    Angelos sues Facebook over privacy rights

    Not baseball-related, but c'mon, it's Angelos. I just had to post it here.

    Angelos looks at people with big pockets and then figures out a way to pick it. Much like he treats the Orioles fans.

    My first thought was "someone should." Glad it's a good attorney.

    So you're cool with facebook tracking your online activety after you've logged off of their site?

    Can't hate on this.

    While nobody is obligated to join facebook it's become such a pervasive part of our society that it's hard not to have an account. Personally, I don't care about my activity being tracked unless people can find out information like bank account numbers and such but I can obviously sympathize with people who don't want to have their internet privacy tracked. Some very personal information can be gleaned from this behavior.

    I hope Angelos wins and forces FB to curb back their invasion of privacy.

    This must be why he hasn't accepted my friend request yet.

    Well I guess we can cross Mark Zuckerberg off the list of potential new owners.

    One time when I'm actually on his side. He's proven to be a ruthless litigator in the past (for just causes no less). Hopefully they'll force FB's hand (and since they're probably following me, they'll be pissed about this post.) Good chance for a settlement in this case.

    Don't login to FB and they can't track you.......works for me. I have very little use for it (and Twitter also). And I'm an IT guy.

    "They" can still track you on your phone. Even if it's turned clear off. Track you and eavesdrop on the room you're in.
