NFT: FB/"Big Brother" Question

natefit : 10/31/2014 8:53 am
So last nite I was txting with someone who mentioned she liked Andersen Cooper. I charged my phone thru my computer this am. I go to FB just now and it suggests Andersen Cooper as a friend I may like etc. I know they track but holy shit is it really that insidious or just coincidence?
definitely not a coincidence

it informs you that it will gather information about you as well as your location if your gps is running and you have share location on.

Facebook and other apps save your info and any changes to tailor material as well as ads for you. I know FB has been one the most transparent about it though. What makes the whole outrage about the NSA funny because people routinely sign up for these apps.
