Facebook Privacy Opinion

Facebook Vows to Fix a Flaw in Data Privacy What are you really hiding when your posting it on the internet?

Their goal is to get us to buy whatever they are advertising and will use any trick to get that done. I do not think that letting advertisers see our information to post the different ads to target audiences is an invasion of privacy. If you meet someone and want to know
