10 bonnes raisons d'abandonner Facebook
Facebook, MySpace and other social networks have apparently been sending personal and identifiable information about users to advertisers without consent, despite assurances to the contrary. Large advertising companies including Google's DoubleClick and Yahoo's Right Media have received information including usernames and ID numbers that could be traced back to individual profiles as users clicked on ads. The data could potentially be used to look up personal information about the user, including real name, age, occupation, location and anything else made public on the profile. Both of the aforementioned companies denied being aware of the "extra" data they were receiving and claim they have not made use of it. The Wall Street Journal reports that since questions were raised about the practice with Facebook and MySpace , both companies have since rewritten at least some of the code that allowed transmission of identifiable data.
