Ford's CEO just said on NPR that the future of profitability for the company is all the data from its 100 million vehicles (and the people in them) they'll be able to monetize. Capitalism & surveillance capitalism are becoming increasingly indistinguishable (and frightening). If you're wondering, the show was Freakonomics, and this story has some of the key transcript quotes. freep.com/story/money/ca…

Want to stop info of yours from going out over Facebook's API? Then you'll need disable "Platform". (Go to privacy settings, and press "edit" for "apps, websites and plugins"). Go ahead and do it. I mean, who uses FB apps anyway? This ain't 2009. If for some reason you don't want to do that, at least edit "Apps Others Use" and uncheck all the categories of data there. (Note that data Facebook considers "public"--like name, gender, and friends list--will still be shared over API if you don't disable Platform.)
