atleast ppl now know the real value of their privacy............telecom companies were selling illegally the mobile numbers for dirt cheap prices rs 10 per number and were making illegal profits ,that too in black money.now the users are able to get 500% increase on that amount fully legal and 100% white money...........users must thank Facebook for fully unlocking the latent value of the mobile numbers and privacy :D
 
I had my old number associated with facebook before so that i got notifications alerts on SMS. no change really. Fb neither contacted me nor there were any increase in promotional calls
 
facebook does not make money send you promotional sms. they are too classy for that. the point is that they now have your number in your database :D it might not look like a very big deal. but when they start selling this database to offline companies for a price without informing you, then the damage would start. :D
 
That number i long gone so am not worried. What would happen if they sold your number to offline companies? random calls? SMS's? Can't trust mobile companies these days. Thats why i obtained my current number with fake documents. :|
 
facebook business model is pretty creepy. they have access to tons of user information online. they combine this information with offline information about you to create an extensive profile. this data is then sold to marketing companies which target you in their own manner. it is not such a big deal in india. but it is becoming a menace in the american market. just think. you maintain a very private profile online. but your offline activities are combined with your identification online and you get promotions based on your offline activities :\it is sort of hard to explain. and most people are not yet bothered. but eventually it would become a relevant issue.
 
I think i know what you're talking about. Saw some videos as guest and then created youtube account and based on the videos watched while i a guest, youtube recommended me subscriptions :| it was creepy. Living without FB is literally impossible now-a-days. Stayed away from FB for nearly 1 year and couldn't do it anymore cause i was missing out on lot of activities! Best one can do is creat two accounts and use one for private use and use the another for signing up for websites and rest
 
that is mostly due to your cookies. and also your ip. google keeps track of a lot of data as well. even if offline/privatebrowsing mode, you are likely to get personalized results.what facebook is doing is offline (as in real life) tracking combined with online (on internet logged in or not) data to create a super profile for selling to advertisers :D
 
Strange! i don't have any FB account but i get this SMS saying xx wants to be in touch with you on facebook.. wt#
