While Apple Is Protecting Our Privacy, Facebook Is Selling Our Data

Some controversy this week because Apple is accused of anti-competitive measures.

Thank you for this. A thread on Twitter on this follows. Four basic principals proposed by Tim Cook:… Cont

Reasons To Quit Facebook

Following my reading of Wired article “WHY SHOULD ANYONE BELIEVE FACEBOOK ANYMORE?” I had even more reasons to quit Facebook. In a word, the motivation of Facebook is not what they said or what they say. They lied.

On What Facebook Knows About You – Way Too Much
