This is a brilliant, hard hitting post Zack. And pretty obvious when you think about it. Of course Facebook is going to sell user data to the highest bidder. They already do to a lesser extent with their PPC advertising. Readers: dismiss these warnings at your own peril. EDIT: Looks like the crybabies and Facebook stockholders are flagging this. You must have hit a sensitive nerve Zack. Good job. |

Simply install ghostery and adblock, delete your fb account and call it a day.
Facebook will not be selling of the information he suggests they've got on you to insurance companies within 5 years. Not of they want to continue to exist in some form.
You can't tell whether someone is an alcoholic by looking at their pictures, most alcoholics are pretty quiet about it and manage to get away with it for decades right under the noses of friends and family (son of an ex (deceased) alcoholic here).
Facebook won't know you're sick before you and your doctor know about it. Doctors have a hard enough time to figure out what you've got and if you've got something when you're in front of them.
Facebook does not know how many sexual parters you've had, most spouses don't even know how many sexual partners their significant other has had (I'll give you that they might think they know).
They couldn't care less about your menstrual cycle, assuming they could detect that you have one.
In fact, facebook finds it next to impossible to get rid of fake accounts, can't deal with real names, has to accept pseudonyms (thanks .de!) and so on.
