Get your loved ones off Facebook by Salim Virani.
It’s not just what Facebook is saying it’ll take from you and do with your information, it’s all the things it’s not saying, and doing anyway.
We don’t even need to click ‘I agree’ anymore. They just change the privacy policy and by staying on Facebook, you agree.
Oopsy!
