[quote=MARRIE,457500]source: New York Times Max Schrems, a 24-year-old law student from Salzburg, Austria, wanted to know what Facebook knew: he requested his own Facebook file. What he got turned out to be a virtual bildungsroman, 1,222 pages long. It contained wall posts he had deleted, old messages that revealed a friend's troubled state of mind, even information that he didn't enter himself about his physical whereabouts. Mr. Schrems was intrigued and somewhat rattled. He felt a vague disquiet about what Facebook could do with all that information. Why was it there at all, he wondered, when he had deleted it? "It's like a camera hanging over your bed while you're having sex. It just doesn't feel good," he said. "We in Europe are oftentimes frightened of what might happen some day." [/quote]
