This is an extract from an article in The Guardian:
"But this week Facebook has experienced perhaps the closest thing to a crisis in its brief history, with reports of an emergency staff meeting at its California headquarters about privacy issues.
Criticism has been mounting since a revamp of the site in December meant users' profiles became publicly accessible by default. Retreating back into anonymity also became an increasingly tortuous process, with profiles now featuring 50 separate privacy settings and 170 options. This was followed in March by more changes, including plans to automatically share users' information with outside websites."
I know that when one adds an 'application' the small print usually says the providers can do what they wish with your information. So the more applications you have, the more information about you is 'out there'.
I am wary about Facebook, even since I learned that boss Mark Zuckerberg wanted to change the world.
My own security is so tight, that I can barely get in myself, and I use no applications.
Do you feel comfortable with Facebook?
