Dear idiots...
We need to have a chat. Yes, this is about those Facebook quizzes. You know- "Social Interview", and the like. Did you know that these quizzes (and other applications) are taking you information? They aren't simply holding on to your silly answers, they're grabbing everything you have posted to Facebook. Phone number, address, interests, politics, religion, birthday- everything. In fact, they aren't simply taking your stuff, they're also taking your friends info. Why is this, you might ask? They sell your info. Advertising companies, grocery stores, even the government- all buyers of your personal data. How can you stop this? For starters, STOP USING THESE APPLICATIONS. After that, remove info you don't want getting out to non-friends. If you have to use Facebook (and let's face it, you do), just be careful.
