No. I considered it when the privacy issues first arose, but then I realized I'd miss the little things. For instance, my phone syncs profile pictures with Facebook, so when my friends or family call me, I automatically see a picture of them without me having to set (or take) pictures manually. Instead, I decided to take a more active role in my privacy on Facebook. Yesterday, I removed a lot of information from my profile and severely restricted my privacy settings. Lastly, I added an activity ("Monitoring my Facebook privacy settings") to my profile and shared it with my friends on Facebook and Twitter (and even posted it here on HN) to raise awareness. I think if enough people added that activity to their profile, it would be just as effective at making a statement while still allowing me to keep in touch with my friends and family. For those that are interested, the page for the "Monitoring my Facebook privacy settings" activity is here: http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Monitoring-my-Facebook-privacy-settings/122881171055820?ref=mf http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Monitoring-my-Facebook-priv... Clicking "like" will add it to your profile as an activity.
