AllFacebook: Facebook Profile May Provide Clues to Rogue Trader

  • Thibaut Thomas · 1 year ago
    Actually, the Guardian has a story about the fact that the facebook profile lost many friends from the Societé Générale Network in a few hours.
    But more interesting, and the Guardian didnt catch that, before leaving, some great friends he made had sent him gifts : handcuffs, and a 4 leaves Irish Luckcharms... Very nice indeed !

    Thought crime is death. Thought crime does not entall death. Thoughtcrime IS death. I have committed even before setting pen to paper the essential crime that contains all others unto itself.

    "Do you think it’s a good idea to use social network profiles to predict future behavior?"

    Isn't that similar to the business model of social networks: profiling and predicting your behavior for targeting ads?

    I don't think that it could be used to predict criminal behaviour, because as soon as anyone knows that the government is using Facebook to do this, people's behaviour will change.

    Adverts on the other hand, people don't care about and won't change their behaviour, so Facebook can target away.

    I'm not sure about predicting future criminal behavior, but I sure wish Facebook had some sort of filtering process that when someone has been reported x times, they are banned completely. I wrote about my experience the other day with a pscyho on FB here: Facebook Abuse: Is Blocking People Enough?
