Privacy Issues

Published by James September 10th, 2006 in Social Networks

The only sad thing I see about the whole Facebook PR debacle is that the Facebook kids actually think they are right and their privacy is restored.

I mean, you like totally need a college ID right?

In response to the uproar, Facebook came out and told the kids to chill; these features are simply better uses of data syndication that will make their life more efficent and full of less “MySpace or Stalker like” pageviews. Facebook then realized the kids didn’t get it, so they wrote again that the kids are right and Facebook will take down the features. Phew, thanks kids, we almost gave away all your privacy!

From Zuckerberg’s letter, digging on the ignorance of the community in a very condescending tone:

This may sound silly, but I want to thank all of you who have written in and created groups and protested. Even though I wish I hadn’t made so many of you angry, I am glad we got to hear you. And I am also glad that News Feed highlighted all these groups so people could find them and share their opinions with each other as well.

No vegetables for the Facebook kids unless you are willing to fly them into thier mouths airplane-style.

Everything is going to be O K
