And? (Score: 0) by Anonymous Coward on 2014-07-07 00:02 (#2C0) Am I the only one who approves of what they did? Of COURSE their users are fodder for whatever data experiment Facebook deems fit. What the devil did people think the arrangement was about when they were stupid enough to record their real names, relationships, and activities on somebody else's web site? It's GOOD that FB is trying to be intelligent about how they milk the base. Do you want your keepers to be stupid? FB owes its users nothing, and good for the users if they ever manage to figure that out. Their accounts exist for only one purpose, to make money for Zuck and shareholders. Schmucks. Re: And?

It's not always such a bad thing because while you may not feel empathy for them, it's probably best not to reward companies for exploiting others. Because you might end up being their next target.

If people want to introduce legislation on how companies mine their own data, let them do so. For now, simply exposing FB as an evil festering pile of dung us sufficient.
