A company keeping a permanent database of my interests, which sites I like to visit and any other information that it can access definitively causes a feeling of unease. What happens to this data if (or when) Facebook goes the way of MySpace? Will they sell it? Are they already selling it? Who could use it against me in the future?

Well, my first thought is that if they go the way of MySpace, it will probably play out a lot like MySpace did.

I've yet to hear of anyone being extorted or having their data sold post-MySpace.
