The problem is that if I export my social graph and share it with another company, it includes information about who my friends are -- at the very least, it shows that they are my friends. That violates their privacy. Maybe they did not want their relationship with me to be known outside the social network where they established it.
Example, you are chatting at a party with someone and they ask you if you know Bob since he works at your company. You say yes and you say you are good friends with him. You violated Bob's privacy here?
If the question were framed more like:
"Do you consent to sharing your entire address book, so that we can better market to you and your friends and offer targeted ads based on that data to our real customers?"
Would most people actually answer yes?
Presumably you would be granting this system access to this information.
>Would most people actually answer yes?
some people would, do they not have that option?
