Arguments for my Position: Social media platforms should not be able to sell users' personal information
"For instance, all sorts of highly sensitive medical information about you can travel back and forth throughout the health care and insurance industries, and sometimes beyond, with virtually no legal restraint." (Manes, 2000, p312)
"An Examination of 101 popular Smartphone "apps" -- games and other software applications for iPhone and Android Phones-- showed that 56 transmitted the phone's unique device ID to other companies without users' awareness or consent.  forty-seven apps transmitted the phone's location in some way. Five sent age, gender, and other personal details to outsiders."  (Thurm & Kane, 2010)

  • Advertisement companies track users' activity without their knowledge
"Ad companies like DoubleClick do their best to track your moves online, rendering individual sites' privacy policies meaningless--not that they're reassuring in the first place" (Manes, 2000, p. 312).
