As I am currently laid up and unable to even walk to the kitchen (which is approximately 6 feet away from where I am sitting) without an uncontrollable coughing fit, I've been doing a lot of the only two things that I can do sat reasonably still. The first is watching television, and the second is reading everything I can get my infection riddled hands on; including online news reports (see how desperate I am??).
Anyway, Facebook is newsworthy yet again. Apparently the people in charge of it - whoever the heck that may be - have been selling users' details to third parties (i.e. telemarketing companies); particularly those that are supposedly "private".

And here is my question:
Considering what we as a society know about the internet, and also considering this company's rather sullied track record so far, surely I can't be the only person that isn't particularly surprised?

UPDATE: I have just read the comments section attached to the article. Apparently I'm not the only one.
Good-egg.
