Breaking Analysis: Facebook Doesn’t Want You to Know Your Profile is Only Worth $0.000005

A technology blogger by the name of Bogo recently posted that he was able to buy over one million Facebook entries containing people’s full names, email addresses, and their Facebook profile URLs, all for the basement bargain price of $5.00.  Bogo was contacted by Facebook and asked to send the file and delete any evidence of it.  Facebook then asked him not to share their conversation in his blog or profile.  Here to discuss this latest privacy breach is SiliconAngle Contributing Editor, John Casaretto, who joined Kristin Feledy in this morning’s NewsDesk segment.
