The idea for that post came out of a conversation I had with Nadia Matos , the CTV reporter, a couple of weeks ago.

Facebook must openly communicate any changes in its privacy controls, and more importantly, report any breaches in privacy, and quickly correct them. Facebook now knows a lot more about where people go when they are not actively on the company’s site, how long they spend there, and what they liked.

There have been many reports that Twitter has “announced&# that recurring tweets would become a Terms of Service Violation. Reports also state that recurring tweets would be a violation of Twitter’s Terms of Service (TOS). I love this provision and will now start reporting people who tweet these schemes.

Report spammers. Unfollow, block and report racists and pornographers. Don’t rely too heavily on retweeting other people’s content. Don’t tweet about pets. Unfollow anyone who tweets about teeth whitening products. Make the world a better place. Unfollow anyone who tweets about schemes to get more followers. Or anywhere else.

Either practice is more like reporting than reproduction, and would involve the “copying” of relatively small percentages of the content.

CNN will not report it. That 5000 is made up of individuals, many of whom will be oblivious to the fact you unfollowed them and some of whom will be pleased. There is no 5000-person impact. If on the other hand you feel the quality of your social network relationships has deteriorated, then maybe you do want to unfollow a bunch of people.

According to a report on NBC’s Today Show last August, “Tweens (children 9-11) represent $43 billion in spending power”!
