  This article discusses the violation of privacy laws as well as misinformation with regards to users' personal information.
  
  It was reported that Facebook, a popular social networking site, disseminated user's personal information without getting proper consent. The users also allege that Facebook conducted data-mining and harvesting without informing such practices to its members.
  
  Question:
  Should users' personal information as well as data mined from the users' daily searches and clicks be disseminated to third parties, since Facebook is a free social networking site? If, not, how is it possible for all users to enjoy such powerful networking site, and at the same time help Facebook maintain costs?
