Users themselves don&#8217;t seem to be giving it much thought, and the NYReview article concerned very large-scale algorithms rather than  effects on individuals.  But by being on Facebook, am I not giving the shape of a certain acquaintancship away, even without giving them political ammunition or financial details?  I think that&#8217;s really mine, and should stay that way.  Or is it?  Because without the software, the shape would not be the same.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apparently this logo isn&#8217;t original enough to qualify for any kind of legal protection at all.
