I also read somewhere that even if you “delete” your content, it stays on FB’s servers. Since they seem to enjoy changing the rules once you’ve figured out where they put them and managed to make sense out of them, I don’t know if that is still the case.

For whatever it’s worth, I had an unpleasant surprise this week. I mentioned Firefox — mentioned, as in typed the word Firefox in a post — “word” meaning no auto link popped up and underlined it. Ok so totally unrelated to my post (on my own wall, shared with friens, announcing a FB I created page which worked best if viewed in FF) , I stumbled across FF’s own FB page. But in the menu I saw “Friend activity” and clicked it. I saw my own announcement.

Pissed and puzzled, I finally realized that some sniffer had sniffed out the word Firefox and allowed it to appear in FF’s page even though one had nothing to do with the other. Where else is my content being exploited behind my back????

Nutshell: the feelers and sniffers are everywhere. Privacy is dead.
