Great... 'Socialbots' steal 250GB of user data in Facebook invasion


Programs designed to resemble humans infiltrated Facebook recently and made off with 250 gigabytes of personal information belonging to thousands of the social network's users, researchers said in an academic paper released today.

Kinda just highlights that people click Yes to anything doesn't it lol.

If you don't want that personal information to fall in the wrong hands, don't join/share/upload etc. As soon as you do someone else will use and abuse it, including the company running the site you're intentionally uploading to.




A lot of people ask me what kind of music I like. I love "soul music". My "soul music" isn’t a style, genre or niche. It’s music that is genuine. It’s a painful lyric, a dirty bassline, it’s a harrowing vocal, it’s feedback, it’s an anthem, it’s a love song, it’s anarchy. I’ve got my personal favourites but in the end it doesn’t matter who or where it comes from... so long as it’s good and it's real.

I say yes to everyone but I also don't have that much personal info on there. No year on my b-day, no place of work, no phone, etc.
