Facebook Makes Moves on Instagram Users

The problem will not be solved by you and me deleting Facebook, Instagram or Google. The biggest problem is your friends who share your name and number with these social apps without thinking and without your approval. And you can’t even ask these big social tech companies to delete it. That’s the really scary thing in all this!

Not to mention the times my face shows up in a picture someone posts to Facebook. I'm under no delusion that Facebook actually deleted my account. They know what I look like even though I haven't had an account in years.

I would like to add: the implications of someone adding your personal information unauthorised to these social networks has not been tried legally.

With the GDPR, it's about to be. It will be interesting to follow.

I, for one, am quite proud of Europe for taking steps to protect her citizenry. Hopefully the rest of the world will follow shortly.
