facebook exploits you !
Posted December 19th, 2007 by WilliamCarrier
It's perfectly normal for an organism to make statistics about general informations as your country or your email preferences. Although when a case is made about each user to study the visited pages and details about their private life, unless an explicit warning is made unlike putting it in the conditions which nobody reads, trust is shattered ! That's what facebook clearly did in the article It's Our Web, Not Theirs - Let's stop big corporations from taking it over. The portrait painted in it is pretty close to what has just been described. As I don't accept that my privacy being violated, I delete right away my facebook account and I suggest all my acquaintances to do the same. Not only do you avoid to be spied on but you clearly show your disapproval.

Did you though I was exaggerating when I put this blog entry ? Then you'll call me lunatic now, have a look at this multimedia (with audio reading) slide of a possibility that goes much deeper than commercial reselling : http://www.albumoftheday.com/facebook/
I was also astounded to learn that extremely confidential information such as medical records were also being gathered.
Windows XP collect information
Same as Facebook, Windows XP is collecting information of how users are using their Windows.
it's written in the EULA, but no body is reading that ...
One way to remove that, is to use nLite and remove the "spyware" into nLite's "remove components" section!
