Facebook: If you want privacy, expect to pay for it

Want privacy on Facebook? Cough up some cash.

The social-media site plans to extort users who want to keep their personal data away from advertisers — by demanding they pay for the privilege, the company’s second in command, Sheryl Sandberg, revealed on Friday.

“We have different forms of opt-out. We don’t have an opt-out at the highest level,” the Facebook chief operating officer said in an interview on NBC’s “Today.”

“That would be a paid product.”

Facebook often has "fun" postings that ask who was your favorite teacher, what was your first car, in what city were you born, etc..

These are exactly the same questions used as security questions by your bank, credit card company and others. Facebook already knows who you are, where you live, who your friends are, your political persuasions, your recipes, your pets and now you want to give them the answers to potential security questions? American people are STUPID!!!!

FB is heading for the MySpace zone. Kids pursue other apps, and even old fogies who were slow to come aboard are heading for the exits.
