    FTC says water is wet.

    Edit: in all seriousness, it’s good that the FTC is talking about this, and it’ll be even better if it does something to combat it.

    Rule #1: anybody who can get you to give them your information of likes, dislikes just about anything will sell it to other people, or use it for their own sales to you.

    Rule #2: If anyone has any reason to make you accept terms and conditions and there’s any chance that they you may want to sue them in future, they’re going to slip in a binding arbitration clause unless it is legally difficult for them to do so.

    Wake up FTC it’s not just social media it’s deeply embedded everywhere in commerce and society and it needs to be addressed RFN.
