Facebook stops insurance company (https://www.openrightsgroup.org/press/releases/2016/facebook-is-right-to-stop-admiral-insurance-from-using-its-data) from doing what Facebook has patented (http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2015/09/facebooks-new-patent-and-digital-redlining/407287/)

Question: Why didn’t ORG point this out in their article, where they praise Facebook?

(If you want to see where this is all going, look up Sesame Credit in China.)

Update: ORG updated their blog post (not their press release) after my posts and now they mention the Facebook patent in passing in what I can only describe as privacy washing:

‘It is sensible for Facebook to continue to restrict these activities, despite patents and rumours that they may themselves wish to monetise Facebook data in this kind of way.’

‘Patents and rumours’… are you serious?
