The social media portal Facebook is once again making headlines. It has been known for a long time that Facebook is always interested in receiving new and more detailed information about its members. But now it's getting really private.
In the future, not only the relationship status should be visible, but also the reason for it
This means that in the future everyone will be able to receive information about why you are single or in an open relationship. Specifically, this will mean: Some members will see a button on their friends' profile pages with which they can ask questions. If this button is clicked, a reason can be given for asking about the relationship status. The answers will consist of a list with different choices, nothing else. The data is therefore obtained from the friends of Facebook members.
Yes, just like at school when you were told on by the next-door neighbor
If this kind of espionage works, the least of our problems in the future will probably be whether everyone knows why we are single, in a relationship, or on the lookout. In fact, it will then be the case that far more important data can be determined quickly in this way: address, bank details, email, cell phone number. It's actually uncomfortable to think about. So once again the question arises: Facebook Member – yes or no? Should I stay or should I go? Here, too, Facebook is prepared. Of course, I can deactivate my own profile at any time, but Facebook can of course keep and use my data.
Well, that's how it is in the digital age...
