1. When I first got my drivers license, I posted my achievement on my wall. A day later, I was getting ads from insurance companies on my facebook wall.

2. I was was carious as to what a Urber driver is. After google what it was, facebook was posting things on my wall to sign up for Urber.

3. When I was pulling into to the gym I work out at, I recieved a facebook message with tips on working out. This happened 2 min. after I pulled in the parking lot. The last time I checked, only the goverment can do this, and even so they need a warrent.

更新1:

I'm just carious, how fast would I get banned from facebook, If I post an artical on my wall about facebook spying and selling our personal information to third parties and the goverment

It's YOU voluntarily putting things on to FACEBOOKs computer system - they are not spying, the are simply using what you provide.

That's why you should always read through the "Terms and conditions" before signing up to sites/things.

It's your choice to use the site, and by doing so you agreed to everything they want.

It sounds like you also have the facebook app on a phone or tablet - one of the options in that is to track where you go. Again, you installed the app, no one forced you to do that!

(Problems like this have an acronym in the Engineering trade and many other circumstances:
RTFM.. Read the Fookn Manual, before saying there is something wrong).

If you made that post they would probably make some sarcastic reply about the T&Cs and you volunteering the info.

all social networking sites do that you let them when you sign up and agree to their terms and conditions , google does the same and apparently so does Y@h00 now , everything you do or put on a website become s the sole property of the website

First of all, it's C-U-R-I-O-U-S****.

Secondly, for most of the things you mentioned, there are settings that you can turn off to avoid the data mining and tracking. Specifically, for the gym incident, it could have been avoided if you had GPS tracking turned off on your phone or in the Facebook settings themselves (and in Google as well). Anything that can't be "turned off" was agreed to when you signed up for Facebook in the ToS. I would advise you to read it when signing up for social networks (and occasionally when Facebook changes it) so you know what you're agreeing to in the future. As well, there is information online about how to turn off cookies in your browser, which should stop some attempts at data gathering, but obviously not all. You can also purge cookies that have already been collected through your browser.

Facebook make every cent they can from using anything you post - thats why Mr Zucheberg was multi millionaire very quickly - no consideration for personal privacy as you gave the information freely. Facebook and all the other social media programs and sites are widely known to be insecure. i`d never go anywhere near them

Every business on the internet, facebook, Google, Instagram, Twitter, etc., gleans your information so they can "sell" it to advertisers, companies, or use it themselves. That's how they stay in business without charging you a fee to use their website. If you read most of these "Terms of Service" or Terms of Use", this information is located right there for you to read. These websites aren't "spying" on you at all. You gave them permission to do this when you use their public web sites. You can delete the "History" from each link when you leave if you desire to limit the information that may be used to advertise things you may or may not purchase. Facebook has done nothing illegally. Google does the same thing. Ever notice how if you've looked at an item(s) at a website like Amazon, the
"advertisements" you'll start seeing as pop-ups somewhere on your browser pages will be the exact type of items you were just looking at on Amazon? Same goes if you search a particular company for vehicle insurance. News travels very quickly when there's the possibility of making a sale.

Well the ads are because what Facebook does is track keywords in your posts to make the ads that they show tailored to what you do. So you post about drivers licences, and Facebook is able to detect those words and so knows that you have something to do with driving licences, so shows corresponding ads. Nobody actually sees your post in this process. Think of it like when you search something into Amazon(for example) to buy, Amazon knows what you searched and so shows ads based on that. If your Google is linked to your Facebook, what you search between the two can be linked in order to further personalise the ads you see.

As for the gym, Facebook has access to your phone's GPS functions (so that when you 'Check In' on Facebook, it knows what to recommend), but that's as far as I know how someone could figure out where you were and I can't explain any further on that

"If you're not paying, you're not the customer, you're the product being sold" or so they say. You might want to change your info or make it more private, because that's what social networking sites do. I'm surprised how many people know about this yet continue to use it. For that third point, it sounds like you have that location setting on where it tracks where you are (like if you have it on your phone). If you haven't already, you should go through your settings, there's even a section on ads.
