This article has nothing to do with Linux, but by sending others a link to it, it helps them understand why Facebook is way-too-creepy for me. |

exactly my thought. the topic of social networks and privacy comes up frequently enough on lxer for this to be interesting. my personal feeling is that i knew facebook was creepy, but i didn't know it was that creepy. from my previous stance of "i'd rather not join it, but i might if it turns out to be the only way to keep in touch with someone important to me" i have upgraded to "no, i'll never join. over my dead body". my children will also not be permitted to join until they are old enough that i can't legally stop them (if i haven't managed to raise them with enough respect for privacy by then i'll have to blame myself). greetings, eMBee. |

Convenient for users but convenient for data-mining.I have thought this about Price Club memberships too,but this may be more personal.Anyway it's about time someone other than Google was pointed out for privacy/antitrust violations. |
