RE: Facebook, When a Train Crash is No Accident
Oh!
The more technology grows and billions of individual personal data is just within reach, then one would expect these kind of happenings. Its already happening, it has happened and will continue to, this recent case of facebook is just one out of many that maybe had gone unnoticed but had mind boggling results.
Anyway, Mark is going to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee about Facebook's role in using data (personal data at that) from about 50million Americans for political advertising and manipulation of voters.
So lets see how it goes. The battle for our privacy is far from over though.
Oh is he? He didn't want to testify before, and refuse the British Parliament when they asked him to testify about a similar campaign that ran in Britain.
I'm glad they forced him to testify, though I doubt there will be any consequences.. At least this backlash is making down step down a little.
There were planning to start recording via the phone microphones compile that data, and probably sell it.

You're very right though, the battle for our privacy is far from over.
Well, lets see what comes out of it.
But atleast more people know now that some game is always up with their data.
That's true, at least now we know :)
