Posted since 29.12.2014 on my FB wall:
With the advent of technology and its developments, everybody is creating new aps using their open source and/or Android tools. At least last couple of weeks, there is a sudden spread of '2014 year-end Tamasha' going on in the name of 'My Times 2014' or something similar and everyone is trying their best to showcase what they did by just clicking a link and within 3 minutes are so, something comes up, we get elated and out of sheer anxiety, we share that on our wall again.
They just use some code to pick random stuff from our profile, our prior status updates, comments and/or shares whatever we indulged during a certain period (say one year) and they portray something and come with an output. It looks fine and adventurous and is a kind of entertainment and time pass.
Just imagine, if a 3rd party tool can just pick stuff from our own FB profile and/or prior inputs that we may have done in the past and come with certain output in NO time, Does it not sound coming with a risk as if 'what all these chaps can do with our data, pictures and status updates including our own personal information (base level) ? We would not have and need not have shared our Credit card numbers, bank details and / or any such sensitive data. Don't you think there is a tendency to play with our data and by a mere click of a button, most of our info gets into wrong and unscrupulous hands? What's the surety and guarantee that our information would not be abused or misused by these portals and/or sites who apparently are behind these adventurous tasks or tools.
I also clicked one such couple of days. But looking at the way these stuff work (does not work visibly to our comprehension and understanding and common sense), I see something fishy here.
