Facebook has gone too far
They read your text messages. What else are they doing that are in the “fine print” of their privacy statements. These things should show up in our news feeds BEFORE they start doing it. We all should have the right to OPT IN if our personal text messages are being used for some product. Honestly what is the purpose of reading Text Messages, Really?
A COMPANIES PRIVACY STATEMENT SHOULD BE ONE PAGE, JUST BULLETS POINTS. NOT PAGES OF LEGAL BULLSHIT JARGON.
Maybe we should all leave facebook, create our own social network that doesnt rape us of our privacy. Facebook just proved that they dont give a shit about you. Better leave now before they get our Social Security Numbers and use the for “Market Research”
But honestly nowadays who can you really trust on the internet?
Do not mess with the people’s internet.
Speaking about the lawsuit, Founding Partner of Murphy P.A, William Murphy Jr. said ”The days when online service providers can run roughshod over the privacy rights of their customers are over. Companies that operate commercial websites, such as Facebook, need to realize the public is increasingly concerned about its privacy rights. Perhaps even more importantly, there is a growing community of security experts and bloggers that is extremely savvy about internet technology and committed to ensuring that people’s privacy rights are respected and protected.

Support Police. Beat Yourself Up: Stop Using Google Search Please
Stop using Google. If you don’t know why, you’re not paying attention.
Of course you could switch to Start Page. But I have found it to be unattractive and not rich enough in features. The only feature they have that I admire is the proxy feature and that’s slow and not very practical for most…

US trade rep and hotel caught lying about confidentiality of secret copyright treaty meeting in Hollywood
The sequel to ACTA is TPP, the Trans-Pacific Partnership, yet another secret copyright treaty with many of the same participants.A coalition of civil society groups got wind of an upcoming TPP meeting in a Hollywood hotel and decided to rent out a function space in the same building so they could hold a public information meeting on TPP during the session. According to Techdirt, the US Trade Representative had the hotel cancel the civil society groups’ reservation. The hotel claimed that the reservation was being canceled due to “a confidential group in house” and that “we will not be allowing any other groups in the meeting space that day.”
Except that this turns out to have been a lie. When the civil society group called up and asked to rent a function room for an unrelated event, the hotel was happy to rent to them.
