Facebookin uutisvirrassa näkyi kaverin käyttäneen sovellusta, joka kertoo, kuinka monta kävijää on ollut hänen profiilissaan. Ensimmäinen ajatukseni oli "hei tuohan olisikin hauska tietää" ja klikkasin sovellusta. Eteeni tuli sivu, jossa pyydetään antamaan sovellukselle lupa henkilökohtaisiin tietoihini. Kaikkihan aina klikkaa "Salli" sen kummemmin asiaa miettimättä. Olin itse kuitenkin uteliaalla päällä ja klikkasin kohtaa "Palvelun käyttöehdot". Kuinkahan moni edes tajuaa, mihin antaa luvan klikkaamalla "Salli"? Tässä parhaat palat:

Peitin osan nimistä tähdillä, jotta ei tule jaettua sontaa. You'll get the picture, though? Eli sallimalla sovelluksen annan oikeuden käyttää sekä omia että kavereideni tietoja mainostamiseen. Ymmärtääköhän kukaan, että nämä sovellukset tosiaan saavat tietoonsa sähköpostiosoitteen, jolla olet kirjautunut Facebookiin ja tietämisen lisäksi jakavat sitä erittäin suvereenisti eteenpäin? Ja paras osa olikin vielä edessä:

Kas kun eivät varaa oikeutta esikoispoikaan, suihkussa laulettuihin itse keksittyihin lauluihin ja tulevaisuuden veronpalautuksiisi. Hauskinta on kuitenkin se, että Facebookin omien sääntöjen mukaan ei ole mahdollista ilman käyttäjän suostumusta kerätä tietoja, joita tämä sovellus väittää keräävänsä. Ote Facebookin FAQ-sivustolta:

Sovellus tarvitsisi siis luvan jokaiselta, joka on käynyt profiilissa voidakseen laskea kävijät.

Että näin. Taidanpa poistaa nekin vähät sovellukset, jotka minulla vielä on, vaikka eihän siitä enää ole hyötyä, kun on jo antanut luvan ties mihin...
