I just don't like the way they send me stuff about retirement funds and "how to meet over-85 singles."
I think that this article brings up a really interesting topic pertaining to Facebook. When I'm on Facebook, I usually don't even think that the site could be gathering information about me or about how the ads are oddly catered to my interests. I think that this just encourages people to really see what they're signing up for with Facebook and to see how they may be sharing information with more people than they think. However, I do think that ads are a key tactic for Facebook to bring in money. It could be really detrimental if action is taken against this.
