I just... What? Do people really consent to share that kind of their information? I'm just surprised that people would use Facebook as such an "everything" platform for all the bits of data in their lives. I guess I've always kept relatively tight control over my data, at least whether I want aspects of data about me to be public. I say that even though I make a tremendous amount of information about me very accessible (name, age, address, family, phone number, email address, etc). However, for other people who don't have that luxury, I wonder why in the world they're using Facebook?

  Yes, they do. A lot of people manage their lives via Facebook. It is scary and amazing at the same time.

    Are those people trying to hide from stalkers? If you're avoiding an abusive spouse, some behavioral modifications are going to be necessary. You can't keep going to the same bar for quizzo night, regardless of whether you post about it on Facebook or not.

      People's behavior is modeled after their peer group. A person needs to be careful, but total isolation is counter productive.

      Maybe they're not trying to avoid someone now. It's very difficult, to say the least, to structure your entire online interactions around the possibility that someday someone you love or even someone you haven't met yet will turn into a stalker.

  The entire point of Facebook is to entice people to share every sordid detail about every thing they do in their lives, no matter how pointless or trivial. In fact, the more sordid and pointless, the better--because that's a reflection of a person's "true" priorities and a much better measure of how they actually live their daily lives than any self-censored, banal content they'd put up if they understood the concept of privacy and discretion at all.

>Facebook decides that addresses/events are public too Events are public if the event creator makes them public. Have you ever tried to find your own address? Mine is published and easily accessible if you know my name. Same for the address of the house I grew up in. Same for all my family members. I never put it on Facebook or anywhere else public... My brother never had a Facebook. I guess they got it from public records, however I rent. It somehow made its way into the public sphere and it makes me pretty uncomfortable. Once a friend of mine was looking for addresses to send wedding invitations. He was able to find every single address that he needed without asking anyone. For some reason he didn't want to ask anyone their addresses if he didn't have to.
