	Click Rain Interview on Social Media Data Mining The privacy debate surrounding recent Facebook changes and their roll-out of the open graph has marketers licking their chops. It also has an increasing number of consumers and privacy advocates raising their voices in concern. However, there is another privacy issue that is surfacing and it involves the mining of public social media profile data to build social profiles. These social profiles, in turn, are being used by companies to determine things like an individual's financial liability and credit risk level based on their friends, pages they like, and other data. KELO-TV in Sioux Falls recently highlighted this "Digital Dossier" issue and asked Click Rain to weigh in on this trend and what consumers can do to protect themselves.
