L’utilisation des données par les réseaux sociaux. Alors que l’enquête de Médiamétrie révélait hier que 3/4 des Français fréquenteraient les réseaux sociaux, on peut sans prendre trop de risques, affirmer qu’une bonne partie de ces personnes ignore (volontairement ou non), l’implication de ces usages sur la préservation de leur vie privée.
Dans ce domaine, il faut bien comprendre que la gratuité apparente de ces services n’est en fait qu’une façade, masquant la réalité d’un nouveau modèle économique dans lequel la matière première est constituée par les données des utilisateurs (données volontairement renseignées et récoltées en fonction des usages). Sur les réseaux, on dit généralement que le véritable produit c’est VOUS. Mais d’un certain point de vue, on peut aussi affirmer que les usagers sont les producteurs de ce système, puisqu’ils fournissent les informations, les classent, les organisent, les font circuler etc.
Et ce service que LES USAGERS fournissent GRATUITEMENT, ça vaut des millions, voire des milliards! Google + Mark Zuckerberg is TIME Magazine's Person of the Year? Where's the "dislike" button? As for Person of the Year, we couldn't find the dislike button on Facebook for TIME's choice, so we made our own.
Here's our version of the magazine: Unfortunately, the terms under which he claims to have done this set a terrible precedent for our future — for our control over the software we use to interact with each other, for control over our data, and for our privacy. The damage is not limited to Facebook users. Because so many sites — including TIME — use Facebook's user-tracking "Like" button, Zuckerberg is able to collect information about people who aren't even users of his site. These are precedents which hurt our ability to freely connect with each other. This much is evident from Facebook's outward behavior — but things could actually be much worse than we know. Fortunately, there are many efforts underway to provide distributed, user-controlled services to facilitate connection between people, including GNU social, status.net, Crabgrass, Appleseed and Diaspora.
Who Does Facebook Think You Are Searching For? UPDATE March 28, 2013: Many people have commented here and emailed me that it no longer works for you.
I have made an update to fix the bookmarklet for those with Facebook Graph Search. You can get the new bookmarklet here Updated Facebook Friends Ranking Bookmarklet to Work with Graph Search ========================================== UPDATE February 14, 2012: Many people have noted that Facebook has changed stuff in the last several months and so the bookmarklet broke. I have updated it to work on the new filename Facebook is using, and also to match the protocol you are browsing on. Drag this link to your bookmarks bar and click it when you are on Facebook. Have you ever wondered how Facebook orders your search results? Well Facebook gives explicit numbers to the directed edges (connection going from you to your friend), about how much they think you are looking for this person. To try it out, just drag the image here up to your browser’s bookmark bar.
