Facebook CEO: You Don't Really Give a Shit About Your Privacy
Thats how I read it at least. I never really related to the willingness to give up ones privacy but I think there is going to be some fallout as these facebook and myspace users get older and their privacy is gone and you have these no-good snoops stealing peoples' identities. That shit is becoming an epidemic.
Lost in the flurry of products announcements at last week's Consumer Electronics Show was Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg's suggestion on Friday that some aspects of privacy are a thing of the past. The Facebook founder's comments were part of an interview with TechCrunch's Michael Arrington during last week's Crunchie awards presentation.
"People have really gotten comfortable not only sharing more information and different kinds, but more openly and with more people. That social norm is just something that's evolved over time," Zuckerberg said. "We view it as our role in the system to constantly be innovating and be updating what our system is to reflect what the current social norms are." Zuckerberg then pointed to Facebook's recent privacy policy change that made user's key information open by default as an example of the social network's willingness to reflect "current social norms."
But Zuckerberg's belief that Facebook's latest privacy policy is what people want ignores the fact that privacy concerns have continually dogged Facebook. The company has been accused on several occasions of not being in step with the needs and privacy concerns of its users. With that in mind, let's revisit some of Facebook's privacy problems to see how well Facebook really has reflected "current social norms."
Speak for yourself boner-nose. So how do you people feel about your level of privacy on the internet? Ass-pic posters notwithstanding.
Meh, I rarely use Facebook. Apart from stupid pictures, I have nothing important there.
If I purchase anything, it's through Amazon, and even that is rare. When I do purchase, I make sure my credit card is charged correctly and that no other purchases have been made. If so, it's just a phone call away from cancellation.

^^Exactly. You're better off labeling yourself with some bogus name. Your real friends hopefully already know who you are. Besides, I usually don't accept unfamiliar friend requests...or use Facebook often, for that matter.
Seriously, people either lock down everything on the internet, or they don't give a shit anyway.
I think anyone can see everything I have on Facebook, doubt I am ever going to get assassinated or raped.
Oh well.
Well that isn't the imminent threat. People get their identities stolen everyday. It's not necessarily the fact that somebody will ruin your life, which is certainly possible but unlikely, but simply the hassle of having to deal with it. Some prick in Minnesota stole my identity, and I live in New York. He bought a car with my identity. Obviously, I was subsequently reimbursed but it was nearly a month of pure headache.

Yea, that could happen too, but I really just don't care. I would rather live freely for a long time and endure the one month than the other way around.
Plus, you getting your identity stolen is on the rise, yes, but it's still just unlucky; nothing else.
Unless you post your credit card number and all that shit for some reason.
I remember that nonsense about facebook saying that they have the rights to pictures that we post. As if they can do whatever they want with them. Something like that.
Or I think it was something like they save the pictures we put up. Meaning that if we delete pictures from our facebook page, they still have it. It's not really deleted.
Even if you delete your facebook page, it's still not actually deleted. Which is lame I think. Remembered canceling my account in the past, got back on, and everything was still there.
Well I didn't randomly post my information on the internet. Your identity can be stolen any number of ways. I just pay up the 10 dollars a month now for Lifelock, and let them deal with that shit for me. I was lucky to have only a month worth of hassle, because it can really screw up your life for months if you're not careful about things.
The other subject here is the fame-obsession people are so desirous of nowadays. Its actually an interesting spin on the Big Brother myth. There isn't any need for Big Brother because people are willingly giving themselves over to the vast osmosis of the internet anyway.
