The Facebook Privacy Thread

[innerSpaceman]

I don't see the problem. Facebook is unparalled at what it offers - and for the price of removing your personal info is just as safe as anywhere on the net. (It's not the meet market that myspace was, so I don't bemoan the absence of my personal information as a hinderance to meeting mssrs. right or right now).

If you think a success like facebook is not going to fall victim to the money-bug to make dollars off that success, I have another planet to sell you.

Meanwhile, twitter just gave all your tweets to the Library of Congress. Wake up - There Is No Privacy On the Internet. Deal.With.It.

Yes there is. It just takes a bit more work.

For example, I run my own private email server. Host my own media server for sharing photos, videos and such with family.

I don't use sites that have murky privacy policy. Twitter for example. I have no problem with Twitter because from square one it's clearly public info. I know whatever I post there is going into the library of congress for all times. Facebook likes to pretend to give me privacy. I hate that.

Plus I'm antisocial an introvert so I don't rely on any of this social media crap for anything I care about anyway.
