Le réseau insociable n’en fait vraiment qu’à sa tête. Si vous avez la malchance d’avoir un iPhone et l’application Facebook, sachez que celle-ci fait un peu plus que de synchroniser seulement les numéros de vos amis. En effet, elle récupère l’intégralité du répertoire… à votre insu évidemment. Avec cela, on vient d’atteindre l’apogée du grand n’importe quoi dans la course au service qui viendra déguster toutes nos données personnelles. Cette découverte que l’on doit à un blogueur britannique, a de quoi faire flipper.

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg is already the undisputed king of social networks, but now he has one more prize: 18 key patents related to social networks, quietly purchased this summer from the industry’s faded pioneer, Friendster. The Friendster patents were transfered to Facebook on June 7, according to the United States Patent and Trademark Office’s database . The patents, seven of which have been awarded to Friendster by the Patent Office and 11 of which are still pending, include a “ system and method for managing an online social network ,” “ feeding updates to landing pages of users of an online social network from external sources ,” and a “ system, method and apparatus for connecting users in an online computer system based on their relationships within social networks ,” among others. Together, they appear to give Facebook control over a substantial portfolio of intellectual property covering the basic operations of any social network.
