Our internet data has to remain private

Social networking site Facebook intends to change its terms and conditions ,thus allowing itself to transmit the data of their customers to third parties and partner companies.
This is not acceptable and Facebook users should be informed as to whom the company intends to pass this information. A
lso, the user should be asked for authorisation each time the company intends to forward this information. Sites like Facebook, MySpace or Linkein collect data from their customers and their final usage remains a mystery to the user.
As long as the explicit authorisation of passing private data to third parties is not implemented, I would recommend that these social networks not be used or, alternatively, that the user not disclose their personal data.
