[ NNSquad ] Facebook's new push triggers even more privacy questions
Facebook's new push triggers even more privacy questions http://bit.ly/cbQ1Q4 (Search Engine Land) I have a Facebook account. I don't use it. Basically the only information I'm willing to share with Facebook is my password for accessing Facebook. And the only reason I do that is because, uh, well, I couldn't log in without it. Which I rarely bother to do. (Which reminds me, if you've ever tried to "Friend" me on Facebook, don't hold your breath for a response -- I routinely ignore everything Facebook sends out.) The reason is simple and basic. I have a fundamental distrust of Facebook's "core values" related to privacy. At every stage, they've attempted to manipulate rather than treat these issues in an honestly straightforward manner. That's why when it comes to entrusting someone in the Cloud with any privacy-sensitive data, I'll take Eric Schmidt over Mark Zuckerberg any day. --Lauren-- NNSquad Moderator
