The database of a social media portal such as Facebbok is already a powerful collection of information. Some research centers specializing in the use of Big Data datasets downloaded from social media portals through sentiment analysis, develop reports that can help in forecasting phenomena and processes in the future.
Medicine is one of the areas in which there are great possibilities in this matter. For example, insurance companies and commercial banks granting loans may be interested in information shared by users on Facebook and, possibly, also on other social media portals.
Apparently, some insurance companies and commercial banks during the analysis of a submitted insurance or credit application review the information content of accounts, applicant profiles, potential customer, contractor posted on social media portals. Does anyone from you conduct research in this field? Does anyone of you have scientific publications with research results in this field?
In the context of the above issues, I am asking you the following question:
Is the information about users on Facebook a source of data for companies, potential contractors?
Please reply
I invite you to the discussion
Thank you very much
Best wishes
This is a good question. There are currently evolving studies, policies and new laws regulating social media, research ethics by using social media regarding confidentiality and consent approval. Facebook is aware of consequences, and I doubt that will gamble to go into this area, particularly with the sharp teeth in the American laws in these areas.
Is the information about users on Facebook a source of data for companies, potential contractors?
Definitely yes, not only for companies / contractors - but also everyone can check out everyone in the Internet-connected era e.g. find out who are the interviewers or interviewees for the coming up interviews, what are the trainer's background before attending a specific training etc. However, usage of these data collected is depending on the beholder's positive or negative intention.
Yes, I also agree with the opinion that the scale of surveillance of Internet users by technological Internet companies continues to grow and generates an increase in the risk of unfavorable for users of certain websites and social media portals the use of information. The question arises how Internet users should force the providers of Internet information services to raise the level of security of collecting and transfer of information on the Internet? Is the scale of awareness of Internet users too small in the problem of security of collecting and transfer of information on the Internet?
Information always invest justice & moderate use of social networking
e. g., Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp etc. not only able to identify real outlook of person but also secure civil liberty or protection of life and personal liberty with respect to डेमोक्रेटिक values.

A lot of data indicate that the scale of using information on social media websites by online technology and marketing companies is gradually growing. Is there a growing risk of misuse of this information or the risk of unauthorized access from hacking and cybercrime attacks? What do you think?
Few Months back a new Facebook challenge went viral asking users to post a photo from 10 years ago and one from today captioning “how did aging effect you?” That being called the “10-Year Challenge.” Over 5.2 million, including many celebrities, participated in that challenge.
Imagine that
if someone want to train a facial recognition algorithm on age-related features, specifically, on the progression of age that how someone will likely be looking as they get older.
Ideally, he would be needing a load of broad and rigorous data-sets with lots of people's pictures.
and It would help if he knew they were taken a fixed time span i.e fixed number of years apart.
So it seems like that, that 10 Year Challenge' on Facebook was A Way To Mine Data For Facial Recognition AI,
This may help the companies/recruiters to get information about potential/suitable people of a particular age group, say 20 - 28 years age, which might help in selecting particular set of candidates instead of seeking masses. Dariusz Prokopowicz
At present, there is no provision for the user to access facebook data for free data collection. Four years back, through Netvizz, an open source free software, it was possible to extract Facebook data. At present, only data can be extracted only if Facebook authority extract data for someone.
Big data uses social media data as well to fetch companies required information about their clients.it will even increase in very near future espousing the settings of Industry 4.0...
Yes, I agree with the above opinions and statements. For many companies, social media portals such as Facebook, Tweeter and others are a source of data on shopping and behavioral preferences used by companies operating in various industries and sectors for the purposes of marketing activities.
In the context of the above considerations, the following key questions arise:
- What kind of companies, in which industries and sectors do the companies obtain information about potential customers of their product and service offerings from the analysis of data sets in Big Data systems, i.e. information about clients obtained from social media portals?
- Is the computerized research process conducted according to the sentiment analysis formula the dominant method of analyzing customer data obtained from social media portals, analysis carried out on data collected in Big Data systems?
- Are the examples of effectively computerized research processes conducted in Big Data systems conducted according to the formula of sentiment analysis analysis of customer data obtained from social media portals published in the scientific literature?
