Topic: [2018-05-16] Another Facebook Scandal. New data leak. (Read 109 times)

Today we have again the same: another leak in Facebook has exposed the intimate data of over 3 million people. Again, this has been possible by an app, but this time a personality one, in which some sensible data is involved.
Of course, there is a new investigation on the way, and it is probably quite old, for the app was developed in 2007.

Here the link to one of the papers (the new is everywhere): http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-5730671/Intimate-details-3-MILLION-users-exposed-new-Facebook-data-leak.html

This is another example of how the people don't care about sharing personal data, even when are related to their personal details and their phycological profile. Whatever Facebook is or not guilty (I think a further investigation should be done on Google as well) what concerns me, again, is the use the people make of such a site.
I don't have a Facebook account due to all the fake news spread in there as a virus, but I can't understand how people don't care even a bit in what they share and why they are willing to tell a platform where do they eat, who are their relatives, where do they go, what do they like...
- Are we living in a society obsessed with obtaining some pathetic "likes"?
- Can the surveillance be stopped in any sense when is your own brother who, happily, takes a picture of you and put it on a platform for everyone to see it, telling the world where and when did you be?
- All those scandals, will awake the people?

What do you think about Facebook and those scandals? Do you believe there is something going on against Facebook? Or, on the contrary, do you believe this is well-deserved and they must be closed down? Why are the people willing to do such tests, to share anything related to their intimacy and their relative's one? Is that the "Brave new world" we are bulding?
