Why haven't you sent out an all call asking for "the best of the wall of shame?" You know that Facebook keeps the most shameful and embarasing photos after they've been deleted and collects them on a page that they internally have called the wall of shame? It's pretty amusing if you've seen it, actually, but I'm surprised that no one else has sent something over...
We're sure that lots of hilarious pictures are availabe on Facebook — and accessible to Facebook employees. For instance,
this picture of Chicago Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher and a contestant in the VH1 reality show
Rock of Love leaked to our sister site Deadspin. A friend who worked at a photo site assures me that it's common practice to pass around hilarious pictures users post. The difference, though, is that the photo site in question hosts public photos. Even though Facebook claims to be the largest photo-hosting site in the world, most of its users expect its privacy controls to keep images safe from strangers' prying eyes. Even if they work at Facebook.
Especially if they work at Facebook.

Let's look at Zuckerburg's history according to Wikipedia. He "hacked" Harvard servers to obtain pictures of students for his "Hot or Not" clone, and we all know of the legal battle over who founded Facebook. At Facebook, he let the news streams feature get written.
His complete disregard for IP law and privacy is now a liability. Facebook is always closer to going one step too far, and they don't have a history of asking users how they feel.
Whether it's Facebook ads or the Wall of Shame, I expect some embarrassing news, soon.
Well he lacks experience on handling things like privacy. He also hires people who are lacking in professional ethics.
You guys know that every photo lab in the world does the same thing, right? Your off-line privacy is an illusion, too.
