Hi Logos,

Facebook has been trespassing the rules they have set out by themselves: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704513104575256701215465596.html
Identifiable strings were sent inside data with user and profile name, the data breach has been reported by Ben Edelman, a privacy fighter, here his analysis: http://www.benedelman.org/news/05xx10-1.html

People should come to realize that their virtual and digital existence has become fully transparent to be sold out to the highest bidder,

yeah, Facebook is becoming a real shame…its reputation is being so much advertised that it can’t be ignored. I guess most users just don’t care…they keep sharing personal data in the open…they keep joining the “family” ::slight_smile:

same story again and again, not mentioning that Zuckerberg (26) might not be in control of Facebook anyway ::slight_smile:

I guess you didn’t look at my post ???

I knew about “regain privacy” before reading your post. First I tried it >>> it detected issues but couldn’t fix, I had to change the corresponding settings manually. And second, that doesn’t change anything to the fact that facebook privacy policy and settings should be 100% revised. The scanning and eventual fixing of the settings is just a temporary fix…
