I don't understand. Are you trying to be funny, or just really lame?

  Making a point. It's exactly the sort of problem a lot of Facebook noise-makers are focusing on. There are different levels of privacy, and privacy can be expected online. How else do you buy anything online? You're giving out your credit card / bank data and billing and delivering address, but when was the last time you saw those broadcast online to everyone who can google your name? If Amazon started listing names of people who purchased things (and what they purchased), you can bet people would get pissed. What Facebook is doing is about the same thing, and it's getting worse all the time, hence the uproar. But remember the uproar is happening in a tiny amount of the internet - the goal of all this is to get the average user to realize what's happening, because they should be upset about it. edit: As an example, take a look at the Facebook phone number site. People are clearly expecting FB to be holding things at least somewhat private, when they're not. And they keep opening things up further and further, and the UI keeps implying it's just you and your friends. Nobody but us geeks even consider reading privacy statements, so the UI is all they go on. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1370786 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1370786
