[citation][nom]toastninja17[/nom]Really should be more along the lines of "exceptional".Either way, doesn't stop me from using facebook and my iPhone, my two main hubs for communication.[/citation]

Reminds me of Googles WiFi data story. All these people claiming invasion of privacy but they are all the ones who left their networks open.
 
I dont really see any problems with fb privacy...dont frikkin add "sensitive" data about yourself and you are fine. If its a "professional" account, where you post links to your articles or whatever then you dot have anything to hide anyway.

Of course there is the problem of all kinds of silly stuff being posted, but you can filter that out or in worst case - delete/remove yourself from tags, if you care that much.
 
If you choose to put your life story on the internet then you have no right to privacy. Facebook can legally eliminate all of their privacy controls. If this happened then there might not be anyone on Facebook, but it's certainly legal. If you don't want a specific person knowing something about you then don't put it on your Facebook or Myspace page. If you do and that person finds out about it then it's your own fault and nobody else's.
 
For those still using facebook; QUIT NOW. Before this buffoon gains total control of your data.

I've quit two weeks ago, and I frankly don't miss it one bit. I've been perfectly fine; in fact, better since people I don't care about stopped bugging me.

To Zuckerberg: Your standard of "reasonable" must be very, very low.
 
[citation][nom]gm0n3y[/nom]Two things:1) Pools aren't free, at least not where I live.2) I don't use Facebook (because of the privacy issues) and I end up missing out on a lot of things because of it. I feel that gives me the right to complain.[/citation]

That argument wasnt even targeting you, because he was talking about people who use facebook... good day sir.
 
People just love to complain, don't like it, get out of facebook...

I use facebook, I post pictures of chalet vacations or whatnot for my friends...

I understand those who get out of facebook, but frankly, I don't care about anything I post on facebook... As I would not post it if it was private.

(I will however laugh and facepalm myself if I see an internet add with my face on it... but I don't expect it to be that bad... if it is o well, then I close)
 
Who cares about privacy on FB? Don't post anything you wouldn't want 300 million people to know. It's simple: if someone wants your phone number, give it to them individually. No one needs to know any illegal activity you're currently doing, so don't post it. I also don't get the vendetta against advertisement based on what you like. Isn't that the best form of advertisement? Would you rather see irrelevant adds? There's always adblock plus which is free and blocks nearly every ad on the internet.
