That was mostly my point to begin with. At best, these new "security" controls prevent attackers from stealing my account and defacing my data. Facebook loses the confidentiality battle and thus the war.
- tptacek 16y agoSo, we're not allowed to reason about the security of Facebook's actual software, because you disagree with their business practices? Sorry, it simply does not follow that because they don't revere your privacy as much as you do that their service must be insecure.
- ax0n 16y agoYou're allowed to reason about the security of Facebook's software. I simply posit that the security of their software makes little difference when they've already taken a compromising stance with their business practices. Also, I don't disagree with their business practices. It's their place. They can run it however they like just as pg runs this place however he likes. I respect that, and I compensate by being cautious (and wish more people would do the same.) Notice that throughout the entirety of this, I've stated my opinion. No more, no less. I even lauded this move as a way to potentially increase Integrity assuming proper implementation and use, yet I get buried.
