The Warn Test foundation convicts the social networks of trading people’s private information.
The foundation claims that in many cases the usernames and passwords are easily manipulated, which mean it is possible to reach a persons’ website and personal account with few technical steps.
Social networks are so enthusiastic in gathering more and more information from their users. These networks give free services and rely heavily on advertisings to gain financial profits.
The more information they “sell”, the more customer and profit they have.
The networks with higher number of users charge more for advertisings and increase their revenues.
Warn Test says that the networks which are less famous, act more responsibly in gathering and protecting private information. Their activities are not so wide-spread and as a result they have less commercial customers.
Warn Test foundation warns the social network users that they are the only ones who can really protect their privacy, because once you give it to the web, you can never claim it back.
And in so many cases even if you understand that they had used your private information, you can never sue them for breaching the contract based on the click-wrap issue!
