Hey, thanks for inviting me to check this out, when you commented on my article over at (Mark Zuckerberg, Congress, Competition and The User) --- I can see why what I wrote may have got your attention. As I am not on the side of blaming Mark entirely for this issue. So much of the blame goes on users for what they decide to share on these networks -- but -- the problem of tracking people, compiling databases about people - is not limited to facebook. Our phones, televisions, smartcars, and etc are all enabled with devices to let 3rd parties know what we're up to. FB is just one of several places where information harvesting is going on. It goes back to the Patriot Act, after 9/11 as we were more than willing to give up more privacy - to keep us safe from the Al Quedas ....................
That's an interesting point. I actually just read an article of businesses being hacked through the Internet connected thermostat. Anything with Internet connection is now vulnerable.
