i am well aware of the irony in using google's blog service to write the following.
so, facebook has a new batch of privacy controls in place now. raise your hand if you think this changes anything. facebook already got caught, more than once, violating their own privacy policy for information on their site. as in, they are selling your stuff to advertisers.
rest assured: they are going to continue to do this.
THE SITE IS FREE. BANDWIDTH IS NOT.
and really, nothing's going to change. people are going to keep putting stupid shit on the site, along with enough information for anyone anywhere to identify them, and facebook is going to keep using all of that to pay the bills. employers are still going to be able to weed out applicants based on people having a bong in their profile pics, psychotic and abusive exes are going to continue to stalk their former wives / husbands, and zuckerberg is going to buy a new bentley and keep on thinking you're all retarded.
the company with all your information is not going to stop using it for their own purposes just because a press release said so. anything that goes on the internet never really goes away.
just sayin'
