Facebook has rocketed to fame from just a small campus connect site to a worldwide popular social network site in just a couple of years. When you sign up to Facebook, as with every other networking site, you enter personal details, preferences, and likes and dislikes. This goes towards creating your personal ‘profile’ and most people fill out this information under the proviso that it’s to be shared with friends. However, few people on signing up to these sites take the time to read the terms and agreements, one man did and this is what he found. Like most conspiracy theories, it’s usually wise to keep a skeptical distance, but the video certainly raises some obvious but often forgotten questions about intellectual property and commercial gain from user information.
