Comment on Brands Are Wasting Money on Facebook and Twitter, Forrester Saysparent

You're still letting FB know that its existing users are your customers, which breaches your customer's privacy. Imagine that Ashley Madison did that!

In case anybody else has no idea what Ashley Madison is: it's an online dating service that seems to be focussed on people who are already in a relationship and cheat on their partners. Or something like that.

I agree that the privacy violation is bad as it is, but I don't see how this is a good example for why it's bad.

Well... I imagine that you wouldn't want random advertisers and FB employees knowing that you're interested in cheating on your spouse.
