broadcast the debates on TV either recently and my wife is sure they are reducing the clips on Roku. Fox need to get their act together and stop being so greedy.
We get ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox, PBS and CW and several Spanish stations if we spoke that language.
We miss Fox News and CNN but catch their clips on Roku or on the web.
For movies, Netflix, M-GO and Google Play.
We may buy some sort of DVR, not sure yet.
Edit: I used smile.amazon.com so money is contributed to my charity, the American Heart Association.
"People often confuse "breaking" with some overt act used to gain entry, like kicking in or prying open a door or window. But as Tiger noted, "breaking" refers to the violation of the "plane" which constitutes the natural boundary of things like walls, doorways, or window openings - so even reaching THROUGH a threshold or imaginary "plane", such as an open window where the natural continuation of the wall (or even car door) would constitute the plane broken by the reaching."
So how can we even trust the browser if native apps are always less secure according to you?
The exploit ran despite the sandbox if I understood it right.
