A new report shows that Facebook’s “Trending News” section, which was accused of censoring conservative news, was managed by a staff full of liberal employees.
So… an organization whose entire purpose is for everybody to poke their nose into everyone else business, and the fact that it’s full of liberals is news?
Who you vote for doesn’t matter as much as who counts your vote. Same applies to any activity that undertakes to determine what people want for themselves.
…Let alone that Facebook, Google, etc. track more of their user’s locations, internet history, purchases, contacts, etc. than Americans believe law enforcement should be allowed to be provided in order to track terrorists.,but which they willingly allow to be collected by a private company who sells all of this information in order to make billions of dollars..
To be fair, the upshot of private companies snagging my personal info is that I end up getting more coupons for things I actually want to buy.
Even you must admit that’s not the only upshot.
One has no idea what other viewing-and-posting profiles are being created based on your page viewing and posting history.
Nor to whom those coupons are offered.
Sadly, I know what the reply to this complaint is: “That’s the price you pay for being on the internet.” Doesn’t make me like it.
Well, I readily admit I get a little skeeved out when strangers start asking for personal info they don’t need to complete the transacting of our commerce
In court, it’ll be referred to as Prima Faciebook.
