Facebook, the optionless betrayal by data collection?

While Google and Microsoft have their technical motives to collect your private stuffs for advertisement purposes, you can pretty much turn those features off like they have already promised over the users’ raging concerns. However, it seems that Facebook is starting to become the next betrayal for sure. Right now, we don’t know if there’s a way to turn off that technical motive Facebook is going to have against its users.

So when it comes to data collection, it seems that your mouse movements are Facebook’s first victim but we still have some more months before Facebook will eventually betray us technically. So if you mouse over a link or perhaps an ad, you’re pretty much spied.

And at the moment, it seems that Facebook is collecting two types of data from its members such as demographic and behavioral. Demographic is all about you, your location, y our school, your workplace, etc while behavioral is all about your friends, your likes of posts and other stuffs, etc. This is all absolutely BULLSHIT for the users as if the lawsuits against the spying agencies have been LIES!

Lastly, the new datacenter is likely to be coming soon in March next year so we don’t know if this kind of technical betrayal will arrive on that day.
