Texting in Social medias - beware!!!
If you are messaging your friend or family about personal things, Please be beware that your messages may be scanned by social medias to show up appropriate advertisement in your login page. This has been revealed because of a lawsuit filed against facebook.
NBC news reported - “The lawsuit was filed by Facebook user Matthew Campbell and seeks class-action status. The lawsuit, filed in 2013, alleged that Facebook scanned the content of private messages sent between users for links to websites and would then count any links in a tally of “likes” of the pages. Those “likes” were then used to compile user profiles, which were then used for delivering targeted advertising to its users, the lawsuit said. The complaint alleged that the scanning of the private messages violated the federal and California state law.”
Though Facebook enjoys an 15% rise in thier share value, The fact is that the teenager’s interest on facebook seems to be reducing. Teenagers between 13 to 17 seems to have reduced from 42% (Fall 2012) to 23% (Fall 2013).
The current focus of teenagers seems to be shifting from social media to Instant messaging like ChatOn, Whatsapp etc…
Are you the person who continue to stare at your mobiles or electronic device and continue texting when friends are around? The moment, which Einstein was afraid of, is here now.
