If we're just talking about the three (amazon, facebook and twitter) then I'd say Facebooks has the biggest threat because of all the information they got on us, pictures, conversations and browsing history. Besides that, Facebook has connections with other apps so yhe information they would get from it is pretty dangerous in the wrong hands.

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, …?


It is truly scary to put all of your information to those kind of internet companies like facebook. I just don't include all of the information of myself there.

Twitter was a bit scary few months. I believe they listens to conversations under the pretext of serving personalized advertisements?  I mentioned a rare word and found it later in my twitter feed as advertisement. I think they stopped this though or maybe because I covered most of the openings on my phone with tapes. .
There is actually no social media platform or website where you have shared your data before that cannot get compromised as far as I am concerned.

Now that everything is digital, you apply for jobs online, you put up applications for a lot of things, you get to register on different platforms for some reasons, and then social media is the in thing, then, with all these kind of things, you data is bound to get leaked from any angle at all, so in this case, I would say this is one of the exposure that the internet brings and it is only left for each individual to know what they want to share and where they want to share it.

almost all digital and internet-based sites are intrusive and we dont know how but they can be, among others, facebook is the most obvious, they have ads based on your past searches and make ads suggestions based on your profiles and posts, seems helpful because what you can see on your wall is tailored according to you preferrences, but somehow intrusive if we dig deeper and further investigate facebook.

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.

I think it has become a natural thing if there are some companies that feel scared if there is bitcoin and a lot of bitcoin circulation that will make the country or group unable to commit corruption or other bad things.

I think oil companies are quite scary. We are talking about the company that drills earth to make money, that fraks or whatever that is to make profits, that spills oil all over the ocean and just pay a fine like that would fix something and still cause the earth to get closer to death one more day with each day they work.

These companies are the reason for us to be in this mess and why we are starting look for mars or whatever to run away from earth. Earth is literally sick, it created a fever, it will sweat first but it will kill all the things that causes it to be sick -us- and get better afterwards.

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

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

without any filtering of this post, the world can be ruin with fake news, Facebook should implement such rules and with just 1 Fake news account is bannable and those new Facebook profile can't post anything within a period of time.

We can not blame fo this situations that there are really companies which is scared of accepting and collaborating with bitcoin and other cryptocutrency, this is because they think that cryptocurrency are not yet fully accepted worldwide and not all companies are honoring the cryptocurrency technology.

It's been already on the talks in which google, for instance, is using tracker that is tracking us and use our personal data. That's really sound so scary as we know that this action is clearly a breach to data privacy and if not, this tracker annoys me with such advertisements of products related to my interests.

I think big company will take benefits from cryptocurrency. Big internet company must be adapting cryptocurrency on their platform and i think they not afraid on crypto development. Its good for them to adapt rather than againts crypto because they have a lot user that involve in cryptomarket

While some people will say Facebook is really scary or other similar companies I disagree because you can avoid using them, it is not like they are forcing you to use their services, I really think that the most scary companies when it comes to the internet are the internet service providers or ISP since they know everything about you and you cannot avoid to have to use one.

That is not entirely true, i mean ,the part where you can avoid using facebook. Their widgets are everywhere and can track your activity even if you are not using facebook.

For the rest i agrre completely with ISP and add that they can be easily forced by law to reveal the traffic of some individual if needed.

Facebook I think is the most because of connections  you are expose to many people that can hack or get the information they needed, they may easily have access to you considering they are open also to many posting, comments etc.
This is scary when our data is owned by the company, because it can be misused. But what else do we have to do because every time we make a transaction such as a home or car loan, the loan company must ask for our personal data. Without that, credit cannot be given. So, for me there is no problem as long as it is not misused.

We have biggest example of such breach from the well known company like Facebook and I am sure that everyone will have the same opinion as of mine. Dont forget that they used our personal data publicly to share with the third parties and this was confirmed by the Mark himself. Not only this I do believe that other companies like Amazon, Twitter, and Google are using our day to day activities to track our movement and know what we like and what we dont like. Depending upon which they do make changes to how the internet looks like to us and thus its kind of use of info itself. But may be no one says anything about it as it comes under user agreement and thus we ourselves giving them permission to use it.

Let the people choose to decide whether they still trust the mentions companies or not. Personally I trust them because I know they will not let the people suffer. They will not destroy their good name for just a simple things. Maybe at the future they will launch their own coin in the market.
I don't think big companies like Facebook, Twitter, Amazon, do anything to scare their members because everyone trusts them. Therefore they are not worried that the data will be misused. If the company prohibits crytocurrency-related advertising, it's 100% business oriented, because they wait and see about cryptocurrency. Cryptocurreny is a digital currency that can someday become a payment instrument worldwide.

I think Facebook is the most evidently intrusive. They monitor all of your online activity pretty much and then shape your thoughts and such with targeted advertising. There will come a time in the future when the world decides it needs to take a step back from such intrusion in to their personal lives.

I think it's Google. We are using much more of their services and they cross-compile a Big Data by that.

People can live without Facebook (like me, I don't use it), but it's very hard to avoid all Google services and work online.

I think you are right. I was to say Facebook is the most intrusive of all but then you said Google and it had me thinking how much we all use Google every day. One day, Facebook will close but it will be very hard to get rid of Google. Besides we use it for work and leisure so the amount of data it collects from users is massive.
Every company and corporation in the world has their own way of developing in different areas and the competition is extremely tough. The disappearance of this company is the opportunity for other companies to grow and develop stronger. I think that the terrible rejection of today's large corporations is the reason for the very positive development of companies that do not want to stay behind.

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