Here's a tidbit for the very depressed. Even if Zuckerberg promised to wrap all Facebook data in some kind of digital chastity belt, the partners and friends who originally scraped the personal data still have it. It is still being used, and it is still a marketing tool. And it will live as such a tool as long as it has value. Years, probably. You see, hacked or otherwise procured data is forever. This is also true for hacked information from any of the hundreds of hacked servers worldwide. Modifying the old joke: What lasts longer than true love? The old answer was venereal disease. The new answer is your data . DATA IS FOREVER
