INFOGRAPHIC EXPLAINS FACEBOOK
WordStream has created an infographic on how Facebook collects data.
The social network site knows almost everything about a user- where s/he goes, what s/he eats or does and all alike.
Larry explains that though people create awareness in terms of Facebook privacy, nevertheless they provide their personal information spontaneously. Every day more than 1 billion people express their opinion, thoughts, ideology, pictures, videos and so forth on Facebook. Additionally, they share different types of content with their friends and family members.
Eventually, Facebook knows where you donate, which cars you drive, which sites you visit and else.
We share many metadata-posts willingly on Facebook. Metadata is a data set which informs about other data. During log-in, posting check-in or listening to favorite songs consciously or subconsciously we provide valuable information in every step. Thus, by collecting all that data Facebook became the marketing wizard.
The site even channels ads from different organizations analyzing users’ relationship status, political interest, religion, and age.
