They're not the only ones - did you know G tracks 10 times what FB does?

Another reason I don't use G or FB!

But hey, the rest of you go right ahead making G and FB money!

I don't think any of this surprises me.  They know anything you care to share on Facebook, which for most is virtually everything.

I do not really do a lot these days with my personal FB page, only sharing some staff and family pictures. But for years we are all there, I'm afraid they already collected all they wanted on me...and each of you..

Which is why you should provide nonsensical responses to as many FB profile Qs as possible.

I am not surprised about this at all Fred Griffin - it is among the many reasons I don't spend a lot of time on FB ... yet I am being told I need to do more on FB for business ... YIKES!

Fred,

This is why we rarely post or hang out on FB...and the very few times we do probably accounts for 100-200 spam mails daily...Thank you Spam Sieve.  We still review it to make sure nothing gets by.  A
