Hey kids, facebook also added something that ALLOWS THEM TO SELL YOUR INFORMATION. They call it "Facebook Development Platform." to change it, on your homepage, go to "my privacy" on the left side, and under the "everyone" heading click "edit" and then scroll down to the bottom and uncheck "my information may be used"

THIS IS NOTHING NEW YOU IDIOTS! They have always been able to do that under the terms of use that you didn't bother to read when you signed up. It's nothing new. If you don't like it, delete your account. Unchecking some box has no effect on it.

Yep. In fact employers can even buy your info. We are even talking pictures that you have put on and later deleted.

3 days ago I noticed someone from an AT&T building in NJ was checking my blog and they were referred to my blog through my facebook profile. I thought it was odd at the time since I don't know anyone on the east coast, but who knows maybe our info really is being sent out.
