[dba-Tech] Not for the paranoid

[Jim Lawrence]

Hi Gustav:

It seems a little excessive but we sort of knew that, didn't we? The article is pointing out the obvious and it seems the FB also collects data we might not consider important. Facebook doesn't like anyone else scrapping and using the data that FB is collecting...it could be used for nefarious reasons like what Cambridge Analitica did. Of course, FB has it all, legally and could do far worse and we just have to trust that they wouldn't.

Is it true that Europe has introduced personal rights protection laws?

Hi all

Unless you are a robot - and Facebook knows that already - the Facebook monster it truly scary.
It is some power of ten worse than you had ever imagined:
