Facebook’s New Terms and Conditions: Is It Time To Worry? –

Facebook recently updated its Terms and Conditions,
let’s see what has changed since then and decide
whether we should worry about our private data
security or not.

An update which is described by Facebook as ‘easier to
understand’ enter into force January 1, 2015. And it’s
left to you to decide whether you agree to continue using
Facebook upon such terms or it’s high time you stopped.

What you can control:
Users can control what data they share with friends (by
selecting audiences, such as Friends, or Public, or
Only Me from Facebook’s privacy menus, or from the
drop-down menus on individual posts).

What you can’t control:

Facebook collects GPS data which is used to see if
friends are nearby, or to target adverts to the user.
Any information on "EVERY"  web page people visit while
logged in, and from "EVERY" app people have logged into
using their Facebook details are also available for social
network.

The goal of collecting such information is to target
advertising more effectively. However, critics argue
that the network could actually keep this data as long as
it wants, and also use it in "ANY " way it desires.

hmm

For users, there’s not a great deal of choice: Facebook
itself suggests you either Deactivate your account or
Delete it altogether if you don’t like the new conditions.

What do you think?
