Of all the large companies that are now large internet players, do anyone particularly scare you in terms of how you data and track could be used? Amazon, Facebook, Twitter, …?

Facebook takes record of every of your activities on their platform, although it’s a way for them to know what you’re interested in and be able to place targeted ads. But if you ask me, I would say that every social platform or online platforms are the same, and you should mind what information you’re giving to them. Any platform can get hacked and hackers can steal your information and use it against you. So limit the information you’re giving.

The tech giants are spying on all of us (Amazon, Google, Apple, Facebook).  I don't believe what Zuckerberg said at the hearing, your data is stored even if you delete your facebook account.  The sad thing is most people don't care enough to do anything.  We are all knowingly carrying around spy devices (phones) that track our every move and what we say.

I'm not afraid of any of these companies, as well as any other companies. It all depends on the people themselves, how much information they provide about themselves. We need to fear not the company, but ourselves. For example, when we are going on vacation, we post a photo from the airport, then from the hotel. And thus we make it clear that our housing is currently empty. So this information can be used by some dishonest people. And it is much more real.

Simple you don't want to put anything in it to make you a lot of trouble. But since facebook has been in the senate I think it is more safer to use it now.
Yes Facebook wouldn’t do such things like selling users info etc., but are you aware that Facebook accounts can be hacked? Although I don’t know if it can be hacked when you’re using 2fa, but accounts without 2fa has been hacked several times thereby giving the hackers charge over your account, which means they are able to go through information that you have set to private. So it’s still not safe on Facebook, keep your private life to yourself and not to the public.

Sometimes i wonder about that as well. I'm kinda afraid how my data and privacy will be used. It doesn't matter if it's for my own good, but well company needs money as well, and i heard that selling our data is not a strange thing anymore to get money.
As long as they don't sell my data for something bad, or suddely involve me in a terrible things. I think it's okay. But it should be better if they keep our privacy and data safe because i would appreciate it more.

The use of personal data must be strictly controlled. There were several cases where after participating in the ICO, KYC data was publicly available.

From the very start, everything we input in the computer has the chance to get hack and no one can avoid about it. We just need to be vigilant and be very careful when inputing our data. Let's just hope that the good will always be on top and more programmers will develop about the safe of our data.

all online companies are frightening if they misuse our personal data that we register,
but they are very protective of the privacy of their users.

If Facebook have been able to get personal data from its users without authorization from them I don't think a Senate hearing is going to make it safer to use now. They will just use another way to collect the data that they want without anyone knowing. Facebook is the most dangerous company on this planet.

In my opinion. the company maintains the confidentiality of data from customers. they will not commit data theft or data piracy of a customer who has trusted their site. but we must remain vigilant to manage our data in their applications so that our data remains safe. and we must be careful when we fill in the data on their site.

Same in business, there are many frauds and scams which we need to stay away but, the Facebook is the best platform for any business ad for now.

Facebook, social medias is one of the sources of the news now and by the Facebook people can easily share news and videos to the public,

Without any filter of this post, the world can be ruin with fake news, the facebook should implement such rules and with just 1 Fake news account is banned and those new Facebook profile can't post anything within a period of time.
of course Facebook becomes a strategic social media, because i think it is a social media with the most users. then it would be better indeed to filter the news from element of lies, so as not to poison many people

Google is also very intruisive. They can even monitor what are you talking about and post commercials adequate to your words.

I'd think facebook is scsry for me because i myself am a heavy user of it and almost all my apps are synced up to it so I don't need to enter my passwords all the time. That being said, there is alot of pertinent dta there about me. Although this data in itself is not important, but combined with others, it's dangerous.
Amazon is the most scary company in the whole world. You can talk about oil companies and finance companies all you want but regulations are getting tighter and tighter for them, the more mistakes they do the more punishments and taxes they are getting and after 2008 the finance world has been getting much more careful and conservative whereas after BP oil breach on ocean the oil companies are much more careful as well.

Yet here is amazon, whose workers DIED on company work, whose workers pee on cups so they don't have to go to toilet, whose workers have feet problems from walking 12km A DAY EVERYDAY. I mean amazon is as horrible as it gets, there are many other stuff that casts a bad shadow on them as well.

Yes, Amazon is the scariest company by far.  The government is helping them succeed with tax breaks. Jeff Bezos even works with the CIA!  All those Alexa devices and Amazon tablets are spying on us and recording all our information so it can be sold or used against us.

I know people who have worked at Amazon, the conditions are horrible.  They are constantly being yelled at to work faster and they really do have to pee in bottles, this is not a myth.

We have to careful what we share. Social media sites also collect info about us without our knowledge. At first look, you may think that it is okey but this info can be used against you even after many years.

In a transaction such as a bank, car, home loan application, our data must be copied as a requirement, and that doesn't matter. In the internet era, all social media and application owners always ask for our data. And that doesn't matter. The problem is when our data is sold to certain parties for bad purposes, where we as data owners do not know anything.

You better watch out bro! You are being monitored and your data is being collected across board. Grin Just kidding though! However, it is still something you always have to take into consideration when it comes to data and with some of the news we have heard in the past about Facebook selling the user's data to highest bidders which to me is highly unethical.

Sure, we can say we share data everywhere and as long as we are on the internet, data are prone to be leaked sometimes, if it gets into the wrong hands, but whichever way, in this case, what can we really do about it?

We can simply do nothing about it. Those data aren't really concerning. The data social media are selling are things like how much teenagers are spending time online or what are the things do they like. Those are data that are collected by your activity by using social media. It's all for marketing so companies would know if what they are selling are going to hit the market or not. If your concerns are your whereabouts, you still have control over your fingers and what you post on social media so pretty much you can just NOT post where you are instead. People like using the hashtag #atm which is quite dangerous in most cases since you might have a stalker especially if you are a girl.

At the end of the day, we really can't do anything about it since social media has become a normal thing in our society. If you don't have a social media, people see you as a hermit or a weirdo. We will always use social media and the key is to not post everything. Be mindful of what you put out there because what you put out on the Internet is there forever.
