More Facebook privacy invasion
I'm not on Facebook and have no intention of signing up. But today I heard about yet another privacy issue that would really concern me if I were on that site.
Did you know that your photo can be displayed on a main Facebook page to endorse a service you may never even have used?
Did you know that your name can be used on Facebook to advertise a service or company you signed up as a fan of but have not given permission for the endorsement?
And they don't even have to tell you that they're doing it?
Geoff Evans, a social media coach I know personally and respect, has an article about it on his blog, along with screencaps of the endorsements, and step-by-step instructions on opting out.
Feel free to repost or link - this needs wide exposure.
