The New Facebook Ads - Another Privacy Debacle?

privacyprof writes "Facebook recently announced a new advertising scheme called 'Social Ads.' Instead of using celebrities to hawk products, it will use pictures of Facebook users. Facebook might be entering into another privacy debacle. The site assumes that if people rate products highly or write good things about a product then they consent to being used in an advertisement for it. Facebook doesn't understand that privacy amounts to much more than keeping secrets — it involves controlling accessibility to personal data. 'The use of a person's name or image in an advertisement without that person's consent might constitute a violation of the appropriation of name or likeness tort. According to the Restatement (Second) of Torts 652C: "One who appropriates to his own use or benefit the name or likeness of another is subject to liability to the other for invasion of his privacy."'"

The fucking terms of service are available without giving them any of your data. What kind of retard mods up a whiny crybaby fuck who isn't even right about what he's whining about?

DID YOU EVEN BOTHER TO SEARCH FOR THE FACEBOOK TERMS OF SERVICE?

THEY'RE RIGHT THERE IN THE FIRST LINK WHEN YOU SEARCH FOR "FACEBOOK TERMS OF SERVICE".

How fucking stupid are you? And how stupid is the mod who read what you vomited up and thought "oh that makes perfect sense"?

Sometime I wonder how imbeciles like you operate computers at all, much less successfully post your moronic thoughts.
