Read the full BBC article and down there at the bottom, I can share the article with my Bro's and Bra's on Facebook. Nice touch.

Facebook makes it pretty clear that you are giving up access to your information when you add an application and gives you the option to not allow it. What else do these people expect them to do? At some point you reach the level of personal responsibility.

*yawn*

Not that I'm a conspiracy nut but it should be common sense that there is no such thing as privacy the second you put your information on the internet. There is actually no privacy at all if you consider the measures that are on place for so called security. security for personal information is a joke and if anyone wants information bad enough they will get it.

@tawni: Your Privacy is an Illusion?

i think at the end of the day, people on these networks really care about themselves and on occasion a few people they kind "follow" around.

I'd like to see the day where people login one day to see the latest 10 profile visitors on their page without prior knowledge of tracking occuring. people would be in effect, caught "peeping" and feel utterly humiliated by the feeble and pathetic basis of the site. this is why myspace was so quick to stunt this. everyone wants to know who views their profile, but not the other way around.

these are people who know each other in real life, but much of the peeping happens between the weaker IRL ties. who is peepin your profile?

Oh my, it can collect something that ps already publicly available on peoples profiles.
