●● Should Techrights Watch Facebook?

Posted in Site News at 3:46 pm by Dr. Roy Schestowitz

Summary: Some quick news/notes about Facebook and a question to readers

Facebook is said to be covered by the press more than Microsoft these days (although these two companies are not separable). It is often covered negatively because of its controversial behaviour (for instance, Facebook is censoring dissent). It was recently revealed that Facebook starts spreading people’s telephone numbers around (and this sort of data is possibly being sold to other companies), so German regulators stepped in and one reader suggested that we share this new article which claims that “Facebook is being overrun by scam surveys, fake applications and bum links, according a new report by an Internet security firm. And it’s getting worse by the day as scammers figure out clever new ways to trick unsuspecting users.”

People who value their freedom and safety keep their computing under their control. We wish to ask readers if they think that Techrights should watch and cover Facebook more than it already does. █
