Hi Blog. \u00a0Something weird happening here from Panasonic Corporation, targeting NJ Facebook users in general (this time\u00a0not just one Panasonic staff member<\/a> who’s been\u00a0targeting this blogger and his NJ readers in specific<\/a>). \u00a0Thought I’d just pass it along. \u00a0FYI. \u00a0Arudou Debito<\/p>\n

COMMENT FROM SUBMITTER<\/strong>: \u00a0It appears that Panasonic, rather than advertise on Facebook the proper way, instead is targeting non Japanese living in Japan and offering 2,000 yen if they download the app and give Panasonic and Findateacher.net their Facebook passwords.<\/em><\/p>\n

I believe this is not only against the privacy laws in Japan, Facebook has clearly stated it will consider taking legal action against companies that take part in this practice. Sharing one’s Facebook password, also give a company access to the private information of all of that user’s friends, violating the privacy of other Facebook users.<\/em><\/p>\n

http:\/\/www.wired.com\/wiredenterprise\/2012\/03\/facebook-password-employers\/<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

I thought I would bring this to your attention as it is targeting non Japanese ethnic groups. <\/em><\/p>\n
