I saw that!! Gosh!!..

Facebook is trying to downplay it, says they will fix it, that not so much personal information is being shared....just advertisers going to hit us up with unwanted ads on our emails.

I don't want that either. My Facebook is there, but inactive. I never post there. I want to, but GOSH!!

At first, it was being reported ALL personal information is being gathered by "glitches". Now it's "just ads will be sent to you".

What should we believe?

This is a great link, an analogy, if you don't want virus in you computer don't use the internet or borrow executables. (programs)
