How can I mess with Facebook analytics? I know I can't keep them from monitoring me, so can I break their model of me? Is there a community response to devalue the data FB collects?

Submission + - Maxthon Web Browser Sends Sensitive Data to China
wiredmikey writes: Security experts have discovered that the Maxthon web browser collects sensitive information and sends it to a server in China. Researchers warn that the harvested data could be highly valuable for malicious actors.
Researchers at Fidelis Cybersecurity and Poland-based Exatel recently found that Maxthon regularly sends a file named ueipdata.zip to a server in Beijing, China, via HTTP. Further analysis (PDF) revealed that ueipdata.zip contains an encrypted file named dat.txt. This file stores information on the operating system, CPU, ad blocker status, homepage URL, websites visited by the user (including online searches), and installed applications and their version number.
Interestingly, In 2013, after the NSA surveillance scandal broke, the company boasted about its focus on privacy and security, and the use of strong encryption.

1. Aircraft loss is a rare event - recovery of the black boxes and debris provides material to help reconstruct the event.
2. Recovery provides comfort and closure to the families of the deceased.
3. The large, coordinated multination search and recovery process sends a strong message to terrorists that we respond sanely to a disaster. We'll only send in the drones or special forces once we've accumulated evidence.
