If the service is free, YOU are the product being sold.
Your email provider, Internet browser, free apps in iTunes, games on Facebook, hair care forums, free phone calling services, gossip blogs and the like are collecting and selling data about their users. (or are subscribers to services that do the aggregation for them.)
It is what it is. Anything you put into another company's server is probably fine-print licensed to them. Their attorneys wouldn't get paid to do less.

So..i dont get it..Are folks against social media because they can use your comments or photos for advertisements? Does this happen alot? Would it be better if they paid for what they use? Whats the conspiracy? Is it like, people dont want their pics to end up on PICS sites? I'm lost...
