Cyber crime has now penetrated almost to all social media, but when compared with other social media, facebook is the most dangerous. Many users upload personal data such as birthdate, photo, family relationships, etc. Date of birth can be an opening gate for cyber criminals who want to know financial information, such as your bank account. Today's users can broadcast live daily activities, this is very dangerous, such as if the user is publishing the condition he is on vacation, indirectly he tells the villain that the user's home is uninhabited, perhaps indirectly the villain was looking at his post was trying to steal or commit a crime in his home or could have come to the user with bad intentions, as we know, our followers on facebook very much and most are people we do not know at all.
The modern world is the world of information technology. Data about every person who has visited the Internet forever remain there. There's no such thing as confidentiality right now. But I don't understand how your date of birth data can help criminals get to your Bank account? Do you have a persecution mania?

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, …?
I guess all of them can track our data now a days. I mean just imagine whenever you put something into google search then there hundreds of advertisements starts flashing around the browser and they could be from the Facebook, amazon and other shopping sites. I have seen this and observed many times that the search matches to our past orders perfectly and so as to the advertisements. This internet world knows us better than anyone and ourselves too. This is the result of technology which is centralised and we can not control anything here. Thats really retarded how these guys are keeping track of everything that we do. I always keep clearing my browsers when it comes to new searches. Otherwise they intrude into my devices from all the ways. They fucking even know I have Mac and iPhone. What the heck.

I think facebook is a little horrible company because facebook can keep an eye on our movement when online location and everything can be tracked from facebook.

Every global company is scary especially because of the global control over their site that includes the location tracking, tracking of your searches and habits, actually tracking everything about you. We ain't safe in the times like this and our personal information can be used against us if someone is eager to do so.
We are all using big social media that are part of the big companies but our safety is in danger and to secure ourselves we must use additional methods for keeping our data safe.

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 believe too that Facebook is devil of all. They have been in the market since long time now and they are not doing great now a days. I mean they track us all the time with the caches, cookies etc and then alter the way we surf over the internet. The flashing ads they show are always relevant to what we daily surf what we watch and much more. Even if you dont have to shop then they will put big ads on your page and they will change your minds. Also I dont think that our photos are stored securely always. I mean there have been so many hacking reports in my country and the misuse of such photos continues always. Dont know but I now only use Facebook rarely.
I believed these big companies served different purposes, while some still and probably render us similar services. If you feel anyone like Facebook in particular coin our data for unsupported services by us and in one way or the other reap our data unscrupulously diplomatically, you may try and close the Account for another that we feel served you better. Its just we linked the outside world through these medium, one may restrict or limit their services rendered to us in their settings.

Honestly I do not care about the data and track about my identity. I have not posted anything that will endangered me or my family. Aside from that these sites are bound to some rules, regulations about privacy. They will never share or sell your data unless you, yourself leaked it to the public or somehacker penetrates the data base and sell the data to other company.
Exactly, they never sell your data to other but most of the website collecting a large number of database and selling those to people who want to market their products. I think social media channels like facebook, twitter etc they never ask you for complete info about yours.

I think Google is the most intense in using our personal data, such as: location, search preference, contact, web history (including porn)

We know facebook is more dangerous than others, all data about you can be used by "unidentified organizations", to track and spy on your activities.
I agree thats why we must protect our own data our own privacy because large company like facebook are continuously violating our rights If Im not mistaken there was a project using blockchain technology that is focusing on data privacy and its called the pillar wallet I believe privacy is one of the most interesting topic this days and with the help of this kind of project all our concerns must be solved.

Well these companies are also bound by laws and they know that there will be repercussions once they violate their cust's privacy and trust. Big companies put premium in securing their customers' information so i'm not really concerned. Their reputation depends on it anyways
companies have good and bad features. sometimes we cannot see those reasons and its effect to our investment. so, i guess certain companies like internet companies, some of them are scary in such a way that it is a scam. all of the efforts, money and time of the people can be wasted. there are people who rely and waiting on their salary but none will be given to them. and that is the most scary thing that some people is facing.
If we are even talking about scam, it would be better; this is about your data and the fact that some of these companies can actually be used in monitoring you without you even knowing. I may be wrong, but all the video calls, voice, all you data, are all there with them, and that sometimes can be pretty scary. I am sure these guys make a lot of their money from our data. I read something related about IPhone once. However, social media? That is just the most scaring.
From the three you mentioned, Twitter and Amazon ain’t much of a problem, but Facebook is. Facebook is the most intrusive, and worst part of it is that you have their app on your mobile device, it never closes (even if you try to ‘force stop' it) rather it stays on. I can’t tell the reason why they do that, but it’s very suspicious. Well, that one is not much of a problem… the most intrusive (whatever) is GOOGLE.
Google takes every information about you, monitors your location (even when you don’t want) and also monitors what you do on the web. Creepy right? Meehn, Google is worst that the others. And that’s why I don’t switch on my phone’s GPS (Location).
To be honest I do not know which one of them is worse, Google is very intrusive since most phones run android and whenever you update you get all kind of Google junk and some of that is impossible to uninstall, so no matter what you do you will always have some of the Google products with you, this is why I prefer to use old phones I do not get any functionality except a phone but I prefer that than to be tracked all day.

So, I would rather be scared of the whole internet itself than just the social media sites. I even wonder how really secure we are (our data) from these giant entities. As to security measure especially in FB, I think it's quite good but my concern is do they really not access our records in their database?
Of course our data is not secure, it is known they collaborate with anyone that ask your data and they use that date to their benefit, so if you really do not have any real use for platforms like that then do not use them there are many services that allow you to avoid them and get similar functionality, why use google when you can use a search engine that does not keep track of everything you do. 
For me I trust the companies most specially the social media. Right from the start equality in social is fare. Not only that I owe Facebook a lot because they are giving me the right client.
It doesn't scare me most specially the companies of social media, maybe for people who don't have the right credibility or should I say whose hiding from the law or the people whose have the intention on doing bad to someone.
As long as it has to do with internet. Trust no company. They may be giving you the right client which you are obviously paying for, but you would not be more surprise later on if you find out that you have been paying even much more. Privacy is something that scares me the most when it comes to social media and that is why I have limited my usage anyway, most especially when it comes to some certain information.It doesn't scare me most specially the companies of social media, maybe for people who don't have the right credibility or should I say whose hiding from the law or the people whose have the intention on doing bad to someone.
This is a digital age, and if you want to start worrying now, you should have worried a long time ago and stay away from the internet, cause as it is, there is really nothing you can do about it for now. This is normal and I am sure when it comes to invasion, then we should worry more about social media than even the likes of amazon. You never know who is looking at you right now as you are reading this.
