        <description><![CDATA[I know for a certainty that the backlash will hit hard for all the social sites that innocent internet users are &quot;innocently&quot; joining and giving away everything about their lives. People need to know that this information IS FOREVER, and will be sold, over and over again. It's a commodity that is you and your personal lives, and those you love and work with, and more.The &quot;false&quot; dream by advertisers using social networks like Facebook are going to be left with the rubble of a lot of angry users who don't like everything about themselves being spread across the hundreds of commerce products and services, just because they simply joined a &quot;social network&quot;.  If I tried to post this article, I will be given the option to use any of these social networks to use to instantly &quot;ID&quot; me and let my comment stand. Once I do that, Facebook and others RELEASE to those advertisers ALL you personal information, regardless whether you have it &quot;private&quot; or not.  Why? Because that's what the advertisers want, and Facebook has to make money. They won't &quot;SELL&quot; your info directly, but read FB's Terms of Usage and you'll find in there that if you &quot;LIKE&quot; a company, or use any company advertising with Facebook, all bets are off on your privacy. You actively engaged the third party advertiser, thereby releasing all your information to any company you &quot;liked&quot; or directly clicked on using your Facebook account.Do your homework. BELIEVE that the problems will start coming, sooner than later, because you've opened up your private life to an innocuous fun website called &quot;FACEBOOK&quot;.  Oddly, if you haven't realized that almost a billion people in the world have signed up, and this company controls EVERYTHING provided to them by their users, then you're drinking the Koolaid.Check the news:  Facebook just bought the company &quot;FACE.COM&quot;, which is a software company that allows Facebook to run within their servers, archiving and cataloging EVERY PHOTO to a name, thereby tagging everyone in your photo for you, based on some other face recognition scan they ran on another person's account that had your photo on it.Talk about scary. Your photo, anywhere on the internet, anywhere in Facebook, will be catalogued into YOUR SPECIAL FILE that Facebook keeps on anyone who has had their photos tagged. Those names for those tags will then be scanned throughout the millions of photos on their servers, and any photo that their new face profiling software identifies as you, will be stored in your &quot;file&quot;. This means any photo of you, or your children, your girlfriend/s, boyfriend/s, relatives, coworkers, friends, etc, that is posted on Facebook will be instantly identified with their name, and then referenced with you and everyone else that is connected with them.If this doesn't sound like a horrific invasion of your privacy, hence your safety, you aren't reading into this power they have, nor have you spent an hour reading about how Stalin and Hitler both killed 10s of millions of people based on &quot;information gathering.&quot;For a quote to remember, in every aspect of your life, is: &quot;Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts, absolutely.&quot;  Lord Acton 1765Providing any online company with your personal data, activities, photos, opinions, likes and dislikes, is only going to lead you to great sorrow. Maybe not this year or the next, but sooner than you'd like.  Be careful people.]]></description>
