        Basically true. Not even satire.

        I would happily give up my freedom for the right to show people pictures of my dinner.

        How is he to blame? It wasn't a forced hand, you can fill in what you want or not want to on FB. If people choose to share, it's their choice. I'm confused at the question to be honest...

        The thing is, sometimes users didn't know they were giving away personal information. It could be something like arranging a dinner over messenger and then FB will know what food you like and sell that info on to food companies to advertise that sort of food i.e. Italian food

        A chance at a free I- phone or a Waffle House gift card would do it.

        The same way govt does...by offering them "free" stuff. The lesson, of course, is that nothing is really free.

        Well that is hardly rocket science . . . . offer the public something for free and we are hooked. . . . . I mean it's free and no one reads the ads anyway.
