That someone is "people" and the axe they have to grind is "stop trolling the personal data you unscrupulously collected from us in the first place by hoodwinking us into thinking you actually MEANT the meaningless drivel in your privacy policy."
- ErrantX 16y agoI've not fully kept up with all the stories recently (been busy, I have a pretty open FB account anyway etc..) but as far as I was aware the only really problematic thing (from a privacy perspective) was the new favourites/likes etc. thing where certain things can appear on the "fan" page without you really realising. I wasn't aware of anything else specific that was bending the privacy policy to the limit? Anyone care to fill me in on the TL;DR version? (the social graph, as far as I saw, obeys your privacy settings)
- megablast 16y agoSelling all your details to advertisers. Constantly changing what is private and what is public. Getting upset at someone using the data that they provide to the public for research purposes. There is more.
- kmavm 16y ago"Selling all your details to advertisers." Simply, no. There is no check you can write to facebook to in order to get a particular facebook user's, or set of users', information.

- alex_c 16y agoI'm not following Facebook closely either, but two things I'm aware of: - 3rd parties (app developers, Facebook Connect users, etc.) no longer have a 24hr limit on storing user data - Open Graph basically means your Facebook info has the potential to be plastered all over the web if you're browsing without being logged out of Facebook
