| 1278950 | 2012-06-01 18:22:00 | Just some interesting 'facts' about Facebook that are coming to the surface on several sites . These are posted on a site to which I subscribe . All partially transcribed here:::: <snip> . . . . . . . . . . . and I just took a look recently at a patent that allows me to hold up my smart phone to a stranger on the street, and it will tell me through facial recognition if that person has a blog, a profile on a dating site, their status, etc . It’s important to know that your digital self is becoming more important than your offline self . Increasingly technologies are being designed with privacy invasion in mind . <snip> . . . . . . . . . . . . there are also concerns about people cyber-casing people who post their new engagement ring and if the photo is taken at their house, it’s easy to figure out where they are . There were 50 robberies by a New Hampshire gang that just kept track of who was on vacation according to their Facebook status updates . <snip> . . . . . . . . . You hate your boss, you hate your spouse, you talk about your sex life, your sexual orientation, your political beliefs . It’s all the stuff we routinely protect in other settings . I do think there’s a good case to be made that because of its structure Facebook is a private place, not a public place . <snip> . . . . . . . . . . . . it’s shocking to most people that now seventy-five percent of employers require their human resources officers to look at the online presence of job applicants . <snip> . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (it, the search profiles on FB) is never a context for the aggregated data . If I’m searching for an illness for a friend or relative, it’s assumed to be information about me . Then if I later go to a life insurance Web site I may be denied life insurance because it is assumed that I’m sick . <snip> . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . federal (privacy) law doesn’t apply when one party consents to providing the information . The courts say that it’s okay as long as one party has given consent . (That one party is usually the site, not the user . ) There's a lot more . DANGER Will Robbins! DANGER!!!!! |
