Facebook’s clever strategy
Om Malik explained how Facebook Home is more than just an app, and
“erodes any idea of privacy.” Why is he, one of the most clever
technology writers, surprised? Facebook’s aim is to take over the internet.

Facebook surely don’t want these kind of reports, although most users
don’t bother at all. Nevertheless I guess Facebook will even offer its
participants more and more privacy options to give them the idea of
perfect protection.
Trust will stay and/or grow, so users will keep sharing and feeding the
big data machine which most users are not aware of. Facebook’s
management has always been clever with it’s privacy strategy.
I Think FB has to change radically its marketing and data model to
become a real social network. I tried to elaborate on this ideas - and
many more themes - in my books “The Power of Facebook.”
