That's not true. They insert tracking cookies on sites without logins or get your data via a friend signing up and then importing contacts.

what social media site does not have a log in screen?

You're being tracked on this site by Google right now. Did you authorize that? You're tracked via scripts on the sites, not by logging in.

me thing called the browser act is being pushed that will ensure the US Gov has regulatory control over online services.

I guess we forget that when you sign up for a free service and have to agree to their terms you are agreeing to play by their rules. If their rules say that anything you post on their service becomes their property, then everything you post belongs to them. You don't want to give ownership of your cat pictures to little Markie.....don't post them to facebook where the terms of service say it belongs to them. The fact that you didn't read and understand the terms, doesn't change the fact that you agreed to them and are therefore bound by them.[/quote]

Agry[/quote]I don't think this covers the breadth of problems. They're also collecting data on user who haven't accepted their terms. Google is a worse offender here as Google Analytics is in every major and mid site. All the ones that want to be found at least.[/quote]

no, if you are on a social media site you have accepted their terms, if you do not then you are not on the site. of course nobody reads them[/quote]That's not true. They insert tracking cookies on sites without logins or get your data via a friend signing up and then importing contacts.[/quote]

I can't even remember if Dave had that boilerplate legal about the site when I signed up, i am guessing he does. I don't care though, I know all my stuff is already out there somewhere. I am sure i am on some gov. list for my conservative views

Doesn't matter.

You guys would be amazed by the reports that come out of FB for the advertisers. We have a signup for a waitlist for a new product and advertise for it on FB. The reports they give you are a amazing. They tell you the income ranges, geographies and interests of people who engage with your ad. They provide metrics to advertisers that are pretty incredible really. When Shmuckenberg says “We sell ads”, he isn’t kidding.

I honestly think this privacy thing is something the media cares more about than the public. The newspapers are probably just pissed that he took all their ad revenue.

That's an important distinction for thinking about Facebook/Google which is different from any other large company that I can think of. In order to potentially regulate, including anti-trust which has been discussed here, that should be the focal point. Maybe consumers should own their data and purchase content.

Except for Diggity. He once had his identity stolen and the thieves tried to give it back.

my point was if social media tries to morph into a subscription model it will go the way of the buggy whip. People are not going to pay to use facebook or snapchat
