Facebook Is Not Your Friend

from The Jim Stroud Podcast · host Jim Stroud

2018 was a banner year for data breaches and 2019 is already off to a great start. At the center of privacy scandals last year, was Facebook.

Despite all the data drama, Facebook is doing all right. So, what does it all mean for user privacy on Facebook and other tech companies with millions of users? I discuss that and something far more concerning than hackers stealing your data, predictive analytics. Tune in to find out what I mean. | For information on protecting your privacy on Facebook. (http://jimstroud.com/free) And please support my Starbucks habit (https://anchor.fm/jim-stroud/support) by dropping something in my virtual tip jar.
