The FTC said that “OkCupid provided the third party with access to nearly three million OkCupid user photos as well as location and other information without placing any formal or contractual restrictions on how the information could be used.” OkCupid “did not inform consumers or give them the chance to opt out of such sharing,” the FTC said.

Indeed, we need a movement to withdraw from the internet with all of our personal details, and to reject it entirely if the government forces it.

I am serious, we didn't have the internet when I was growing up, and everything worked better than now. We were happier too. The internet has proven to be cancer on society.
