You all realize you don’t need Facebook to keep track of people, don’t you?

Thanks for posting this video! It’s helpful; we’ll be linking to this for our own readers. I’m often amazed how many people are quite unconcerned about all their private info going out into the world via Facebook anyway; I’ve been guarding my info since the beginning and watching it, but that’s me. I hate to lose Facebook as a networking tool—I’ve kept so many friends through moves and changes—but not at such expense. Here’s to hoping they get their acts together!

Can someone explain what the deal is with Facebook? I don’t understand why people feel it is necessary to have a presence on this privately owned, heavily surveilled and trolled website. If you want web presence there are many other ways of achieving it.
I’ve been assuming that people did want intimate facts of their sex lives and financial affairs broadcast to the Net and sifted by advertisers and the government (and God knows who else), but given the complaints, it seems that people are simply acting against their own interests and desires. I could really use an explanation.

Actually this is helpful.
Report thisBut what I’d like to see is some explanation about why FB profiles are now “linked” to “pages,” rendering them, basically, blank.

The author is an idiot!
This procedure configures basic privacy settings, it doesn’t fix a damn thing. Facebook has a history of and will continue to leak personal information for fun and profit and suffer from poorly written bug infected code.
The only way to fix Facebook privacy is to get the hell off of it and find a life in the blood-and-flesh world.
