How scary can Facebook be?

from http://sdow.semanticweb.org


Facebook saves...
...things that have been deleted. Be it your status update, a picture of you, drunk and unbecoming, or even after you've deactivated your account - they keep it after it's gone from your memory.

Facebook knows...
...where you've been. Whether you're stalking your ex, checking up on an old friend or taking a look at someone's farm; Facebook keeps a log of clicks of everything you've, well, clicked on.

Facebook knows...
...if you have friends. It can find out the frequency with which you visit someone's profile and use this data to judge who your buddies are. How to tell this is true? Search results for friends are not listed alphabetically but according to how often you interact with them.

Facebook is your...
...psychologist. Instead of doing focus groups and sampling for its new features, the social networking site carries out psychologist tests for new features on you. To boot, eyeball tracking tells them what you're looking at.

Facebook is a...
...mail thief. It can retrieve any message you've sent as all of them are stored in its servants. In fact, they'll keep them long after you've trashed the trash.
