I left a comment on your other post (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1341519 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1341519), but here's a proposal - why not make a privacy app for those who care about, that can monitor their as well as their friends' feeds and help them squash unintentionally public posts about personal details? I'd be willing to collaborate if you're interested.

- kingsley_20 16y agoAt the level that the intention is to let you use facebook safely, yes. My feeling is that it would be far easier to convince us scared geeks to install a privacy app that helps our friends and family (with little effort on our part) than to get the unwashed masses to do anything about privacy violations.
- DanielBMarkham 16y agoIf you use the Facebook condom, as it were, and as a part of that it synchronizes your data with some open source format, then you get safety and privacy, you move your data to an open format, and friends get transparency. Good for all, no?
- Qz 16y agoI don't think it would be hard at all. Privacy could be the new anti-virus.
- NEPatriot 16y agoYou can scare the general public pretty easily. All it takes is one example of what could go wrong and all of the sudden there is a boom.
