So I came across this article on Yahoo! and it immediately made me feel very uneasy.
Here is the link for the article:
http://news.yahoo.com/facebook-allegedly-auto-liking-posts-users-behalf-without-162851176.html
So what FB is doing now is scanning through your past messages, posts, whatever, to find terms that you have frequently used. Then they "like" something related to that term on your behalf, WITHOUT YOUR PERMISSION.
So this article jokes that if you talk about a devil costume for halloween, then perhaps FB would like some sort of satanic cult for you.
Does this not scare anyone else? Does this not make you wonder why the hell this is needed? Who thought this was a good idea? Personally, I think whoever came up with this idea should be fired. But, I suppose it also affirms the fact that perhaps not all is really "private" on FB.
Unfortunately, the article makes no mention of when this has started occuring, or why, or how we can stop it.
Just another disappointment from the peeps over at FB. FB is like, totally lame. :)
