I don't know why you're being sarcastic, I've never seen anyone type an ip address into the browser for anything other than troubleshooting. Hell, if you have a netgear router, you can even type out routerlogin.net if you don't want to memorize "192.168.1.1". I'm not saying people won't figure it out if they need their fix, but even something like web-based proxies are vastly unused by high school students trying to get around filters.

Facebook Retroactively Makes More User Data Public 287

mjn writes "In yet another backtrack from their privacy policy, Facebook has decided to retroactively move more information into the public, indexable part of profiles. The new profile parts made public are: a list of things users have become 'fans' of (now renamed to 'likes'), their education and work histories, and what they list under 'interests.' Apparently there is neither any opt-out nor even notice to users, despite the fact that some of this information was entered by users at a time when Facebook's privacy policy explicitly promised that it wouldn't be part of the public profile."
