"My particular problem with Facebook is that I simply don't get what's going on; who can see what. I mean, which action of mine will be posted on my wall, who will be able to see it, etc."
Given their track record it is safe to assume that everything you do will be public. If not now, then at some point in the future.
- brianpan 16y agoThis is pretty much what it's come to. But it's confusing in the midst of this slow bait-and-switch. When I signed up for facebook, a big reason was the confirmation of "real-life" friends. Facebook was different than blogs or myspace because the network was "real". We were sharing with our real friends. This is becoming less and less the case. Which means privacy is slowly eroding in a non-obvious way. Sure I can just start assuming everything is completely public but 1) my friends/contacts don't always realize it and 2) without the real privacy, why not just move to blogs, etc. where it's clear?
