e-Safety implications of the new Facebook Timeline

[Theblacksheep]

According to geek.com facebook collects hundreds of pages of data per user. You can request the information stores on you by submitting a personal data request facebook personal data requests. Europe vs Facebook has shared the data it received in response to a request: example of data

 

There is data such as messages you have deleted, logging which events you decided not to attend as well as those you did, the last location you accessed Facebook from, a list of every single machine you ever logged into Facebook from, who has poked you, and there’s even fields for political and religious views even though they were empty.

a list of every single machine you ever logged into Facebook from

On similar note, I've noticed that the latest Android app runs the location finder thing (the accurate one that Maps and Places uses, rather than coarse one) every time I open Facebook, which it used not to do.

I've probably lost my job as a result of that Bl**dy timeline changing my privacy settings. A status and replies that should've been private were available to ANYONE, not just those who were friends or even friends of friends. Needless to say I no longer use FB under my real name. no friends from the staff at school I work at. Lesson learned! new job incoming. need to know how to write the new required trendy CV now any help out there would be much appreciated
