Right now, Rapleaf has profiles on roughly 50 million people. According to the company's privacy policies, those profiles might include a person's age, birth date, physical address, alma mater, friends, political affiliations, and favorite books and music, as well as how long that person has been online, which social networks he frequents, and what applications he's downloaded.

I don't know what's worse: hacking personal journals or selling somebody else's social profile to marketers. In both cases the person who's information is being monetized has no control over the process. Open social networking is rapidly becoming a grand identity theft device.
