Entry text: [quote=36][quote="Andrew Somerset"][quote]Banks are already buying data from Facebook, probably including "private" messages, for determining credit scores[/quote] Do you have a citation for that? If banks are doing this then I'd sure to like to know which ones.[/quote] I can't find the article that I did read quite some time ago that said Facebook was selling data to banks (it's part of FB's business model to sell data, after all) - I'm not 100% sure it included private messages (though IIRC there's nothing in FB's policies to exclude those from such deals), that's why I put a "probably" in front of that. That said, information of what friends you have is used by some banks at least, as mentioned by articles I found with a quick search: http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2013/09/lenders-vet-borrowers-social-media-facebook http://money.cnn.com/2013/08/26/technology/social/facebook-credit-score/index.html http://www.pcworld.com/article/246511/how_facebook_can_hurt_your_credit_rating.html[/quote]
