Canadian insurance firm Manulife has reportedly cut a depressed woman’s benefits because photos showing her happy were posted on Facebook.
The woman, Nathalie Blanchard, said she cannot understand how Manulife was able to access her account because she had adjusted her privacy settings so that only friends could see her posts, said CBC News.
Smile for the birdy ! Thank you. Kiss your insurance goodbye.
Manulife has confirmed to CBC News that it uses Facebook to investigate clients.
But it said, "We would not deny or terminate a valid claim solely based on information published on websites such as Facebook."
Facebook has already proved its use to human resource departments wanting to investigate potential new staff. Senior managers have also been found to use Facebook to check up on employees.
According to Facebook's current privacy policy, the social networking site will share information to prevent fraud or other illegal activity.
"This may include sharing information with other companies, lawyers, courts or other government entities," says the policy.
We sell your facebook info to anyone and the dog. They get to see your pictures , your video's , anything marked private , anything at all !
So what can you do on face book ? You can talk shop. You cannot talk politics or religion, you can talk about a game you play. Thats about it.
