So what if someone reads my text's on whatsapp or my cell phone texts....and I have a friend who was in a hot zone in Ukraine ( Donetsk ), the worst that can be gleaned from any of my text messages is I am a mushy guy who cares about people.
I have been hacked on line with my World of Warcraft account, but it was my own fault as I added a UI addon without thinking. Oh well lesson learned and I moved on. Other then the loss of game gold and gear and 2 days of not being able to play, no big deal, lesson learned.
Is everyone a Super Secret international spy????? Maybe it's because I am from Canada but I just don't see a a reason for all this fuss over security.
So facebook knows I went to Staples on Wednesday, and Future shop on Thursday, and knows I liked Nokia...whats the worst thing to happen...I will see ads for Tech and maybe a sale that I could miss otherwise.
Information is what makes money for facebook, or twitter, or the like....they provide a free service for the mass of the population and gather info to sell ads.
This in a way is the same model for TV, something that people rarely gripe about, other then the Tin Foil hat types who claim there are camera's in cable boxes....which again I wouldn't care about.......
I just pitty the NSA agent who has to watch me watch my shows in my boxers :winktongue:
