Is Facebook Invasion of Privacy Going Too Far?

I think I'm getting fed up with Facebook.

Here's why: I go to Pandora today.

It's online radio that you can program it -- your way. I'm not using the free version. I paid a few dollars. I'm not sure how much. It was like $29 or $49 for the whole year.

It's supposed to be advertising free. Which is nice for me. No stupid commercials. No annoying Sprint animated ads of tiny 3D people doing the Cotton Eyed Joe dancing around my desktop. Let me tell you THAT was an annoying banner ad. I only paid Pandora the fee to get rid of the Sprint ads and shut up. 

Today, I bring up Pandora and on the top, I get rudely told that Facebook is now going to be used to PERSONALIZE my Pandora experience.

What's wrong with this picture? Plenty:

1.) It's a violation of my agreement with Pandora. I paid them NOT to be interrupted with ADS. So -- do I SUE them? 

2.) I don't have my real name on Facebook. I have it as Bartholomew and Bartley. I don't have my hobbies posted and I don't have my real birthdate either. 

3.) So... how can Pandora let Facebook personalize my "listening experience," when I haven't given Facebook accurate information on me? ( Nobody should. Why? ID theft. )

Facebook marketing is a good part of your marketing mix, but I'm starting to wonder what the Hell they're thinking about Pandora.

How can my Facebook profile tell Pandora what my music listening preferences are?  With all of this personal preferences going back and forth, is it anyone but me who's wondering where all of your personal information is going to?

Think about this: 

You gave Facebook your name and your birthday. (hopefully NOT your real one)

You invite all your friends and family

You let 3rd party firms have access to your friends/family every time you ALLOW a Facebook application for;

1. - Causes
2. - Pillow Fights
3. - Hugs
4. - Mafia Wars
5. - etc. etc.

Where is all of this personal preferences, your name, birthday and family going to shared with? 

I can't be the only one wondering about this.
