The latest post on ‘ReadWriteWeb’ is titled “Facebook’s Email Scanning Isn’t A Privacy Issue, It’s A Credibility Issue”.

Dave Copeland says, “Facebook confirmed on Thursday that it scans private messages for links and records them as likes, according to the Wall Street Journal and other news outlets. The revelation undermines not only Facebook’s commitment to remove phony links but the company’s very credibility.

Facebook has not kept secret its scanning of private messages for references to criminal activity. What is new is that it also looks for links and records those as likes. This practice gives the appearance that more people are liking more things on the social network”.
