I'm more annoyed with the constant barrage of either Facebook, Apple, or Google getting in trouble because of privacy each week. Even when there is really no story at all (conceptual Google Glasses? Privacy! Instagram being bought, despite no TOS changes? Privacy!).


  > Instagram being bought, despite no TOS changes?
  > Privacy!
To be fair, this means that all of the Instagram data becomes a part of Facebooks 'profile' on you. I'm willing to accept a looser TOS when my data is silo'd into many different places that aren't necessarily talking to each other. When all my data becomes consolidated into the same place, I want more strict reins over what happens to it. Much in the same way the rules change for businesses that find themselves in monopoly positions.


Add to the "Privacy!" nonsense the "Google is now EVIL" canard that pops up at the same time.
