As another commenter noted, this article is partly nonsensical, and to the extent that it is coherent, it is wrong. There have been at least half a dozen articles on Hacker News recently with exaggerated or incorrect claims about Facebook and privacy. I wrote about this "mob behavior" here: http://33bits.org/2010/05/10/facebook-privacy-public-opinion-and-pitchforks/ http://33bits.org/2010/05/10/facebook-privacy-public-opinion... It is interesting that the discontent about Facebook has reached such levels that anything at all can kick up an outrage. It is also depressing that this is the top story on Hacker News. It is what I would have expected from Digg or Reddit.
