The Relationship Between Facebook and Privacy: Itâs Really Complicated

,----[ Quote ]
| The complaint specifically mentions the 
| âinstant personalizationâ feature that 
| allows Microsoftâs Doc.com, Yelp, and 
| Pandora to personalize their services when 
| a user is logged in to Facebook, and also 
| refers to the fact that Facebook connects 
| profile details such as hometown, movie and 
| music preferences, etc. to public 
| âcommunity pages.â

Bad week for Facebook privacy

,----[ Quote ]
| Not only that, the complaint also takes a 
| dim view of Facebook giving out users' 
| personal information to companies like 
| Microsoft, Yelp and Pandora without first 
| obtaining their consent.
