Facebook Denies Selling User Information
February 3, 2009 – 1:39 pmI read with interest Facebook’s denial that they have plans to sell their huge database of user information, rebutting an article on The Sunday Telegraph. Frankly, whether Facebook did have plans to do so or will have plans to do so in the future, I wouldn’t be surprise. Haven’t we come across enough companies that were adamant that they would not be doing something only to do exactly the same thing later on under different circumstances?
In any case, signing up with Facebook or any other websites where they provide us with user agreement to read with fine lines so fine that many of us end up not bothering to read, do know that in any case, your personal information is already disclosed and compromised and they could do whatever they want.
If CIA, FBI or any government or security agency asks for this information, website operators are obligated by law to provide it. Remember the case of Yahoo! disclosing private user information to the Chinese Government?

Wow, I can’t imagine how much money this would bring them. However, being a facebook user myself, let’s hope this doesn’t happen.
