Facebook = Beacon of responsibility?
I was notified, via email to my spam filtered email account, that I was being notified of a class action lawsuit against Facebook (gasp!). The first thing I did was check to see if the email they sent it to was the one I use for Facebook. Check. Then I went to the website that they mentioned for this whole http://www.beaconclasssettlement.com/Index.html thing. It explained, in very UNDERSTANDABLE terms, what it was all about. Check. Then I went to snopes.com (can they GET any more popup ads on there? GEEZ) and it wasn’t listed, so I emailed them to ask if it was legit. Still waiting on that reply, but upon further investigation (i.e. google!), it looks like it might be legit.
Are you feeling the victim? Everything you do on Facebook is precipitated with a screen asking you if you really… really want to do it. When you go on OTHER websites as well, such as yahoo!.com, amazon.com
So what I suppose I don’t get is why this is such a surprise that those things you’re doing on those sites are then showing up on Facebook. It makes no sense to file a freaking lawsuit, extracting money from a service that is being provided to us FREE OF CHARGE, giving it to men in suits that most certainly don’t need more – all to protect us from ourselves?
What am I missing here!?!
